The New Glenn Miller Orchestra under the direction of and featuring Ray McKinley had its own, live, 10-episode summer series, “Glenn Miller Time,” on CBS in 1961. Programs emanated from Studio 52 in New York City, and, besides McKinley and the band, featured vocalists Johnny Desmond and Patty Clark..

“Glenn Miller Time” (RCA Victor LSP-2436), a 1961 12” LP which claimed to contain songs featured on the TV show did not, while the cover of “Echoes Of Glenn Miller” (RCA Victor LSP-2519), a 1962 release, presented the band as seen on its “Glenn Miller Time” TV set.

The above photo shows The Glenn Miller Orchestra performing a sound check for WRCV-TV in Philadelphia. Given the reeds standing and the muted brass, they may be playing a few bars of Moonlight Serenade. The band’s director, Ray McKinley, is at the very left on stage, perhaps conferring with the sound man.

Not only was Guy Lombardo famous for his annual New Year’s Eve TV broadcasts, which dated back to 1929 on radio and continued until his death in 1977 (or past that, counting Victor and Lebert and Bill Lombardo), Guy and his Royal Canadians had filmed 39 1/2-hour episodes of “The Guy Lombardo Show” in the mid-1950s.

While other sweet bands such as Kay Kyser got in on television in the late ‘40s, they didn’t enjoy the longevity that Guy Lombardo had. In Kyser’s case, after his “College of Musical Knowledge” NBC-TV series ended in 1950, he actually shunned the public spotlight for most of the rest of his life.

Though Ozzie Nelson had given up his band, he was highly-visible on TV, especially the 435 episodes filmed of his family show, “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet” [ top photo ]. But he and Harriet continued to work in TV for years, such as their 1973 segment of “Love, American Style” [ bottom photo ].

Artie Shaw appeared in a handful of dramatic roles on television, including “Crash,” a 1984 ABC TV movie based on a true story. In the above photo, Shaw clutches actresses Sharon Gless ( center ) and Shirley O’Hara ( right ), after their airplane crashed in the Florida Everglades.

More than 30 years earlier, while Artie Shaw was still playing his clarinet, he appeared on several TV shows which originated in New York City. Among them was “What’s My Line?,” which had Shaw as its “mystery guest” on March 2, 1950 [ top photo ]. Around the same period, Shaw was photographed at the WPIX TV studios with Eddie Condon and one of Condon’s daughters [ bottom photo ].

We end with Ray Anthony, the only bandleader who was a performer or guest on TV shows stretching over more than 50 years!

Above is a pictorial report about his 1952 guest shot on “Saturday Night Dance Party.”

These photos were taken on the set of Ray Anthony’s ABC series in 1956.

A close friend of Hugh Hefner [ above, l. ], the late Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Playboy magazine, Ray Anthony continued to hang out at the Playboy Mansion, with appearances on the TV series “The Girls Next Door” (2005-2009) and “Kendra” (2009-2010), prompting Internet bloggers to refer to him as “the eternal playboy.”
