Sh-Boom -The Explosion of Rockin Roll 1953-1968 by Clay Cole by Los Toros

2

The Clay Cole Show (1960's TV)

The Clay Cole Show (1959–1968) was a music television show based in New York that seemed

to be quite innovative but didn't really garner as much praise as say 'American

Bandstand'.

The show had a few variations in name and when the original station that broadcast it

(WNTA-TV) was sold in 1963, it moved over onto WPIX-TV.

There it lasted for another 6 years and helped usher in the 'British Invasion' (I believe

that the Who and Rolling Stones made their US TV debuts on the show).

BUT IN ADDITION ........ the show staged a full 1 hour long Motown Special that was said

to be quite groundbreaking at the time (for US TV).

When Clay Cole took a break from presenting the show (to have a short holiday) recording

artists such as Skip Cunningham were brought in as replacement hosts (August 65). Clay

didn't like the way pop music was going by 68 and so quit the show. It seems that just

about all the tapes were wiped many years ago, so little evidence remains today of its

content.

Clay Cole, off the back of his DJing & TV show, got to appear in a film and had some 45's

out .....

He was also MC for a week long package put on at the Apollo Theatre in 1961 .... this

starring Chubby Checker, the Drifters, the Isley Bros & more.

Clay Cole had started out as a child actor before getting into DJing & MCing.

He quit the show in December 1967, disillusioned with the way pop music was going. He

handed over to a new host and it became 'the Peter Martin Show'.

Done some more checking on-line & it seems likely that the Motown Special was screened

around February 1967. Cole & his TV crew were due to visit Detroit to film interviews with

Motown execs & artists that January ........

The usual format of his show was to have 5 or so live acts on and break up their

performances with shots of kids dancing in the studio to some of the latest records.

I guess that for the Motown Special, some live acts were in the NY studio, Motown 45 cuts

were played off records for the studio dancers and taped footage from the Detroit visit

was also used.

Pity that a copy of that show doesn't seem to still exist.

The Clay Cole Motown show had appearances by The Temptations, The Marvelettes, Chris

Clark, R.Dean Taylor . and I cannot remember who else.I recall seeing Flo Ballard solo on

the show but cannot recall if it was Peter Martin or Clay Cole hosting at the time.Tammi

Terrell also appeared solo at one pointI wish there were tapes available

here's a list of some of the shows from 64-67, i posted on the old forum, enjoy!

Thanks for that great list, CM. Wow...they are some rare artists listed on there that I

didn't know appeared on Clay's show like Helena Ferguson and one of my favs, Laura Nyro. I

see that many Motown artists appeared on his show throughout 1967 - from Chris Clark to

Tammi Terrell to R. Dean Taylor. What a shame that those tapes were destroyed. , ,

It was on Clay Cole that the Rolling Stones made their American TV debut. Too bad these

tapes are gone.

Have you ever noticed how frequently our speech is peppered with euphemisms of food?

For example, "salty speech," "you drive me bananas," "everything is peachy," "cheesy," or "nuttier than a fruitcake" are all dietary examples which we cook up to convey how we feel, or what we think.

Yes, it may be hard to swallow, but we talk about food more often than we may realize. Sometimes, our language is tasteless, even over done, and when that happens, we often say that we're burnt, over over done. Sometimes also, we're even crabby, or raw. And then, we may find ourselves walking on eggshells, but only after we realize we have egg on our face. Yes, whether our speech patterns are spicy, or bland, we're bound to squash whatever opportunity arises to abandon such picturesque speech, and continue to rely upon a semi-synesthetic experience and do the one thing we cannot tolerate, and pucker up like we've eaten a green persimmon.

We like to stir the pot, but realize that too many cooks spoil the broth. So again, whether we're sweet as honey, or sour as a lemon, we'll always use food analogies to blanch our speech, even if its just a pinch. After all, we do love to ham it up. Let's milk that cow for all it's worth, shall we? Don't chicken out, now! Would I give you a bum steer?

The wild goose chase & fishing expedition are two potential sources of good food. And who hasn't turned beet red with embarrassment at a corny saying? But it's all hashed over, by now. And let's not forget the celebrity roast! You know that you can't have your cake, and eat it too, you rascal you! If you did, you'd have pie all over your face. But would it be humble pie? And that, my friends, is a hard-boiled truth.

And let's not forget the half-baked ideas that include getting fried. You'd surely be in a pickle if you are that stewed! But then, that's quite different than stewing over it, which is quite similar to ruminating on it. Those are all unpalatable ideas.

What is it that our brains seem to have by linking food to actions or behaviors? It scrambles my brains to imagine the possibilities. My cup literally "runneth over."

A dash of this, a dash of that, mix thoroughly, bake 20 minutes and VOILA! You're done! But his eyes had a glazed-over look after coffee. Have you ever seen soil that wouldn't percolate?

Batter up!

Who doesn't enjoy baseball?

It's often boiling hot when the games are played. Of course, you may think this all a bunch of baloney, but balogna never tasted better, did it? We joke and ask "orange you glad?" And when things are really messed up, we say they were turned into hamburger. But that's the way the cookie crumbles, eh? At least that's what Cookie said.

Now the women... well, if they're sassy and young, they're said to be tarts.

Again, that's what Muffin said.

And Shug? Well, Honey and Sweetie are both friends of theirs!

Am I waxing eloquent, or merely being stale, like a crusty old piece of bread?

Were you aware some professional sports teams are named after foods? The minor league baseball team Montgomery Biscuits are one example. But finding more examples is no cake walk. In fact, it's no piece of cake at all.

What about songs?

Who could forget Bony Maroni? She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni.

All of this is a fine kettle of fish, don't you agree? And everyone knows that you can't unscramble eggs.

These things are truly nothing new, for even the writers of the Epistles used such terms to illustrate their teachings. In Colossians 4:6, the Apostle Paul, along with Timothy, wrote, "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." And the phrase "boil in oil, and stew in lye" - while it was most certainly a reference to a torture technique, albeit first as a cooking technique.

And while a grubstake is defined as "supplies or funds furnished a mining prospector on promise of a share in his discoveries," and a grub is the larvae of an insect, especially a beetle, it's also a term colloquially used to refer to food.

Sometimes, the word is sometimes misspelled as grubsteak.

The discussion of the origins & derivations of that word could be a very meaty subject, I'm certain. Whether or not there's a bone to pick, or meat on the bones of that subject, remains to be seen. I wouldn't rib you about that!

Have you ever wondered why Chubby Checker didn't do a Cinnamon Twist along with "The Peppermint Twist"?

And yet, for all our talk about food, it's amazing how few songs there are about food.

If you include the 1959 novelty song "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour (On the Bedpost Overnight?)," there may be less than a couple hundred songs specifically written about food, or which use food imagery. One of the most popularly renown may be the Jimmy Buffet hit "Cheeseburger in Paradise."

There's also "Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie" performed by Jay and the Techniques, along with "American Pie" by Don McLean, "A Taste of Honey" by Herb Alpert, "Blueberry Hill" by Fats Domino, "Bread and Butter" by The Newbeats, "Brown Sugar" by the Rolling Stones, "Ice Cream Man" by Van Halen, "Tupelo Honey" by Van Morrison, and others.

Of course, there are numerous songs about drinking, or more accurately, about the things people do or say while in a state of inebriation, or intoxication. But those are specifically differentiated from songs about, or mentioning food, or cooking.

And for the sky watchers & weather aware, who could forget "lenticular clouds," which are so named after lentils, a flat, oval-shaped bean? It may all be corny, pure corn pone, or gritty. But one thing's for certain, it's plum good!
