I was brought up in Hialeah,Fl.Jackie G. had a mansion in Miami ,at Halloween his people would give out handfuls of coins to the kids that showed up!!We never made it over there,Dad did not want to fight the traffic.Always liked him!
Jackie Gleason - wow
I'm in my late forties and grew listening mostly to pop/rock and a smidge of country through my parents.
About seven years back I became friends with a fellow audio nut. We help each other when we can. He's in his 60'and prefers jazz and big band music. I stopped by a Goodwill store and picked up two mint Jackie Gleason albums for him.
I swung by his place and played the LPs on his stereo. Wow!!!! I was really impressed. Some great band band music for sure. I was happy to get them for him but could have easily kept them for myself. Had no idea Mr Gleason was talented.
Live and learn.
