If you were a rock 'n' roller (and even if you weren't), you'd eventually find your way to ABC's "Shindig!" in the '60s. Just about everyone (except Elvis) did. The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry and the Everly Brothers were just a few of the acts audiences saw on their TV screens.
Recent Rhino Home Video releases include "Frat Party" (with clips of the Kingsmen, Jerry Lee Lewis, the Sir Douglas Quintet and the Isley Brothers), "Motor City Magic," spotlighting Motown, and "Jackie Wilson," featuring the only live performances by the singer available on video.
And in the tradition of Rhino's "Golden Throats" audio releases, "Frat Party" also features rock 'n' rollin' Zsa Zsa Gabor, above with host Jimmy O'Neill, and her immortal rendition of "High Heel Sneakers."
Later this month Rhino will release "Groovy Gals," which includes the Supremes, Aretha Franklin, Petula Clark, the Shangri-las and Lesley Gore, and "Soul" featuring James Brown, Joe Tex, Booker T. and the MGs and a duet with Tina Turner and Marvin Gaye.
Each volume lists for $14.95 and is available at video stores.
