September 13, 1967 - May 12, 1971
The 1967 version of The Kraft Music Hall lasted four seasons. It was hosted by a guest celebrity each week, accept during the summer of 1969 when Tony Sandler and Ralph Young cohosted it. Don Ho hosted the show during the latter weeks of the summer of 1969.
On this sixth broadcast of the series, host Lorne Greene opens a musical scrapbook of the Old West with guests Lou Rawls, Jerry Van Dyke, Barbara Eden, Booby Van and the Baja Marimba Band.
Music and dancing recall such colorful Western characters as Calamity jane, Billy the Kid and Buffalo Bill. Comedy sketches recall the infamous medicine men, saloon keepers, schoolmarms and other figures who populate the myths and memories of Western folk lore.
