The Clay Cole Show
Also known as Rate the Records Talent Teens Teen Quiz The Record Wagon [1] Clay Cole's Discotek [2] Network WNTA-TV WPIX -TVRelease September 1959 (1959-09 ) – December 16, 1967 (1967-12-16 )
The Clay Cole Show (1959–1967) was an American rock music television show based in New York City , hosted by Clay Cole .
History [ edit ]
First broadcast on WNTA-TV (now WNET ) in September 1959 as Rate the Records , within two months the format was changed, and an hour-long Saturday-night show was added. In the summer months, the show was expanded to an hour, six nights a week, live from New Jersey's Palisades Amusement Park , where Chubby Checker first performed and danced "The Twist ".[1] [3] In 1963, the show moved to WPIX -TV, where for five years it was successful, thanks to first-time guest appearances of the Rolling Stones (on a program with one other guest act – the Beatles ), Neil Diamond , Dionne Warwick , Simon & Garfunkel , Richie Havens , Tony Orlando , Blood, Sweat & Tears and the Rascals .[1] [2] On the WPIX version's first few months, it was titled Clay Cole at the Moon Bowl and was taped at the Bronx-based amusement park Freedomland U.S.A. . For the first WPIX edition, his guests were Lionel Hampton , Bobby Darin , and Joey Dee and the Starlighters .[4]
In 1965 the show was renamed Clay Cole's Discotek .[2] Clay produced a full hour with just one guest, Tony Bennett . Clay's all-star, ten-day Christmas Show in 1960 at the Brooklyn Paramount Theater holds the all-time box-office record for that theater.[5] [6]
Cole was the first to introduce stand-up comics such as Richard Pryor , George Carlin and Fannie Flagg to a teen audience.[1] [3] He was the first to produce a full hour of all-black performers, his historic Salute to Motown .[1] [3] Unlike other teen music show hosts, Cole danced to the music he played on his shows; he was also unafraid to book lesser-known performers.[1] [3] [7]
In December 1967, at the height of his show's popularity, Cole left the show and moved to then-NBC-owned-and-operated station WKYC in Cleveland. He was reportedly unhappy with the shift in pop music to psychedelic acid rock and heavy metal .[1] [3] The final edition of his program in New York aired on December 16, 1967. He hosted the first half hour, featuring live guests Paul Anka and Bobby Vee and a film performance from the Beatles. In the second half hour, he introduced the host that replaced him on WPIX: Canadian singer Peter Martin .[8]
His memoir of the early years of rock and roll and live television, Sh-Boom ! The Explosion of Rock 'n' Roll (1953-1968) has been published by Morgan James.[9] [10] Cole died on December 18, 2010.[1] [2] [3] [11]
