I like the Jackie Deshannon song, first time hearing it, Dock of the Bay sped up like they did is sacrilege! One month after his daughter’s suicide he is reading a letter someone else wrote about his daughter’s death in a robotic voice? Something really creepy about that. Bob was singing in his “Lay Lady Lay” voice lol
That Linkletter thing— you remember his television show?
Yes, vaguely. I know it was in B&W. Seems like it was similar to candid camera (or was it candid camera?) where the kids were talking/being filmed without knowing it.
Yes It was something on that order- was it called Kids Say The Darndest Things or something like that?
Yes it was. Not sure if he had two different shows or the one and it was that name. It’s a vague memory but I remember liking the show.
As a kid I remember watching it too.
