The real question is, could this website live without me? I think not! Of course, I did upload this, so I'm not gonna give it another rating (lol). But anyway, I'd just like to say that this program actually deserves credit for featuring a Jewish female as the host, yet the fact she was a Jew (and female) was never mentioned. I've always felt shows like this were helpful for equal rights since they portrayed Jews and woman as people, no different to you or me.

Very different to that "Jeffersons" nonsense which left many people racist towards blacks.

Dinah Shore comes across as a nice person, and she sings quite well.

How fortunate we are to catch a glimpse of TV in the fifties. Dinah is fabulous here as our Chevrolet girl, fine in form and voice, with a smile that lights up the screen! Her voice and on-screen persona exude warmth and style and she is irresistable to watch. She sails through her music with the greatest of ease and then brings on a five person singing group, "The Skylarks", who are amazing and compelling in their own rite. They sing in five-part harmony and dance and make it look effortless. Dinah joins them for a song and then she sings the Chevrolet theme song, and then they're gone.

Don't miss this one!
