From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Golden Touch of Frankie Carle is a musical variety television series broadcast in the United States by NBC from August 7, 1956, through October 20, 1956.[1]
The Golden Touch of Frankie Carle featured pianist Frankie Carle[1] and guest singers performing a variety of music, including popular standards and the current hits of the day.[2] Accompaniment was provided by a musical trio.[3]
The program's main purpose was to round out the half-hour prior to the beginning of prime time following the conclusion of the network's evening news broadcasts,[2] which were, like most network news broadcasts of the era, only 15 minutes long.[citation needed]
Carle's guest on the premiere episode was Joanne Gilbert.[4]
