- After a 2 week engagement at Harrah's Club in the winter wonderland that was Lake Tahoe for Christmas 1965, we hopped on a plane and rang in the new year on the Ed Sullivan show on Jan 2, 1966.
The family performed "When The Saints Go Marchin' In" which was our finale at every live performance for the first 2 years we took our show on the road. We also sang it in the benefits we performed in 1963, 1964 and our 'pilot' special in 1964. Audiences loved this song and would clap and sing along. Seems they just "loved to be in that number..." (these are the jokes, folks!)
We tried admirably to get middle America to clap along with us on "2 and 4" but them white folks are hard pressed to give up their "1 and 3". Seriously... growing up with jazz singers I never knew people ever clapped on 1 and 3 til we hit the road! Yes. At 7 years old.
When real talent mattered..
Just loved the video. Just love the way you keep the memories of your mother in your heart and I'm feel honored you share those memories with us.
On January 2, 1966 I was home inside watching TV that snowy night on my birthday. I'm sure this program was on along with a few other things my family would watch and Sullivan was a weekly event and The King Family was an American staple for TV. What a great performance clip this is with a lively fun rendition of When The Saints Go Marching In. Thanks for posting this rich look back in time which brings back memories of so much more. Please keep posting these wonderful videos.
Cool video Cam

Traditional variety performance

I can't get over how pretty those dresses are :0 I've never seen a more sweet flattering neckline on any other dress before
I enjoyed this video!!! Especially with the New Orleans Saints being in the playoffs!!! GEAUX SAINTS!!!
Hey Cam! Dunno if you'll see this, but I hope you do sample lines from when you did Juji Kabane from Gungrave: Overdose sometime. Live long and happy my man, take care over there!

Xan WAS one cute red head!!
I take it you are one of the 3 little boys at the front i was hoping we'd get a close up see if i could pick you out
King Family trivia question: I read that Marilyn sang as one of the nuns in the Sound of Music soundtrack. Was she a ghost singer for one of the actresses or was she part of the nun's chorus as a background singer?
I was waiting for liquid :(
Jesus. Fucking. Christ. How big is this family!? AND HOW MANY TAKES WAS IT TO GET ALL THAT HARMONIZING? Wow.
