"Palisades Park" performed by The New Red Onion Jazz Babies

Walter Bryant did a nifty job of adapting this 50's tune to the Dixieland style with his arrangement for the NROJB.

Clay Cole

Clay Cole The man, the missing link that brought Rock n Roll to Television. First on WNTA (Ch 13 - now WNET) in September 1959 as Rate the Records, within two months the format was changed, and an hour-long Saturday-night show was added. In the summer months, the show was expanded to an hour, six nights a week, live from Palisades Amusement Park, where Chubby Checker first performed and danced "The Twist." When WNTA's licence was sold to a public broadcasting foundation, the show moved to WPIX (Ch 11) where for five years it was wildly successful, thanks to first-time guest appearances of the Rolling Stones (on a program with one other guest, The Beatles), Neil Diamond, Dionne Warwick, Simon & Garfunkel, Richie Havens, Tony Orlando, and The Rascals. At the height of the show's popularity, Clay Cole walked away in 1968. Channel 11 erased all the historic tapes in a cost-cutting move; no tapes exist to this day. Except for this one.

Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon

Here is a rare clip of Freddy singing his classic 1962 song "Palisades Park." I'm not sure what show this is but it's fun to watch.
