Wayne Newton(?) and Channel 13 "Soul"

TV Time- They had an old Jack Benny episode with Wayne Newton swinging his ass off on a ridiculously uptempo version of "Falling in Love with Love". He sounded like Dinah Washington!

Then he did some hokey Al Jolson thing, but he played the trumpet, violin and banjo pretty well.

Who knew?

On WNET, they featured a retrospective of some of their old programs, and they showed a few excerpts from the program "Soul" from the 70s.

There were some good R&B acts, and then they had The Max Roach Quintet playing.

I know I saw Roland Kirk destroy a chair on one episode, but were there any other jazz things anyone remembers?
