Bo Diddley performed by Bo Diddley Tweedle Dee written by Winfield Scott performed by LaVern Baker Ling Ting Tong written by Mable Godwin performed by The Five Keys Gator Tail performed by Willis “Gatortail” Jackson from The Toast of The Town (CBS-TV), 20 November 1955 Let’s put this clip into perspective. Elvis made his national network television debut, on CBS, 28 January 1956. This performance on Ed Sullivan’s top rated Sunday night variety show, The Toast of the Town, predates Elvis by 2 months! And, you thought Elvis was shocking. . . all I can say is wail, man, wail! Here it is – WWRL’s star disc jockey Tommy “Dr. Jive” Smalls presents rhythm & blues to a mass white audience, in prime time! For much more on Dr. Jive: www.nydailynews.com I have seen some of this on YouTube but, NEVER the whole clip, as presented here. There is, however, a couple of glitches in this video but, I felt that this clip needed to be presented. Not only is it entertaining, it is historic, as well.
