Dad loved that show. Frankie Fontaine was a good singer.

"And AWAY we go....!"

"Mmmmmm, how SWEET it IS !"

I remember his programs "live from Miami Beach, Florida !"

The great June Taylor Dancers always a hit, too.

[19&41]

That clip was from his last year in New York. He took the train (the whole train) to Miami for the next season.

That's interesting about the Great One taking the whole train
to beautiful Miami Beach.

While we're at it, how about some respect ! [: )

Jackie Gleason was a household show when I was growing up. How many of you know what a musical talent Jackie Gleason was. Writer, arranger, and conductor. He also played Theater Organ and Piano.
