Music Scene: The Best of 1969-1970, Vol. 5 (1999)
Synopsis of Music Scene: The Best of 1969-1970, Vol. 5
Hosted by standup comedian David Steinberg, ABC television's Music Scene was a unique, eclectic, and never-equaled program that the network canceled after scarcely half a season. It aired prime time on Tuesday nights and ran an unusual slot-time of 45 minutes (paired with Aaron Spelling's 45-minute dramatic series The New People, about hip college kids stranded on an island). Music Scene regulars included Lily Tomlin and Larry Hankin. This fifth episode in the video release of the series features James Brown performing "World," Buck Owens singing "Tall Dark Stranger," Oliver singing "Jean," Tom Jones performing "I'll Never Fall in Love Again", the Beatles doing "The Ballad of John & Yoko" and "Give Peace a Chance," Mary Hopkin performing "In My Life," Joe Cocker singing "Delta Lady," and Lou Rawls doing "I Can't Make It Alone" and "Just Squeeze Me." Each week's musical guest line-up was based on Billboard Magazine's hit-record charts, so these episodes provide priceless television performances by virtually every major music star from the time, whether they worked in rock, country, soul, folk, or pop. Steinberg went on to become a successful television director. ~ Steve Blackburn, Rovi
