Skelton had excellent musical entertainment on his show.I miss variety shows,I would like to see them make a comeback.
I had the pleasure of meeting Bob Crane at Mr William Ludwig's funeral in 1973 in Chicago One classy dude. He was an amazing drummer's drummer. He could site read any arrangement at "twentry feet" and not miss a note. Two of the greatest drummers in the world in the same place and at the same time.
One heck of an artist /musician.
Who would dislike this? Yeah the singing and dancing is corny asf but Bob Crane is amazing.
The girls' singing kind of reminds me of Brazil '66!
Lol I grew up during those days. Much different than today
Bob Crane is amazing
So very talented. A great loss.
He played to his own prerecorded track. No mics on the drums or the girls & where's that band 😁, that's how they did it easy peasy
Must agree with you. Some of the fills didn't match the video.
Do it, Bobby, do it!
Love when Jim says that to Robby on Roadhouse
Note that you can look up the complete Skelton show and see the number in full colour.
Yup! The Red Skelton museum uploaded that episode a couple of years ago, and we're very happy they did! We link to it in our UA-cam "community" section. They had not yet uploaded it when we posted the B&W clip of Bob drumming many years ago.
I always liked Bob Crane. I would love to get my hands on his albums (harder than hen’s teeth to find) so I can really hear his drums in stereo. I was sorry to hear about his death and the grisly manner in which it occurred. Hopefully one day the solution will come out and surprise us all even though it’s been well over 30 years since the crime was committed.
Yessir Mr Crane !!!!
Hogaaaaaannnn!!!!
Today this song is VERY popular with punk and Oi! bands...
Vot es dis man doing ere???!!!!
It would be great to have this audio in better sound quality.
I wonder if Bob Crane considered forming a big band or a jazz combo after Hogan's Heroes ended its run?
Not professionally, but he did continue to play with bands regularly throughout the 1970s, many name bands that he would sit in with while he was traveling across the country starring in theatre productions. He also wrote an ending to Hogan's Heroes, which featured his drumming. It was set post-World War 2, and Werner Klemperer and Robert Clary were on board to costar as their characters. Hogan (on drums), Klink (as Hogan's business manager), and LeBeau (as a singer in the show) were going to perform a variety show, and it was going to open in Las Vegas in 1972. It never came to be, however, because Bob didn't agree with the casino's events manager's rather underhanded terms, so the whole thing was scrapped.
@@vote4bobcrane That would have been an interesting show! Klink did express an interest to visit the United States (Palm Springs where the" frauleins run around in their bathing suits"). I wonder if they considered a TV movie instead - to set it in Atlantic City in the late 1940s. I could understand them wanting it set in contemporary times so period sets, clothing, automobiles, etc. could be avoided. Maybe Major Bonicelli could run into them at Galotti's Pizza Parlor - as a diplomat or military attaché of the Italian Embassy; the tension between him & Klink would have been a subplot!
They could have an hour-long ending episode about Stalag 13 being liberated by the American Army! Imagine, Sgt. Schultz & Cpl. Langenscheidt wake up in the barracks to find the other German troops had deserted the camp. They get dressed & go out to the gate. Schultz & Langenscheidt are scared stiff as a Sherman Tank approaches. The tank's hatch pops open & General Patton - played by George C. Scott - demands to see their leader. Klink is hiding under the desk in his office; Hogan leads Fraulein Hilda into the tunnel for her safety. Langenscheidt gets Hogan to come to the gate. Patton & Hogan then talk Klink into surrendering. A subplot would be to have Burkhalter & Hochstetter flee Berlin together trying to avoid the Americans & Russians while continuing their personal war & suffering mishaps - such as car failure & trying to find civilian clothing!
@@Petemonster62 Yeah why didn't they, such a good idea.
@@timothyball742 - Yes, I wish Hogan's Heroes would have had the last episode with an ending of the series' story that resolved everything!
Is this the original TV series music score or,, a Bob Crane band covering it?
Funny had he played German made Sonor or Trixon. 😃
Too bad the poor guy had to be all be in a suit which makes it very hard to move the arms. A t-shirt would make for better drumming
You could put a "straight jacket" on this guy and he could still blow you away!
This was really a jazz song, and jazz drummers of that era (and earlier) always dressed up.
Lol
