PopSpot

PopSpot was a 10-minute show which aired from October 1964 to March 1965. It featured one group per week performing three songs. Here are two episodes with Manfred Mann and Dusty Springfield.

Both Sides Now, Judy Collins, 1967 (written by Joni Mitchell)

Boomtown tv show

If you were a kid living in the Boston area between 1956-1974, then you probably watched Boomtown hosted by the beloved Rex Trailer. What I recall most was the theme song Hoofbeats and how the audience entered the studio waving to Hey Look Me Over with some in their Cub Scout and Brownie uniforms. At Halloween the kids wore costumes.

Hey Look Me Over, Ronnie Hilton, 1961
This tune is from the 1960 musical Wildcat starring Lucille Ball.
