I complete this quartet of YT posters obsessed with very specific show-biz personalities with a Sal Mineo fan who has put up some mind-warping entertainment. First of all, I knew that Sal sang during his '50s heyday, but had no idea that he kept going up until the Shindig era:

The most interesting thing about these singular-obsessed YouTube posters is that they sometimes don't bother to post the names of the other celebs appearing with their fave-rave. In this case, the Mineo fan didn't bother to post the names of the astounding group of panelists (Lee Marvin, Louis Nye, *and* Gypsy Rose Lee?) that accompanied Sal on the very short-lived The Celebrity Game.

And the piece de resistance has to be this rock 'n' roll show that Mineo hosted, that appears to have either extreme short-lived or just a pilot. The poster only vaguely mentions Sal's cohost (one hint: he's on trial now for murder, da-doo-run-run-run).

Ode to Bobbie G.
The same poster who is Lennon-obsessed (no, not John) has a smaller trove of clips featuring '60s variety show appearances by sexy country babe Bobbie Gentry. I have very fond memories of Bobbie, mostly of course for "Ode to Billie Joe." These are much more interesting appearances, tapping into that Ann-Margret sexiness that seeped into much '60s TV entertainment featuring female singers.
And this wonderful bit from The Johnny Cash Show. Now why don't the ladies dress like this anymore?

In case that didn't sell you on her, here's another song, I believe from the Smothers Bros. show (c'mon, Tom, release 'em on DVD!).

And since the joy of variety shows always came when the "old" slammed up against the "new," here's Bobbie and the blessed Tiny Tim warbling with Der Bingle (we need more of the Bing/Tiny stuff too!):
