When this show aired on 12/31/55 I had just turned 14 and my family had listened to Your Hit Parade on the radio from as far back as I could remember and had recently got our first tv. I still enjoyed the songs of the time but Rock And Roll had come onto the scene and it was here to stay. By the time we were into the mid-sixties, I was looking for oldies stations.
Your Hit Parade, in our home, was a must to watch each week. I remember going into New York City, to NBC Studios as a child. We listened to the rehearsal, and Gisele McKenzie was singing. I was so excited, even though we just heard her, but didn't see the performance.
I had just turned 12 when this was first aired and I had such a crush on Dorothy Collins. Some songs stayed at the top of the list for weeks really stressing the creativity of how to stage them. How many different scenarios could you come up with for "This Ol' House"?

21:40 - Here's the "Showstopper" with Gisele MacKenzie doing "Rise and Shine" (no, not The Flintstones Rise and Shine...)

Nice Job! After watching and listening to this I sure can go for a toasted tobacco Lucky Strike and an egg shampoo.
You like your shampoo over easy...I'm scrambled.
