Video Find of the Day
Complete with Mike Wallace pitching for Sealy Posturepedic Matresses, we get an interview with Thurgood Marshall sometime around '57 to '59, the period when Wallace's Night Beat aired only on WABD New York. Marshall is great. After his interview is over at about five minutes, we get 3 and a half minutes of typical Fifties TV ads. Watching them 50 years later feels like an antropologist's field trip.
A version with some of the ads at the end cut out is available on Google Video here.

Keely Smith, Prima, & Butera
Video Finds of the Day
Almost forgotten greats.
Keely Smith and Louis Prima had a great chemistry. He was wired, she was dead-pan, but they worked perfectly together.
This one shows Keely Smith off.
Louis Prima & Keely Smith - All Night Long 1956
This next video has three songs. The first two are sung by Prima. The third is sung by Sam Butera.
Louis Prima & Sam Buterra - Oh Babe -My House- Fever
The last is a super rendition of Night Train by Butera, while Keely Smith looks on unmoved. Priceless. "Embedding disabled" so go see it at YouTube.
