Doc, need some guidance

#1572069

Post by ocoeeknight »

I happen to work for a certain entertainment company that is rumored to have negatives of the "Pied Piper" film. I've reached out to the some folks in the movie department who said they would do a little research for me on the subject. Other than what is general public knowledge, is there any other info I might be able to give them to guide them in their search?

Thanks

No problem!

Contact FECC member Guy Lambert (author Chris Kennedy), he's been researching this for years:
I've been working with Bill Randle's family on the Pied Piper research, and, incredibly, there's some more investigation that needs to be done.

The filmed portions of "A Day In The Life Of A Famous Disc Jockey" (aka "The Pied Piper Of Cleveland") were performances given on Thursday afternoon, October 20, 1955 at Brooklyn High School in Cleveland, Ohio by these acts:

Pat Boone
The Four Lads
Bill Haley and His Comets
Elvis Presley
Priscilla Wright


A film short from this was apparently screened in late 1955. But the movie and its soundtrack have been "lost" ever since.

This page from the official Scotty Moore site is also excellent:

Please let us know what happens with all of this! Post it in "All Elvis." And good luck.
