@@jehobden yeah…I thought the same thing just recently after the passing of Bob McGrath (of Sesame Street) and saw clips of him with Sing Along With Mitch. It is a very specific choral sound.
Adam West was very talented. Singing and performing with Roy Rogers and his wife Dayle Evans. Adam made it look easy onstage singing. All 3 actors/ performers are gone now. But I will certainly never forget them! May all 3 of their souls continue on!
In 1966 l was 6 and my friends and l all were in love with Batman. And he could sing and not look cheesy in that silly costume. These were great days! Loving The Hollywood Palace. 😉
This was a great hour of entertainment, then and now! Adam West singing with Roy and Dale. First I've seen of the gorgeous Joey Heatherton in years. The Batman number was fun too!.
All of the acts were great. Adam West was an excellent host. Ray Charles and his orchestra and backup singers, were stupendous! Danny Sailor elevated my fear of heights while watching him stand on top of a high rise telephone pole...doing one legged squats!!
Great stuff! I loved 'Batman' growing up; I was 10 when it premeired. Adam West was quite the song and dance man! This may be the closest thing we'll ever see to a 'Batman' musical. Thanks for posting this.
Que buen programa que calidad que equipos usan desde la camara al microfono Que bueno es el ventrilucuo y ni habar del equilibrista .- perfecto el show que calidad hoy en dia no hay programas asi
Wonderful offering in this series. I vaguely remembering it at age 14. Part vaudeville, part variety, part circus. This particular one was exceptional. The Ray Charles set was especially superb --- great song choices.
RAY CHARLES WAS INCREDIBLE >.. even on Heroin (when this was recorded i believe he was still on Heroin) that man was a human musical instrument, amazing im speechless .. blown away ..
George Carlin's Indian Sergeant, Adam West singing, Ventriloquists from France, a high pole act, Ray Charles in his prime and Roy and Dale Rogers! Even the commercials are a HOOT! DIET Fruit! Soft Spread margarine! Cigarettes! This was great! TO THE BATMOBILE!
Dale had a sordid early life, but became religious later and changed. Because of Roy or Religion? I do not know. I am agnostic. I saw both of them in person as a five year old at the Houston Rodeo in 1963.
Big respect to the fitness of Adam West - in his early 40's at this time.....check his landing at the beginning.......that's why he's so spritely to this day in his early 80's. Wikiiiiid !
thecooooolcat Thanks for correcting my foolishness. He wasn't an old, early 40's guy, he was just a mere child of 37.....heh!heh! I joke, but big respect for your info. Thanks.
Oh yes you do. Stay tuned ;) You'll know it when you see it. Support it with ratings and be sure to support its advertisers. That's how the shows can afford Local 802 live musicians. Keep that in your mind, and watch it when it comes. Just stay tuned :)
***** hey... I sure hope you are right... and can I ask where to stay tuned too... direct me to where I can see something current such as this gem... I would so appreciate it... thx...
Couldn't PM you. I can't discuss it in detail, but a new TV network is producing new shows made to look and sound like 1960s and 1970's shows. They have a variety show and are auditioning orchestras to perform the cues live. You'll know it when you see it. They have letter X in their corporation name. 2017 launch nationwide.
Very interesting fact that Burt Ward (Robin) had also recorded "Orange Coloured Sky". It was a B-side to "Boy Wonder I Love You" both songs produced by none other than Frank Zappa! Look it up here on UA-cam!
This was pure Batmania,1966! ABC's superior "THE HOLLYWOOD PALACE" variety series,the finest of its kind,also played a heavy hand promoting ABC's "BATMAN",and i'm rather disappointed that the Warner Home Video DVD release of the BluRay series didn't include Batman's appearances on this vintage ABC series-this would've been the ultimate testiment of Batman's impact in 1966,even on the very network that originated the series!
+Bachagaloop Jones -- And we didn't have to see or hear that filthy language back then like the English language was made that way, F F F every other word.... people had class and some morals.
Did you recognize that familiar deep voice in the Dutch Masters opening ad? The guy who sang, "There are smiles that have a tender meaning". He's Thurl Ravenscroft, the voice of Tony the Tiger, among other voiceovers. Great show! Always loved to watch Hollywood Palace. Haven't seen this one since first-run. Thanx so very much for sharing this little treasure! So great that you included the original ads. It helps with the nostalgia trip. It's greatly appreciated that you share the full show with us. Clips are fun, but being able to see the entire show again is just sooooo wonderful! More, please? Thanx muchly for all you do!
The Hollywood Palace is now called the Avalon Theater. Rock acts perform there. The theater is across Vine Street from Capital Records. The Capital Records building can be seen in the segment featuring the man on the log.
Before this tv theater taped :"The Hollywood Palace" and other shows for ABC TV..it was a legitimate Theater..later it became a radio theater and then..it became:"The El Capitan TV Theater"..where NBC TV aired live shows like:"The Colgate Comedy Hour","The Pinky Lee Show" and "This Is Your Life".
@@kevinbutler1126, I think part of it was especially refurbished for the Jerry Lewis show which the HP replaced in '64.. Jerry's show which was half show and half telethon was two hours long..and it bombed..
What a moment in entertainment history. Almost the same day as this was recorded, the Beatles were beginning their last tour of the U.S. Seemed entertainment and music changed in a huge way after this. Roy Rogers and Ray Charles on the same bill?
" Dutch Masters" that was a great one!! @ 10:00 ..wow, Joey was fine and what a voice & moves too!! Class act entertainment!! I was just 3 years old when this aired....Beautiful time of life!! A young Carlin too! @ 22:10..The great Ray Charles! Wow, Jamie Foxx looked JUST like him here at this stage in Ray's life! Plus his talent, he got that "Oscar" for a reason!
First spot for Dutchmasters, second guy, singing, from the right=THURL RAVENSCROFT, Tony the Tiger and the singing narrator of the "Grinch That Stole Christmas"= unmistakeable voice..
Thurl Ravenscroft, voice of Tony the Tiger, The Grinch singer, etc, the third from the right and in front on The Dutch Masters single spot right off the bat.
As was shown in a clip during Michael Keaton's last appearance on David Letterman, Keaton and Letterman were once part of the singing and dancing cast of Mary Tyler Moore's variety show, though it was unclear if the chorus boys could really sing or were lip-syncing.
Producer Nick Vanoff began his early career as a dancer, performing on Broadway & in TV…reason for booking performers with dancers in their act…also hiring choreographers…
Didn't Know Batman could sing RIP AW!!! Ray Charles was excellent and I noticed that Mary ( documentary about background singers) was in this footage as one of the Raelettes. Joey H. was always on TV when I was child and suddenly disappeared off the face of the earth. My dad was a big fan of Roy Rodgers and Dale Evans, they seemed like really nice people! Who didn't like the show Batman?? The best episode was the one between Batman/Robin and Green Hornet/Kato!!! I am sorry but Kato was whipping Robin's behind in those fight scenes!
This the ABC-TV i grew-up watching,decades before Disney ruined this network with crap like "DANCING WITH THE STARS" and "MODERN FAMILY"-garbage!! "THE HOLLYWOOD PALACE" was the norm and heart of the variety series,and the best of its kind,to ever grace TV-and really people,,THIS is what REAL TV was all about!!
Gray skies are gonna clear up, Put on a happy face; Brush off the clouds and cheer up, Put on a happy face. Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy, It's not your style; You'll look so good that you'll be glad Ya' decide to smile! Pick out a pleasant outlook, Stick out that noble chin; Wipe off that "full of doubt" look, Slap on a happy grin! And spread sunshine all over the place, Just put on a happy face! Put on a happy face Put on a happy face And if you're feeling cross and bitterish Don't sit and whine Think of banana split and licorice And you'll feel fine I knew a girl so gloomy She'd never laugh or sing She wouldn't listen to me Now she's a mean old thing So spread sunshine all over the place And put on a happy, happy face Put on a happy, happy, happy face Oh, come on bubby, smile its your birthday
Today, Mr. West passed into eternity at age 88, from leukemia. Before his death, there were four survivors from the *BATMAN* show: Mr West, Burt Ward, Lee Merriwether, and Julie Newmar; now, they're down to just a family of three.
This is amazing... it doesn't get much campier than Batman doing a show-stopping number with a bunch of dancers dressed like something out of Austin Powers. ...Unless it's a group of men in leather doing a Fosse routine with a leggy blonde. :-)
Cool show. George Carlin not swearing?! Ray Charles was great. Alexander's Rag Time Band was a little fast but the other numbers were spot on in my opinion.
Although both will be classy mum on this, I would not be surprised if Joey and Adam enjoyed some quality time together after this broadcast. Some things even Batman cannot resist.
I too miss variety shows of this type. They should at least try to do new ones. I know there wouldn't be many of the greats left to appear on them but some of the newer people can do some acting.
Rest in Peace Mr. Adam West. You were a true class act and a talent, you will be missed.
Great person
Thanks for posting that. Adam West was a great host. I wish there were shows like this now. But I am not sure we really have the talent pool anymore.
What a time capsule! I gotta say that Dutch Masters commercial is somehow one of the most psychedelic things I’ve ever seen.
Their opening commercial reminds of SING ALONG WITH MITCH.
@@jehobden yeah…I thought the same thing just recently after the passing of Bob McGrath (of Sesame Street) and saw clips of him with Sing Along With Mitch. It is a very specific choral sound.
There won t be another show like this again with the star power it presented each week made it number 1 in its time slot.

50 long years ago! Wow what a classic era! I was only 3 in 1966. Blessings!
And now I have a crush on Cyborg
He really is honoured to be the host, and gets along so well with the guests. His respect for Ray Charles is so genuine...
Always loved to watch and hear Ray Charles.
The announcer, Dick Tufeld, was the voice of the robot from Lost in Space. "Danger, danger!
This was a great hour of entertainment, then and now! Adam West singing with Roy and Dale. First I've seen of the gorgeous Joey Heatherton in years. The Batman number was fun too!.
Rest in peace dear Adam you will always be remembered. Goodnight godbless you sir . From Michael from Yorkshire and proud of it .
All of the acts were great. Adam West was an excellent host. Ray Charles and his orchestra and backup singers, were stupendous! Danny Sailor elevated my fear of heights while watching him stand on top of a high rise telephone pole...doing one legged squats!!
This is genius, Adam is awesome!
A funky show to boot (funky as in happenin', y'know fresh, and all that jazz, see, yeah!)
A thank you from Hollywood for keeping this show's memory alive
the commercials take me back as much as the show.

They just don’t make entertainers like this anymore but I’m grateful to have grown up in this era. This Saturday weekly Show on abc was great.

Adam West had true talent...And he could sing!
They are all great, but Roy Rogers and Dale Evans are more than special.. They lived their lives off screen as the same as on screen..
+Karen Davis Absolute class all the way!
Dale had a sordid early life, but became religious later and changed. Because of Roy or Religion? I do not know. I am agnostic.

Ray Charles and his band were smokin' hot!!!!
So was Joey Heatherton..
It’s always such a joy to watch Joey Heatherton dancing. This episode includes a great song by her at 10:00
Not as hot as her sis Lola Heatherton from SCTV..she wants to bare all your children, a hah ha..

Wow mate great tip Big Frank
Batman fan
RIP Adam West, Ray Charles
Adam just oozes charm, then and now !
Ray Charles musicians & female singers were his own personal musical group/family
All of the musical HPalace material was new arrangements and orchestrations--! Except Ray Charles-!
color video taping in outdoor look amazing for 1966

Adam West was sooo handsome!
wow ! is there no end to this guys talent !! lol !
Roy Rogers was quite an accomplished bootmaker, and made most of his own boots.
He facilitated gambling?..
Oh, bootmaker..gotcha.
Back when "Entertainment" actually entertained!
What a great idea..
...thanks very much for uploading this gem.
Great to hear William Schallert on the Chiffon Margarine commercial.
Adam was cool as hell. He paved the way for Keaton & Bale & he is still going strong in his eighties.
+Bachagaloop Jones -- And we didn't have to see or hear that filthy language back then like the English language was made that way, F F F every other word.... people had class and some morals.

What ever happened to "Variety Shows"!!!???? these shows were so GOOD!!!!! this is a great video, with commercials, too!

Yes! Ray Charles, Joey Heatherton, George Carlin, Roy and Dale, Adam West. Awesome lineup!
They still exist..disguised as talent shows and singing competitions, wink wink..
only geezers watched them

Slow to get going but very well done !! Thanks for taking the time to upload this,lovely memories of bygone days !!
Funny how George Carlin ended up sounding like the Indian sergeant he was imitating here
This was a treat
I remember watching this as a 7 year old.
Adam West sounds and sing almost exactly like Kelsey Grammer. 😁
Batman singing.
That's something new.
I guess Adam West is the only Batman who can sing
Nurhadaina Daina Zowoe, you forgot Val Kilmer, one of the theatrical Batmans.
and Kevin Conroy sang in a Justice League episode.
As was shown in a clip during Michael Keaton's last appearance on David Letterman, Keaton and Letterman were once part of the singing and dancing cast of Mary Tyler Moore's variety show, though it was unclear if the chorus boys could really sing or were lip-syncing.
I Was 5 Years Old, At That Time!
Dang that BATMAN costume oozed all kinds of cheese and that performance! 😂
Adam West sang “live” - no lip cync..!
rip Adam West
The parody of orange colord sky lol
RIP ADAM WEST
Producer Nick Vanoff began his early career as a dancer, performing on Broadway & in TV…reason for booking performers with dancers in their act…also hiring choreographers…
wow, the gold ages
Adam West is awesome………
He could have been an even better singer - his voice is naturally inclined that way.....just talking, it sounds melodic.
i had to beg my dad to let me stay up past 9pm so i could watch Batman guest appearance .
Nine pm., even on Saturday nites?
Adam West starred in the last 3 stooges motion picture "the outlaws are comin"
That's "The Outlaws IS Coming". Saw it on TV recently.
Didn't Know Batman could sing RIP AW!!!

Put on a happy face

This is amazing... it doesn't get much campier than Batman doing a show-stopping number with a bunch of dancers dressed like something out of Austin Powers.
