You can never tell a persons character from TV appearances... If you had a tv camera on you and knew there would be thousands of people watching... would you be arrogant? Manners and character are two different things.
@@brett6905 Have you ever watched some of the contestants on American Idol before they have even made it to the top 12? Talk about arrogance. One of the judges even commented that some of them are already cocky and act like the show wouldn't exist without them. Frankie comes from a different time. Manners were more in fashion than now.
@@annchovey2089 Sure we can agree manners in public were more fashionable. People knew in order to be on TV back then they had to have a certain image and behave a certain way.. The culture has always been manipulated by the money-printing class to benefit themselves.

I would say they are probably more obnoxious to get on TV these days... No matter what kind of person you truly are most people have different personas in different places.

That really does come across in this. He used his energy for the benefit of the music, and less for his own personal uplift. And this duo with Groucho - that is priceless!
This episode is properly #11.35. Yes, the decorum of Frankie Avalon and Joyce De Hart takes us back to a time before the destruction of the family, modesty and charm. How grateful I am to be a part of that generation.
So I was on a night flight back from Hawaii and FA sat at the window next to me. We said nothing to each other, both sleeping most of the flight. Arrived LA after daylight and he opened the window shade and there was an island in view. He got a little excited and said: "Hey, what is that?" I said... "Catalina Island... maybe you have heard of AVALON Bay?" I got a strange laugh from him. That was our only exchange.
@VAcreeper2000 I looked that up, and --remarkably-- the story checks out. There's even a song written about her ("Woke Up Next to a Dead Hippie Whore" by David Allan Coe). Rest In Power, Joyce!
@Paul Bradford Not sure what's more shocking, that you can’t imagine Coe singing a song like that, or that you thought VAcreeper or I could be serious. Coe definitely sang nastier songs than that, and yes, sorry for trolling to confusion.
I don't know how many people are familiar with it, and it isn't talked about much, but around this time, Frankie Avalon was in a killer Ray Milland film called "Panic in Year Zero," where he plays Milland's son, and with Mom and sister, are on the road going on a camping trip, when California/Los Angeles is hit with nukes. A chilling movie, and Frankie does a good job in it with Milland.
These Groucho video's are very addicting to visit, he is really hilarious, I was a kid when I first saw this on tv, but I realize the bulk of it went right over my head.
During the famous Dick Cavett interview, Groucho says, "I'm an incongruity. I really don't belong in this time, today." He was referring to the cultural and social changes he had seen over his lifetime. Well I feel the same. I'd prefer to review these old shows than most things that pass for entertainment today. I suppse that's a product of getting older, something else Groucho implied in his comment. Be that as it may, I'll go to my grave with Groucho, God willing. Thanks for putting these together for us.
No, going to your grave is a product of getting older, as Groucho said, I'm an incongruity. I really don't belong in this product, today. Genius Groucho Marx, genius Robert Ewing, genius Prem Rawat. And thanks DH for putting these together for us.
The sixties were a first big step in the nightmare we’re wading through today. That’s not to say Groucho grew up in times that were that much better, but at least people had a little more common sense in the early twentieth century. Groucho did lose a lot of money in the stock market scams that led up to the crash of 29, after all.
We know God has a sense of humor because He made man in His own image (Genesis 1:26,27), but He can't be laughing now when looking down on mankind in its present condition. However, the agnostic Mark Twain made an astute observation. He said, "The most singular peculiarity of the Bible is its absence of humor." There are a few funny things in the Bible, like Nathaniel's response to his friend Phillip, who said, 'We have found Him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote about, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.' Nathaniel said to him, 'Can anything good come out of Nazareth?'" (John1:4,46); but none are intentional.
Groucho makes me laugh so much. This was cute. Frankie was so young and kinda shy. I used to love that song. "I Cant Give You Anything But Love." I still have Eddie Fishers record of it. My son who was not originally born in Philly, But lived there for several years, got his first Grammy for producing the record "You Got Me", for the Roots, featuring Erika Badu, out of Phiily. And a couple of other hits made in Philly. I should have watched this show more when i was a kid.
I just ❤️❤️ Groucho Marx!! I could listen to him all day! What nobody knows is, old Frankie boy asked this young lady to dinner after the show 🤣 and they fell in love 🥰😂😂 just kidding! But she is very lovely 😊!
Frankie Avalon, God bless him. Here he's around 20 years of age. Today a belated happy birthday he is now 82 years of age. I didn't know his birthday until I saw it listed below this message. Other singers in this category are Connie Francis and Fabian just to name a few. Actually that's all I can think of that are alive today.
+Crispin Cain I showed the Frankie Avalon segment to my classes not long ago, but because of the girl in Junior Achievement, since I was trying to interest them in JA as a place to get work experience. Naturally, they didn't know who Frankie Avalon is, and the reaction to the show was mixed, but some of the kids seemed to be having a good time watching and laughing at Groucho. If only this generation would discover shows like this they'd discover what real talent (like Groucho) is and how it's possible for a show to be both funny and family-friendly.
We all forget that Groucho spent YEARS dancing (and singing, and doing comedy) on the Vaudeville circuit before he started making movies with his brothers.
@@maryperez1235 I am very to hear that I'm not the only one.... :.) The world today just doesn't have that kind of talent anymore, nor any way of developing it by offering people a way to perfect their craft as entertainers.
This is great. Nice to see, I watched two episodes already, this guy knows how to entertain. He makes fun of Frankie Avalon and the announcer, hilarious. Famous people back then seemed more humble, same ego though. “is it an airplane picture?”... “glug, glug, glug”...
A Dilettante Presumptuous Theorem: Singers back then such as Frankie (now 80 years old in 2019) could be asked to sing on the spot without practising, without a recording studio and without their own particular musicians. Remarkable and outstanding.
wow. Respectful, courteous, manners and modest. What the heck has happened to youth today? Dang!! When talking about money, Frankie shows respect and no hidden faces or arrogance. Even at this age, Frankie was probably a millionaire already. It's true. We're going downhill. Gone downhill? Yep! He can sing. Someone puts their arm around a female like that today, without "written" authorization, will find himself in a courtroom and/or writing a big check.
The culture has always been manipulated by those in power to benefit themselves. Frankie had a carefully crafted image and if he didn't conform to that image at least while he was on TV, he would not have been there. Hollywood has always attracted the same type of people. Narcissists, substance abusers, sexual deviancy, etc... But at this time in American history that image was not allowed on the television. Wholesome behavior was profitable and desirable by the big corporations.
Joyce Dehart is very gracious while being continuously more or less insulted by all the interruptions based on the way she looks. She shows tremendous self confidence and capability. This was the world for women in the U.S. as recently as the 1960s...
Yes,this show aired in 1961,just shortly before American morals started to crumble. Frankie and Miss De Hart did show much class and poise,especially for a beautiful young woman and a great young singer. I sing this song as an amateur singer (age 51) ,and I learned it by watching this video. Does anybody know if Joyce De Hart is still living? May God help our nation and the world to find its moral compass!!!!!!! Richard Rhoden.

And of course our parents & grandparents thought we were awful. Thought Groucho was vulgar. Every generations do this. In the mid 1800’s ladies were judged for showing their ankles. How scandalous!!!!
Funny when watching Frank on here at the beginning of this episode, first thing that popped in my head was "Venus" and that movie "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" (both charmingly romantic songs) and his voice singing away those two hits, and afterwards the girl mention "Venus" as her favorite and Frank stated his current project of being in "Voyage to the...". Ha ha. I'm like "Well, what do you know! How 'bout that:)" ha ha.

+Crispin Cain I showed the Frankie Avalon segment to my classes not long ago, but because of the girl in Junior Achievement, since I was trying to interest them in JA as a place to get work experience. Naturally, they didn't know who Frankie Avalon is, and the reaction to the show was mixed, but some of the kids seemed to be having a good time watching and laughing at Groucho. If only this generation would discover shows like this they'd discover what real talent (like Groucho) is and how it's possible for a show to be both funny and family-friendly.
:)
Class act all the way.
We all forget that Groucho spent YEARS dancing (and singing, and doing comedy) on the Vaudeville circuit before he started making movies with his brothers.
Benjamin Zuckerman I didn’t
@@maryperez1235 I am very to hear that I'm not the only one.... :.) The world today just doesn't have that kind of talent anymore, nor any way of developing it by offering people a way to perfect their craft as entertainers.
Just goes to show what an absolute great showman Groucho was .
Miss Junior Achievement - not your average kid.
Yup; notice how she picked up on selling Frankie's mom's braciole recipe; it's a delicious dish (and so was Frankie, lol).
Frankie was so handsome! He still is!!
Among his many talents, Groucho did a wonderful album of songs for children.
Lon Landis Gee, I fancy myself an avid Groucho fan yet didn’t know that. Thanks...I’ll look into it
What was the name of it?
Frankie Avalon is still a class act after all these years.
no lipsyncing here-lovely young woman
groucho is whip quick and hysterically funny
This is great. Nice to see, I watched two episodes already, this guy knows how to entertain. He makes fun of Frankie Avalon and the announcer, hilarious. Famous people back then seemed more humble, same ego though. “is it an airplane picture?”... “glug, glug, glug”...
For 1961 Joyce was the bomb!
She reminds me of Cybil Shepherd in the Last Picture Show
Wow!!!! Thanks for the memories.
I also love Grocho on you Bet your Life. I always have
All class, and what talent!
Frankie, and Groucho, too of the best ever.
No wonder this series was such a success.
Such classics, impromptu talent at its best. Todays stuff relies on shock value gimmicks - classic times
Frankie Avalon and Harry Ruby in the same episode there's a legend singer and a legend songwriter in the same show
LOVED FRANKIE AVALON. love Groucho Marx
OMG. People must have gone nuts when he started singing. They don't have shows like this anymore fer sher.
I remember Groucho show. Back in those days there was good family entertainment. I am happy that I have lived in the good old days. Happy Memories.
Frankie had a very sublime vibrato in his voice
Wow, what a voice and what a great couple. Unfortunately that talent has been replaced with tattoos, swearing, hip hop and piercings.
Hey man.........shut up
cipherTV you have to shut up, stupid
piercings tattoos and swearing even existed back then, even much much earlier.
it's sorry but true.
After that last move by Groucho and Frankie, they both are under suspicion for sexual abuse 60 some years later.
That Joyce was one bright chick, and a pioneering student.
My favorite moments were every time Groucho called the young woman pretty, she reminded his that she is intelligent and ambitious.
Joyce is so gorgeous!!! wow....
A Dilettante Presumptuous Theorem: Singers back then such as Frankie (now 80 years old in 2019) could be asked to sing on the spot without practising, without a recording studio and without their own particular musicians. Remarkable and outstanding.
Of course, they could refuse. :)
Just great. I was only 3 years old. And still in mexico
Frankie nice guy. Still singing into his 80’s. Hard to believe. Wonder what happened to that beauty next to him. I hope a happy long life.
Such a Handsome man!
The duet was wonderful.
Frankie was already on TV at age 12 playing trumpet. He was not some 'off the street Philly creation' but a hard working lifelong singer and musician.
I noticed how non-PC Groucho was and it's refreshing.
Frankie was a real cute guy and great singer very polite
How wonderfully beautiful x
wow. Respectful, courteous, manners and modest. What the heck has happened to youth today? Dang!! When talking about money, Frankie shows respect and no hidden faces or arrogance. Even at this age, Frankie was probably a millionaire already. It's true. We're going downhill. Gone downhill? Yep! He can sing. Someone puts their arm around a female like that today, without "written" authorization, will find himself in a courtroom and/or writing a big check.
Ask yourself. Who do you think raised the people you criticize?
@@indetif839 In most cases, I would assume the parents.
True talent. I’m proud he’s from Philly.
The culture has always been manipulated by those in power to benefit themselves. Frankie had a carefully crafted image and if he didn't conform to that image at least while he was on TV, he would not have been there.
Hollywood has always attracted the same type of people. Narcissists, substance abusers, sexual deviancy, etc... But at this time in American history that image was not allowed on the television. Wholesome behavior was profitable and desirable by the big corporations.
Frankie has great stage presence
So refreshing!
This was SO SPECIAL!🥰
Joyce Dehart is very gracious while being continuously more or less insulted by all the interruptions based on the way she looks. She shows tremendous self confidence and capability. This was the world for women in the U.S. as recently as the 1960s...
Very true. She's articulating very well what she does and her accomplishments and Groucho says, "Isn't she pretty?".
That certainly was, fun.
Lovely Joyce DeHart is the spitting image of 1950-era Peggy Dow.
just a wonderful young lady
Sad that her life and death were so tragic. See second comment for info
Yes,this show aired in 1961,just shortly before American morals started to crumble. Frankie and Miss De Hart did show much class and poise,especially for a beautiful young woman and a great young singer. I sing this song as an amateur singer (age 51) ,and I learned it by watching this video. Does anybody know if Joyce De Hart is still living? May God help our nation and the world to find its moral compass!!!!!!! Richard Rhoden.
Joe Rhoden Feminism, and liberals have ruint America. Sad.... :(
the truth hurts, ouch!!!!
@@voiceover-impressionist --- There are good and bad Liberals and good and bad Conservatives. Painting everyone at once with such a wide brush does a disservice to many, many innocent people. Don't speak in such wide generalities. Be more specific, using concrete examples and follow that up with suggestions as to how to fix the problem. Those are merely examples of how I approach such issues, and you will start fewer arguments. Have a nice night! :)
And of course our parents & grandparents thought we were awful. Thought Groucho was vulgar. Every generations do this. In the mid 1800’s ladies were judged for showing their ankles. How scandalous!!!!
Groucho moves really good. I think Groucho is around 70 years old here.
Funny when watching Frank on here at the beginning of this episode, first thing that popped in my head was "Venus" and that movie "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" (both charmingly romantic songs) and his voice singing away those two hits, and afterwards the girl mention "Venus" as her favorite and Frank stated his current project of being in "Voyage to the...". Ha ha. I'm like "Well, what do you know! How 'bout that:)" ha ha.
