She and Louie were so good I tried to never miss their appearances on the Ed Sullivan show back in the 50's,and I was just a little kid. They were the prefect match for the tv era. She,with her bored robotic appearance and GREAT voice,along with Prima,the dancing clown with a great voice were hard to beat.
I remember our first TV. We received two fuzzy channels. Period.
I died and went to heaven, when we moved to California, and saw TV on my grandparents set. Seven clear channels.
And adults determined what was watched, and for how long. That meant adult programs and children's' programs.
Adult meant variety shows, and this couple typified good televised entertainment.
That couple were popular with both my anglo-nordic-American parents, and my wife's Italian-American parents.
That "Black Magic" song still stirs me.
