WITH THAT KONK ! WITH THAT SUIT ! ! IT JUST GOTTA BE NUMBER ONE ! ! ! A WONDERFUL BIT OF OLD T.V. FOOTAGE OF A WAGRadio KING . . . HANK BALLARD on "To Tell The Truth" (November 13, 1961)




WE HERE AT WAGRadio WERE SURPRISED THAT JOHNNY CARSON DIDN'T EXCUSE HIMSELF 'CUZ WE THOUGHT HE'D KNOW WHO RHYTHM 'N' BLUES GIANT HANK BALLARD WAS . . .
WE ALSO LOVED THE LOOK THE GREAT HENRY BALLARD (John Henry Kendricks) GIVES WHEN HE'S ASKED "IF (HE'D) HOLD STILL FOR THAT".
SOMEBODY GON' GET CUT !!

This is a wonderfully insightful bit of U.S. sociological history.
