* * FOR ALL YOU GRAND-MAMAS & GRAND-PAPAS * * IT'S ANTOINE DOMINIQUE "FATS" DOMINO JR. and IT'S 1957 - THE PERRY COMO SHOW. MR. FIVE BY FIVE - A WAGRadio NEW WORLD AFRICAN MUSIC HERO ! !

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IMPRESSED US ABOUT THE VIDEO [uploaded to YouTube by Istash] IS THE GREAT ORCHESTRA THAT PERRY COMO HAD ON HIS SHOW.  YOU CAN HEAR THEM TAKE OVER (at 3:04) FROM THE NEW ORLEANS DOMINO GROUP and THAT FACT BECOMES MORE OBVIOUS WHEN Mr. DOMINO et al LEAVE THE STAGE AND THEN RE-ENTER LATER . . . WHO IS THE SAX PLAYER, we wonder ! ??  KING CURTIS WAS FEATURED ON THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW AND MAYBE THAT'S WHO IT IS . . . WHOEVER HE IS HE'S A HELLUVA PLAYER AS YOU WILL ATTEST TO.  THE SHOW'S WERE (MORE THAN LIKELY) PRODUCED IN NYC and WE'RE GONNA TRY AND FIND OUT WHO WAS IN THE COMO BAND.
