"I'll Play The Fool" Composed by Stony Browder, Jr. & August Darnell
This vintage TV clip of Dr.Buzzard's Original Savannah Band begins with an introduction by the legendary Dinah Shore while Sean Connery, Jill Ireland & George Kirby are chilling. This is the first of two songs that were performed. The second song from this TV show has also been posted.
SUGARCOATED SIDEBAR:
During these times all the TV shows wanted us to mime the entire performance which we were reluctant to do. A compromise was reached with the shows we finally performed on.
We revisited the studio and did a special TV mix. The lead vocal, some of the background vocals, and a few instruments were muted.
Thus Cory's vocal is completely live and so is the piano, hi-hat, and toms. Stony & August's microphones are live but their background vocals are also on tape thus at times they are doubling themselves. The bellhop singers in the background, horn section, Vibraphones, Guitar, Bass, most of the Drum kit, Percussion, and synthesizer are miming. Notice also that you hear but do not see strings.
Addendum: In those days there were no automated boards or home music software/computers etc. In order to duplicate the exact mix you had to take polaroids/pictures of the board and painstakingly notate all the knob settings for everything including EQs, reverbs, delays, volume faders, etc. When we did the TV remix we used the mixing documentation in order to maintain as much as possible the integrity of the original record mix.
BELLHOP SIDEBAR The Bellhop background singers were just hired for the show.
