Singalong Jubilee

[David smothers]

This CBC series was produced at CBHT in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and apparently ran from 1961 -1974. There are a few clips youtube from episodes that starred Anne Murray, wonder how much of it exists?

This clip is from September 23, 1970:



And a couple others, unknown dates:

Those religious shows had fair few rockin tunes on that side of the pond.
We had a similar show in the UK called 'Stars on Sunday' with a schmaltzy presenter (later disgraced), who often played his organ in front of the singers as it was slower paced to
the US/Can style shows. There is no lamenting for all the wiped editions but bits and pieces do turn up.

I've found out some info from a Canadaian friend. Apparently "Singalong Jubilee" was a spinoff show from "Don Messer's Jubilee", which began in 1959. He said it was a summer replacement show starting in 1967, and then by 1970, "Don Messer's Jubilee" ended, and this show took over completely for the remainder of the run.

There is an earlier recording of Snowbird with composer/writer Gene MacLellan performing his Snowbird on, I think, this show, which was used for a modern era CD collection...
