Why? Because it’s good old-fashioned television without politics and the doom-and-gloom we witness on TV these days. After all, what could be more fun to watch than a ‘rhinestone plowboy,' which is what Roy calls Donny after Donny shows off his bedazzled cowboy boots?
But the fun is just beginning.
Toe-Tapping Throwback From Donny And Marie Show
Donny tries to be more ‘country’ to help Roy feel at home, and it’s both cheesy and endearing. The silly puns are all in good fun and the stars are all clearly having a great time as they banter before introducing the song.
And what happens next on the Donny and Marie Show is one of the best renditions of ‘Foggy Mountain Breakdown’ in history!
As Donny continues cracking jokes about country boys, Roy takes all of his cheekiness in stride. But Marie is a little confused by her brother's peculiar behavior. She asks Donny why he's talking funny.
Donny then explains how he was just trying to make Roy feel more at home with his jokes about country folk. Then the fun begins as Donny and Marie's siblings join them, along with George Gobel, and comedian and talented flamenco guitarist Charo.
Together, the whole crew brings down the house with heat from their bluegrass style of picking! All jokes aside, the performance was jaw-dropping. And the comments about the performance capture it all.
'Foggy Mountain Breakdown' Performance Wows
One view said, Before computers, and cellphones, if you missed it, you missed it! Good old days!” Another viewer said, “If it had strings on it the late Roy Clark could play it. Very talented and was truly a "super picker!”
The Donny and Marie show aired from 1976 to 1979. Donny and Marie were 18 and 16 years old when the show made its first debut on a Friday night. Each episode concluded with a music finale like this clip! Doesn’t it bring back great memories? Talk about ‘picking’ good, clean fun! This is a video you don’t want to miss!
