The Show Must Go On

 



On THE TODAY SHOW this morning the singing group THE TEMPTATIONS  was on.

WOW! 

I remember watching them live in either 1959 or 1960 at Larry Bell Auditorium  on Clay Street in Marietta, Georgia..  That was over 60 years ago, they did not look that old.  Maybe they have a very efficient replacement system. 

Anyway, I have many memories of that night. 

Also that night playing on Larry Bell’s stage was Billy Joe Royal,   who was making a name for himself.  I remember Billy Joe was singing and people were dancing,  a fight broke ouft  Security or police drug out Billy Joe’s best friend.  His friend looked overheated.

Billy Joe singing did not miss a beat although it all happened right in front of the stage.  The show must go on.
