Jack Marshall (lutentist)

Highlights:

Joined  in progress, Jack Jones singing "Lollipops and Roses."
Later he sings "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World."  

Singer of Jazz, Ruth Olay sings one number. It is a rare example of her television guest starring appearances (1957-1963). The song opens with an introduction to a Jazz instrumental with a narrator stating:

"You've got to flip for St. Louis. They got there from cardinals to seals to chimpanzees. Society cats who make the scene at the Chase Hotel. And, the kind of cats who dig back alley joints."

Ruth Olay sings:

"One name that walks right by my door today,
That man, man, walks right by my door today,
No let up. Just get goin' on his way.

Always thinking I can't hold on much more.
I can't hold on much more,
Seems like everyday I love you more than the day before.

You've been gone two years. I hope it ain't a gonna be two years more,
I need lovin bad, I'm keeping' mine in store.

Yea, when you come home I'm gonna lock you up baby like I did before, in a small pad up the California shore. And tell them all you've gone...

And lock this door and throw away the keys."


There are two solo performances by classical guitarist 
Laurindo Almeida, including "Bad and the Beautiful."
 
Impressionist Frank Gorshin imitates Marlon Brando and Boris Karloff. Also, he sings "Mack the Knife."

NOTE: 
THIS AUDIO RECORDING HAS INTERMITTENT  ISSUES. IT IS A VERY DISCERNABLE, RECORDED DIRECT LINE AIR CHECK WITH EXCELLENT CLEAN PLAYBACK TONE AND VOLUME BUT THE OVER 60 YEAR OLD AUDIO TAPE  HAS "CUPPING" ISSUES AND INTERMITTANTLY THE RECORDED PLAYBACK AUDIO PRODUCES A VERY SLIGHT "WOBBLING SOUND EFFECT." 

HOWEVER,  ENJOYABLE LISTENING TO SUCH RARE "UNAVAILABLE" PROGRAMMING.

September 5, 1949-June 7, 1954 (NBC); June 14, 1954-June 16, 1963 (ABC). This was the first broadcast of the season. "Voice of Firestone," which began on radio in 1928, was a Monday-night perennial for more than two decades before coming to television in 1949; for the next five years it was simulcast on NBC radio and television, until a dispute between the sponsor and the network over the Monday time slot led Firestone to shift the program to ABC. The half-hour musical series presented all kinds of music, but emphasized classical and semiclassical selections. Each week a guest celebrity was featured, and for many years the principal guests came from the Metropolitan Opera Company. The Firestone Orchestra was conducted by Howard Barlow, and the show was hosted by John Daly during its years on ABC; Hugh James was the announcer. "Voice of Firestone" was seen as a series of specials from 1959 until 1962; it returned as a weekly series in the fall of 1962 for a final season (September 30, 1962-June 16, 1963).

Reruns were exhumed in the spring of 1966 to replace the faltering 'Sammy Davis Jr. Show.'
