A rare and unique amateur audio recording (3:08) of a telephone conversation with Stan Laurel between 21 year old Richard Sloan and Laurel, who discusses the 700 get well letters he has recently received, the Freedom Riders Civil Rights movement, how he and Oliver Hardy came to create their iconic wardrobe, and his thoughts on the Beatles.
NOTE: This was the second time that Richard Sloan appeared on The Joe Franklin Show, the first broadcast on April 22, 1964.
The three telephone conversations Richard recorded talking with Stan Laurel occurred May 23, 1961, September 8, 1963 and July 1964, totaling approximately 26 minutes of peerless camaraderie.
