Tony Mammarella was the original producer with Ed Yates as director. The series originally featured Horn merely hosting two collections of filmed musical performances from both Snader and Official films (forerunners of modern music videos), but this was soon changed to the familiar format of having kids dance to hit records, an idea that came from a Philadelphia radio show, The 950 Club hosted by Joe Grady and Ed Hurst. On July 9, 1956, Horn was fired after a drunk driving arrest as WFIL and dual owner Walter Annenberg's The Philadelphia Inquirer at the time were doing a series on drunk driving. He was replaced temporarily by producer Tony Mammarella before the job went permanently to Dick Clark. _______________________________________________________________ Book is filled with pictures throughout.  Many include stars who visited the TV show.  These include: BILL HALEY & THE  COMETS JOHNNY RAY LES PAUL & MARY FORD FRANKIE LAINE PEARL BAILEY VAUGHN MONROE TONY BENNETT PERRY COMO PATTI PAGE THE FOUR ACES And many others...       8 1/2" X 11" Book is in excellent condition Back cover has staple holes at each corner Stapled binding is tight and all 32 pages are intact             I have tried to give a complete, accurate & honest description.Please ask questions, and I will attempt to answer. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From a Non-Smoking, Pet-Free Environment.   Shipping via USPS MEDIA MAIL or PRIORITY MAIL to USA locations.   Delivery Confirmation is included in the cost of shipping to USA locations.
