About this deal

I still like the soft side of a more simpler times with a pop standard style often referred to as "Dance Hall Light Entertainment". As you may know I previously expressed my dismay about the continuance of the BLACK AND WHITE MINSTREL SHOW. The BBC might also ask the three American networks, since it is only a theatrical show, what reaction they think the series would have on responsible coloured opinion in the United States if they put it out coast to coast. In some cases tickets will be left in the auction winner's name for pick up at the ticket office of the event location.

The BBC says that the Black and White Minstrels is "a traditional show enjoyed by millions for what it offers in good-hearted family entertainment". VG/EX means that the item's sleeve is in Very Good condition and the disc is in Excellent condition. vague] The show continued for three years, [ citation needed] and the Australian and New Zealand box office records it set have never been broken. com (also known as Esprit) has been the world's biggest and best seller of premium quality and top condition rare and vintage vinyl records, rare CD's and music memorabilia since 1985 - that's 39 years! This continued every year until 1989, when a final tour of three Butlins resorts ( Minehead, Bognor Regis, and Barry Island) saw the last official Black and White Minstrel Show staged.

In the two decades of its existence, it’s hard to dispute the sheer popularity of The Black and White Minstrel Show – in numerical terms at least. In July 2009, Henry explained that he was contractually obliged to perform and regretted his part in the show, [7] telling The Times in 2015 that his appearance on the show led to a profound "wormhole of depression", and that he regretted his family not intervening to prevent him from continuing in the show. The Corporation’s Chief Accountant, Barrie Thorne – who, significantly, had spent some time in the BBC’s New York office and so had seen something of the Civil Rights movement – argued vociferously for the show to be pulled from the schedule.

Elliott, singing in blackface, spawned so many imitators that he started referring to himself as ‘the original chocolate coloured coon’. Although images of violence, sexuality, and the Black Power movement were routinely examined by screen regulators in the 20th century for their influence on audiences who were often imagined as impressionable, blacking up on screen was thought to be harmless and have little real impact.

In 2023 the BBC broadcast a documentary presented by the actor David Harewood and the historian David Olusoga about the pernicious influence of blackface minstrelsy in pervading racial stereotypes and anti-black racism in Great Britain. Having left the Victoria Palace Theatre, where the stage show played from 1962 to 1972, a second show toured almost every year to various big city and seaside resort theatres around the UK, including the Futurist in Scarborough, the Winter Gardens in Morecambe, the Festival Theatre in Paignton, the Congress Theatre in Eastbourne and the Pavilion Theatre in Bournemouth. In part, this was simply because by the late-1970s variety shows in general were proving to be less popular with television audiences than they had been in the 1950s and ‘60s. Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description.The best advice that could be given to coloured people by their friends would be: "on this issue, we can see your point, by in your own best interests, for Heaven's sake shut up. Tucked away in another part of the BBC’s written archives is an earlier memo from Barrie Thorne – one he sent five years before. Vote up content that is on-topic, within the rules/guidelines, and will likely stay relevant long-term.
