Rodgers And Hart Today (1967)

Stars:

Count Basie and His Orchestra, Petula Clark, Bobby Darin

In 1967, bridging the generation gap often resulted in strange bedfellows...think Frank Sinatra doing the Twist..stuff like that. Anyway, this is a tribute to the music of Rodgers and Hart, featuring Bobby Darin as host/performer, and sharing this non-stop variety show included The Mamas and The Papas, The Supremes, Petula Clark, Count Basie, Peter Gennaro and the Doodletown Pipers. Music of "the parents era" performed by somewhat "contemporary" artists so as to appeal to "the teens" as well as Mom and Dad. A thrill for Darin fans to see Bobby as front man, doing a number with Diana Ross and the girls.
