60 YEARS AGO TODAY:
5/5/65 – Tonight, “Shindig!” devotes its entire broadcast to
the music of Elvis Presley. Glen Campbell performs “A Big Hunk O' Love,” "Trouble" and "Surrender" ... Linda
Gail Lewis does “Don't Be Cruel” and “Crying In The Chapel” and Sonny and Cher
sing “All Shook Up,” "I Got Stung," "Teddy Bear" and "Treat Me Nice." (Cher also performs "Wooden Heart.")
The Isley Brothers rock out on "Hard Headed Woman" while The Chambers Brothers perform "Jailhouse Rock" ... Ray Peterson "Can't Help Falling in Love," "It's Now or Never" and "Heartbreak Hotel" ... and Delaney Bramlett does a killer version of Elvis' first recording, "That's Alright Mama."
