Taught By Sunday Music Festa Host Otto Bruno

Where did you learn about the Great American Songbook? On the radio, in school, maybe from your parents or grandparents? In most cases our family or friends help to shape our musical tastes but the TV Variety Shows of the 1960s and 1970s played a big part in introducing millions of viewers to America’s classic pop songs. The Carol Burnett Show, The Hollywood Palace, Ed Sullivan, and numerous star-driven TV Specials through the decades helped promote the music of The Great American Songbook. In this class, we’ll uncover some of those classic gems and put a smile on your face as we take a trip down TV’s Memory Lane!
