You are always showing the best stuff! Great movies and music.
Thanks for the compliment. This is going to be a fun project.
Great series Randall!! I look forward to seeing 1951! 😁👍
Thanks. This series idea allowed me to work in some of my favorite films as well as records.
I'm already hooked on this series Randy, great way to merge a lot of your interests! Jack Benny reminds me of my Dad, we listened to the radio show a lot when i was a kid. He is still a big fan!
Thanks Sam. My dad was a big fan of Tennessee Ernie Ford's show and liked his music but I don't remember him playing it around the house. I think Jack Benny was ahead of his time and his comedy is timeless. I hope there will be some surprises.
Thanks for the shout out Randy! I also required a physical copy, so no way could I go back this far. Not sure I could find a TV show from 1950 that I liked. Love the movie 'Harvey'! Great idea for a series!
Thanks for the inspiration, Steve. I think there is one early year that I don't have a dvd to show but I will have to see. I especially like some of the early TV shows to spot actors that will later make it big. Harvey is a wonderful movie.
I have the later 12" LP edition of that Yma Sumac debut; found that in a thrift store and then a month or two back I came across her final album from 1970 ish, where she reunites with Les Baxter but gets into some heavy rock and psychedelia. Could not believe it, I have only ever seen hippydjkit on here show it and there it was in an antique store down the road, for about the price of a cup of coffee. I thought Ray Charles wrote Hit The Road Jack, that song also got covered or adapted (very loosely) in reggae by Big Youth. Harvey, I have not thought of that movie in years. Not even sure if I ever saw it but I remember hearing about it. Never seen Sunset Boulevard, sounds like I should get around to that. Cisco Kid was a friend of mine, War sang. Maybe they related to him as a rare Hispanic hero at that time. Cheers!
It’s good to hear someone else who knows Yma Sumac. I didn’t know her the first time I saw Secret Of The Incas but now I enjoy seeing her in the movie. Percy Mayfield’s songs have been covered by a wide array of artists, from Thin Lizzy to Aretha Franklin but Ray Charles had the biggest hit with one of his songs. I’m not sure of the genesis of the War song and I think Sunset Boulevard is essential. Have a great weekend.
Good Evening Randy. The mixing between Album, Song, Film and TV Show in one place is a really nice idea. I am sure different viewers will comment on different themes, for me, it will be more the film aspect. Lots of exciting films around in this decade. Cannot fault your selection of movies here. Mine varies more-so due to genres that I particularly enjoy. My top films here would be: 1. John Huston's 'The Asphalt Jungle', with Sterling Hayden. 2. Nicholas Ray's 'In a Lonely Place'', with Humphrey Bogart & Gloria Grahame. 3. 'Panic In The Streets', with Richard Widmark. There were also two of my favourite film adaptations of their respective novels this year: 'Treasure Island', with Robert Newton, and 'King Solomon's Mines', with Deborah Kerr & Stewart Granger. A final mention also for: 'No Way Out', with Richard Widmark & Sidney Poitier. Looking forward to 1951. Have a great night.
Thanks for watching. I like all of the movies you mentioned. I was going to include In A Lonely Place and later realized I did not have a physical copy of the movie. It has one of Bogart's best performances. You have some nice noirs listed and a nice adventure flick. I always liked Robert Newton as Long John Silver. I wanted to incorporate my love of film with this series. Take care.
Nice series idea Randy. I love film noir B&W films... they don't make them like that anymore (unfortunately) Big fan of Wynonie Harris... excellent blues and R&B 'shouter.' Thanks, have a good weekend.
Film noir is one of my favorite genres, so there may be some more ahead. I also love the jump blues/r&b shooters like Wynonie, Big Joe Turner and Roy Brown. Thanks for tuning in.
This is a great idea Randy. I’ll be really interested to see how this develops through the decades. I think I’m going to learn a lot. Mike
I went pretty far back for this series which should reveal some “golden oldies.” I will have fun with it and I hope others will too.
Buster Poindexter did a fun cover of "Good Morning Judge".
I have that album on CD and he does do a nice cover.
I have Xtabay as a 4 45 boxset. I love her stuff. I've got that Wynonie Harris album too. Please Send Me Someone To Love truly is great. One of the first 45s I ever had was by Phil Harris from 1950. The Thing and Goofus.
I'm gonna like this series.
We have Harvey onVHS.
The Bing Crosby album originally came in that 4 45 boxset like the one you have for Xtabay. I had a set like that for a different Bing Crosby release but unfortunately sold it before I got back into vinyl. I do have some Phil Harris recordings on 78. I don't think I have that Phil Harris record. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Song...Billy Eckstine....My Foolish Heart
Film The Third Man..Orson Welles/Joseph Cotton
Album....King Cole trio./ Self-titled
The Third Man is a top five movie for me but I used 1949 (the UK release year) instead of 1950 which was the US release. May King Cole may be appearing later. You had some great choices.
Wow, this looks like it will be a lot of work. My dad loved Bing Crosby, so I heard a few tracks way back when. I've see All About Eve, but I can't remember if I have seen Sunset Blvd. I have never seen any of the TV shows, because I am such a young guy!
My dad was a big fan of Tennessee Ernie Ford but never played much music in the house. He liked his TV show. I know that you are such a "young" guy but these picks were before my time as well, but I still appreciate them. Sunset Blvd is a must see.
Great idea for a series Randy! I really like how you have tied this all together and on a personal level. Well done. Thanks for that shoutout. I’ll definitely be checking out your movies.
Thanks Gary. I thought I could incorporate two of my favorite passions in music and film. It's going to get harder in the years ahead I think. Take care.
Kitty Margolis recorded a version of "Please Send Me Someone To Love." And Maxine Sullivan recorded "It's Been A Long Long Time". I just now listened to her version with the Keith Ingham Sextet and was reminded of why Maxine will always be my favorite female vocalist. What a great song. I'll stream Bing and Les after I finish watching your video. Harvey is one of my favorite movies - just about anything with Jimmy Stewart falls into that category. Wow, I did not know there was color television in 1950. Great lists Randy!

Thanks for the info. Both of those songs were covered by a lot of artists. I’m not sure if I have anything by Kitty or Maxine although I might have something on 78 by Maxine. I think that James Stewart may have appeared in more classic movies than anyone. Thanks for watching and commenting.
If you check your “blocked messages” tab you may find a link to Maxine singing that I sent you.
@@RandallWeaver Thanks Randy. I don't know why I didn't find your message. I found a video with an older Maxine singing the song with the Keith Ingham Sextet. Very good.
Awesome idea for a series Randy. I definitely will get an education on the pre-rock & roll music of the early 50s. Some artists you mentioned I was completely unaware of. Very informative, for sure. As far as the movies of 1950, my favorite three are 1. The Asphalt Jungle 2. All About Eve 3. In a Lonely Place (with Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame). Good luck with this series. I hope it brings additional subscribers. You deserve them. Look forward to 1951 in the next episode.
Thanks Rich. I originally had In A Lonely Place on my list and found out that I don't have a copy. I thought I had a copy but it may have been on VHS and those are boxed up. Maybe one day when I move and have more room, I can bring those out. I love those three movies and obviously two were on my list. I look forward to our Monday video.
Hi Randy. I have seen others doing their favourite albums for each year or favourite movies for each year but to do all four things here for each year since 1950 definitely needs some thought. This will be a fun series to watch and you’re off to an interesting start. Although I no longer have any vinyl, I’ll be interested to hear your picks for each year and obviously will enjoy seeing which movies and shows you have on physical media. I don’t think many would complain with your movie choices for this year.
Thanks Neil. I have been working on this for a while and have the first few years covered as far as my picks. I did try and think of something new by having the four categories. I think that all four of those movies are classics. I wanted to add In A Lonely Place but found that I did not have a physical copy. Thanks for watching and commenting.
This video was a joy to watch. Thanks for going back to 1950. A lot of good music from that time is "lost" to us in the present due to the format change and the dominance of the corny/tame pop that has tainted our perceptions of the music of the time. In future videos, I'm particularly looking forward to taking notes on rhythm and blues artists that I can search out on compilation albums.
1950 was an incredible year for movies. Sunset Boulevard is probably my favorite Billy Wilder film. Of course, it is possible that the Buster Keaton cameo has influenced my judgment. Josephine Hull was a riot in Harvey. Hard to pick a favorite from all the runners up. As mentioned in other comments, In a Lonely Place was also a great one. Watching that movie for the first time (during the VHS era) was such a thrill because, at the time, I had never heard it talked about as one of Bogart's top tier movies. (Beat the Devil and We're No Angels were also delightful surprises. Bogart had a good run in the 1950s.)
1951 is going to be exciting. Will the underdogs at Ealing Studios take down the heavily favored team of Huston, Bogart, and Hepburn? It'll be fun to see.
Thanks for watching and sharing your comments. Quite a few of the jump blues artists could be viewed as the precursors to rock and roll. A country artist or two may sneak in as well.
Since I started in 1950, I had to leave out some of my favorite noirs. I thought I had In a Lonely Place but apparently I don’t. I may have it on VHS and most of those are boxed up. Billy Wilder was such a great writer and director and may appear again later. Josephine Hull was indeed a comedic gem. Take care.
@@RandyforRoyals Thanks, again.
Hi Randy!!! well done and cool idea for a series.... however i really don't recognize any of those movie you showed or the song either, lol!!! so it will be a nice way to learn more about those year media releases. cheers and be well
Thanks Cristian. I am going a little farther back than most people are used to. Hopefully I can provide some surprises.
Wow 1950. I don’t listen to music really from that far back. My favorite movie is probably Cyrano Debergerac. Cinderella and Father of the Bride are good too.
Thanks Jason. Those are good movies but I don't think that I have a physical copy of any of them. I did pick up some nice Disney DVD's at a thrift store the other day but not Cinderella.
Great idea Randy - I decided to comment on your video from my movie channel but you my recall me as John'sMusicPassions when I commented on your videos with Rick, Doc and Masseys Entertainment - The music I don't know but the movies I have all of your 3 TV Shows I watched Cisco Kid as a kid but ws it a different version in the early 50s any links to the albums
Thanks for stopping by. The three movies are indeed classics. I was glad that I was able to incorporate films in this series as I am a big movie fan as well. I know that there was a movie that came out in the 90's of The Cisco Kid and there was a movie in 1931. I can probably to a song link to the album.
