p.s. looking at the recording dates, these shows were done one after another day after day, some 2 a day. All that amazing talent squished into a few days recording. what a show. Thank you, Rachel Cummings.

I just noticed a whole string of songs by different people live on stage and not one auto-tuned vocal, gotta appreciate the great singers, there aren't many left.
--- Anybody else just finding this show now? Gawd,uploaded in 2014. Plus I'm 64 years old and never heard of the show before, and I follow a lot lot of music.
Thank you for preserving this - I wonder how many other great regional program performances are lost forever. I'm glad we still have this one thanks to you, Rachel!
Such a fine talent! And a doll, to boot! I only recently discovered The Beat. Great backup band with Gatemouth Brown. Great talent. And a fine, if kind of surprising, host in Bill 'Hoss' Allen!
@@stewartfenton7660 LOL! More than okay, I would say! When I was a kid, in the middle of the Civil Rights struggle of the late 50s and early 60s, I looked to people like this for reassurance that we weren't all totally messed up.
@@onebluenineTV glad to hear that about him. I must admit I don't know much about him, beyond reading some liner notes he did on some LP I've got. I just recently got my vinyl out, and will remind myself of what record that was.
Hoss came from a wealthy family, but was mostly raised by a hired "housekeeper" who took him to black churches where he learned to appreciate gospel music. Thank God for her influence which Hoss is now sharing with the world...
Thanks for posting this! All the acts are terrific, and the host and production are excellent, too. Gatemouth Brown is a master musician... Barbara Lynn is amazing... Li'l Gary channels JB... Wow! !!!The Beat****
Hot damn, Gatemouth Brown as the house guitarist, Gatemouth killin' it down home style on a fiddle, Barbara Lynn singing and playing up a storm, Mighty Joe Young, whew!
real singers, real muscians, what a difference. I use to listen to Hoss Allen on WLAC Nashville 50,000 watts. Listend at night from Orlando, Fl. Saw the Kelly Brothers LIVE on a show with Wilson Pickett in 1966 at Orlando Municipal Auditorium.
Great talents , all !!!!!!!!!!!!! Poor Hoss had a bit of a drinking problem . When the show came to an end , Hoss was so upset , and drunk , he could not host the show . Otis Redding hosted the final show. I am truly lucky and blessed to have the entire series on DVD .
What a blessing to see and hear this! I well up with pride and overflowing joy knowing that this our music, our culture, our country’s music and history! Even though I was only a baby when this show aired I feel so good listening to this, these are the cats that many a famous rock musicians looked up to and tried to emulate from all over the world this is truly the heart of R&B, rock n roll, blues, country, and jazz, live and original music there’s nothing like it today, and Barbara Lyn had it going on! Thanks for sharing these videos!
I had seen the Barbara Lynn footage before but not a whole show ! This stuff is so good. I'm a 50 year old white Englishman and I wanna play guitar in that band 😊👍
For the guitar enthusiasts like me, take a look at this: besides playing left-handed, she plays with only a few picks on her fingers and her hand. I call that real guitar talent. I must admit I tend to switch to a pick sometimes when strumming. but she doesn't want to know of this. Respect!
That bro on guitar with Barbara is / was one bad dude, - hey little little I’ll play my fiddle, got nothing to lose playing that grand ole opry, rollover chuck berry and you country players, this guy’s in town. Incredible! ❤👍👍👍
Okay, I don't know math very well but I think this is probably more like 16000 likes because each act is worth a like on its oen-- if not more. So fantastic! TY
Wow...your name, my Uncle is a Blues Man and his name is Johnny Drummer....& the twist is, he's 1st cousin to The Kelly Brothers, yep! The Kelly Brothers are my relatives.
Wow your name......My Uncle is a Blues Musician, his name is Johnny Drummer, twist is....he's 1st cousins to The Kelly brothers, yep! The Kelly brothers are my relatives.
I totally agree you with Barbara Lynne …she really sounds great here. This is a spectacular show. A really treasure to hear folks who can really perform.
Mid 1960s Westinghouse O&O station. Same thing as Mike Douglas Show out of KYW in Philadelphia. All the Westinghouse shows had the same look graphically but were high quality productions. From a time when non network product could still be seen regionally and sometimes be syndicated nationally. Gatemouth Brown as bandleader playing a late 50s Rickenbacker Capri, rare even then before displaying his other skills on violin. Look elsewhere on YT for another posting from "The Beat" featuring Louis Jordan, regarded as one of the founders of the small group R&B sound. With Jordan, Chris Columbo on drums, a legend in his own right.
Check out this band!!And it is live! Wow! You lose a good thing was a big hit with my older.siblings . She is great! Singing and she is it to that guitar!😎😎
Wow, I lived in College Station Tx from 67 thru 70, moved from Tampa fl. First exposure to black kids in public school. My dad was a racist but those kids were kind to me and stood up to white bullies for me who took a dislike to me because I was a nerd. Lester and Emmett, I remember them still. Hope they had great lives. We didn't get WFAA, we didn't even have cable, but I would have loved this show. Texas was pretty cool back then.... even in College Station there was a record shop I hung out at and learned quite a lot... then there was the Woodstock movie....
Check out the dancer to the left of the screen, in the blue and white. She is JAMMING BEAUTIFULLY, and in rhythm, to each beat. Get down beautiful sister.-WITH YO FINE SELF. SHE WOULD BE BAAAAD EVEN TODAY, IN 2024. REMEMBER, THIS SHOW WAS TAPED IN 1966.(Nineteen sixty-six.)
Gatemouth spoke on stage about the fact his music can not be categorized definitely. This (pure) country (!) instrumental prooves this. Inbetween soul tracks. The guitar part at 2:42-2:50 is killer. The shuffle lick solo before that...Check it out
THESE ARE GREAT, RACHEL! I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I HAD NO IDEA THIS AMAZING SHOW EXISTED..( BUT! I WAS BORN IN 1966...SO....)! Much LOVE and MAD RESPECT FROM NEW ORLEANS BABY! ^..^ ⚜🎺🎷🥁🎭🍺🥃🦐🦞🦀🐊
Oh...the slate says "WFAA"...so this was taped in Dallas, NOT Nashville where producers Show Biz, Inc. and host "Hossman" Bill Allen called home. Interesting!
@@markwilliams5928 wtf, blaming current rap style on "elite whites." The elite are guilty of a lot of things but not everything happening in black culture. Some responsibility lays on your shoulders on how shit goes down and if it's not to your liking then change it up.
Barbara Lynn fue la cantante y guitarrista negra adolescente presentada por el músico e intérprete Huey Meaux a principios de los 60s. Barbara grabo la canción You'll lose a Good Thing alcanzando el puesto 10 de las listas de rhythm and blues en 1962, cuyos derechos cedidos a la Jamie Records de Filadelfia. Con la canción We Got a Good Thing Going en 1964, logró que los Rolling Stones en Gran Bretaña hicieran una versión tributo.
WOW! Barbara Lynn - You'll Lose A Good Thing. Such a classic, and to see it live, WOW!
a slice of America that unfortunately many of us never knew existed. This is 1966 and seems fresh as tomorrow!!
p.s. looking at the recording dates, these shows were done one after another day after day, some 2 a day. All that amazing talent squished into a few days recording. what a show. Thank you, Rachel Cummings.
I WASN'T BORN YET. 68. MAN!!! THEM FOLKS COULD SANG!!
@@percybland256 1959 here, BUT, this show apparently aired only in the Houston/southwest area...too bad for me in NY.
Made right down here at the
old WFAA channel 8 studios
in downtown Dallas.
The premise was that this
was a Memphis TN show.
That's where the emcee/disc
jockey Hoss was from.
Only the Dallas television
studio was way more modern
and suitable for recording in
color. I don't remember the
show airing in Texas even
though it was produced and
recorded here. Much of the
talent originated here as well
These old shows, are a great historical record of great talent before the digital revolution..! REAL TALENT…❤
I just noticed a whole string of songs by different people live on stage and not one auto-tuned vocal, gotta appreciate the great singers, there aren't many left.

My hero, Barbara Lynn...SWEEEEET!
Best musical show I've seen in 30 years. What a line up!! I was 7 when this was made..
Me too!
Ms. Barbara Lynn superb musician !
Ms. Barbara Lynn had some skills!!!!
Y`all better believe that!
And probably still does: this lady is in her seventies so she is with us fortunately. Hope she does still sing and play.
@@teiltje ua-cam.com/video/X7oKIO0utsI/v-deo.html
She sure did! And you can tell you loves to perform!
@@teiltje Yes! She does.
Simply outstanding ! Such a wealth of talent captured at their best...forever.....Barbara Lynn knocking it outta the park !...superb upload - thankyou
Wow this is true American history / culture. Awesome 🇺🇸
She absolutely kicks ass on stage
Found this gem (The Beat) just now. W-O-W!!! Dust these relics off and put them back on the air.
Thank you for preserving this - I wonder how many other great regional program performances are lost forever. I'm glad we still have this one thanks to you, Rachel!
The Kelly Brothers??? Outstanding!! Real rhythm and blues with a southern soul feeling!!!
Wow! It’s a wonder we get to visually witness this Lady’s splendid god given gift to really belt & strum!!! Awesome!
Such a fine talent! And a doll, to boot!
I only recently discovered The Beat. Great backup band with Gatemouth Brown. Great talent. And a fine, if kind of surprising, host in Bill 'Hoss' Allen!
AND BILLY COX ON BASS JIMIS HENDRIX BUDDY AND LATER BAND MATE IN BAND OF GYPSYS!!!!!!!
Hoss talks funny,but he's OK.
@@stewartfenton7660
LOL! More than okay, I would say!

Gatemouth Brown is a legend in his own right! He seems to be the bandleader for this show.
Yes, he was the Bandleader!
@@erikheddergott5514 I believe he was the musical director. If there's a difference.
@@stewartfenton7660 It is a precising Information.
Local programs in the 50's and 60's for local markets were amazing.
Hoss came from a wealthy family, but was mostly raised by a
hired "housekeeper" who took him to black churches where he learned to appreciate gospel music. Thank God for her influence which Hoss is now sharing with the world...
See, sometimes the smallest kindness can reap a multitude of benefits.
@ Rachel Cummings I love you for sharing this! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Yes Ms Lynn show them how it's done. I loved the beat show, some of the best northern soul. Thanks so much for sharing this.
never knew the kelly brothers until i watched this video. powerful powerful stuff!
Wonderful ! So great Show ! Amazing vocals , outstanding musicians, great host just music babe !! Thanks for sharing this videos.

I can't believe that I just ran across this. Awesome music.
Wow she's so good....amazing...I've only just discovered her....!!!
Yummy, jammer!
@alterdestiny It really does!
Legend. Left handed woman.
So pleased I ve come across this great share to see Barbara Lynn performing is such a treat .
This show was superb .
Gatemouth Brown doing an unbelievably incongruous bluegrass violin number .....oh my days ...
Barbara Lynn - You'll Lose A Good Thing !!!That's what I'm talking about !
Barbara Lynn is so deliciously, fine!

Yes u are...how 'bout sharing...@1080p...?
Barbara Lynn - "You'll Lose A Good Thing" and The Kelly Brothers - "I'm Falling In Love Again" I love these 2 songs from this clip back in 1966 !
What, me worry?

KELLY BROTHERS LOOKIN' SHARP IN THEM SUITS!
Damn! She got bluesy soul! Loved it! 😂
BARBARA LYNN! WONDERFUL!
Just fantastic Rachel. Keep on keeping on from across the pond.
You are the best, americans black people !
I came here for Barbara Lynn. She puts me in a trance!
I hope you don't listen to her when you're driving!
@@kevdean9967 Thank you for a good chuckle this morning. I shall be mindful of Barbara's effect on me whilst driving. ♥️
Kelly brothers--good church-raised voices! These young singers don't have the same style as they had back then.
They're down south guys Mississippi
Absolument fabuleux! :)
Hoss-man Allen--I used to listen to him on WLAC in Nashville. Great announcer voice.
I really like the sound of electric guitars.
thanks so much for posting theses shows ..i have been going through them ..some amazing performers
Hello there, Thank you for the kind comment, glad you have enjoyed watching them :)
For the guitar enthusiasts like me, take a look at this: besides playing left-handed, she plays with only a few picks on her fingers and her hand. I call that real guitar talent. I must admit I tend to switch to a pick sometimes when strumming. but she doesn't want to know of this. Respect!
In NY. they called this show THE RHIENGOLD BEAT.
"Gatemouth" Brown!
super talented on multiple instruments!
That bro on guitar with Barbara is / was one bad dude, - hey little little I’ll play my fiddle, got nothing to lose playing that grand ole opry, rollover chuck berry and you country players, this guy’s in town. Incredible! ❤👍👍👍
That's Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown... a true legend
Thanks for posting these videos. Who knew that all the stuff existed. Takes me back to my youth.
massa a primeira musica, meu pai tocava no violão
Okay, I don't know math very well but I think this is probably more like 16000 likes because each act is worth a like on its oen-- if not more. So fantastic! TY
the beat great show,some greats on the show,barbara lynn excellent
Great find. I don't even remember this show, although I have found individual Barbara Lynn songs apparently from it.
Wow...your name, my Uncle is a Blues Man and his name is Johnny Drummer....& the twist is, he's 1st cousin to The Kelly Brothers, yep! The Kelly Brothers are my relatives.

wonderful history lesson the beat my first time seeing it i know gate mouth brown children in okc.
Barbara Lynn sounds even better live than the on the album performing “You’ll Lose A Good Thing”
I totally agree you with Barbara Lynne …she really sounds great here. This is a spectacular show. A really treasure to hear folks who can really perform.
She's really cool

Hot damn! Even in 2021, this rocks the party, & when she sings, my goodness! Sexy so much we here in New Zealand can't get enough!
I remember this show in St.Louis ,it came on TV late at night on Saturday it was great!!!!!!! It was the first time I saw Me. Freddy King !!
Was it on Channel 11 or 30?
Apparently this was a national syndicated program...it came on at Friday at midnight in Memphis
Barbara tearin' it up!
Wow! These shows are great. Still getting through them. It would be awesome if someone made a playlist of all the episodes :)
Hello, Thanks for the kind comment and there is someone who has done a playlist in the correct order too :) The !!!! Beat (TV Program) # Show 1
Long before Soul Train this was 1966 Nashville, TN ! When you actually had to have talent to appear on television.
So glad I met Clarence Gatemouth before he passed. Hoping to eventually catch up with Barbara Lynn too. So much talent on this show!
Check out this band!!And it is live! Wow! You lose a good thing was a big hit with my older.siblings . She is great! Singing and she is it to that guitar!😎😎

Wow....used to watch this every Friday night
Ela é sensacional. Além de canhota como Jimi Hendrix tocava sem palheta.
Billy Cox, later with Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsies, was Ms. Lynn's bassist and so that is likely him we see here.
THESE ARE GREAT, RACHEL! I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I HAD NO IDEA THIS AMAZING SHOW EXISTED..( BUT! I WAS BORN IN 1966...SO....)! Much LOVE and MAD RESPECT FROM NEW ORLEANS BABY! ^..^

Bought all 6 volumes from Bear Records in Germany!
This is magnificent, The tragedy is that we have come from this in 66 to 2019 and mumble rap

Every episode of this show rules.
Wow just wow
When talent mattered more than gimmick. Nothing to make you sound better cause you didn't need it.
Fabulous show all through but hell, if Barbara Lynn doesn't bat the ball out of the park. WOW...!
Man I never saw this show before a week ago and I grew up watching soul train so I have to say I love this show from back in the 60s
HOSS! And Barbara, too!

this Barbara chick is the coolest!!!
One more time please Barbara Lynn! Why couldn't we just freeze time to 1966 ?
