Just a note about variety shows

Although variety shows seem to be a thing of the past, there were a lot of performers that got their starts on different variety shows. And those that were already famous were able to showcase their talents of add veteran stars to a show in order to give the show different flavors.

Personally I find a lot of the reality shows to be getting pretty tired. We live reality every single day. Tv was always a place of escape where you could watch your favorite stars or just get into an hour drama.

Re-dress

During the first set Joey came out in a white dress and then when she came out in the second set she asked the audience how they like her jeans SEE PHOTO

By the way Bob Hope was there two

To me it wasn't that important but Bob Hope was the headliner along with Joey.

Lucky me

As a young man growning up in one of the best generations we experienced many wonderful things. The music, the adventure and a sense of heading down uncharted territory. After all our parents were the Guy Lombardo generation. We were the wild bunch. One of the best birthday presents I ever received was getting to dance on stage with my teen-age heart throb. Joey Heatherton was a show stopper. Any young man who grow up in the 60's and 70' were probably drooling over her. And why not, my dads generation had Rita Hayworth, Ginger Rodgers, and we had Joey Heatherton, Raquel Welch, Lola Falana and Ann Margaret. I hope you enjoy these golden oldie pictures as much as I did participating in them, by the was the date of this show was Nov 7 1977 at the Notre Dame Atheletic and convocation center in South Bend, In
