You mean, why didn't the video mention that Sugar Ray didn't appear afterall?
Cause that wasn't the point of Woody Allen's comment (or actually any comment).

That clip might also be from "The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom" which ran from 1957 to 1960. I think Woody Allen was a staff writer on that show.

Anyway, the closest guess I have (if the clip is from the late 50's to early/mid 60's) would be Dee Clark.


The singer in the video might've been a bit older than Clark would've been at that time, though.

I'll check with Lloyd himself and see what he says, but that's it on my side.
I've done research, I've looked online and can't find anything which is why I asked here.

Is it really necessary to spit your dummy out because I said he doesn't look like Lloyd Price?

In many ways this is a Special Olympics. It's the event where a bunch of white guys try to identify a black man in a photograph.
thorntond is our frustrated Special Olympics coach.

Thanks for helping out (which is more info than we're getting from the original poster).
Yeah, I'm familiar with Boone's Chevy-Showroom shows that were earlier, but it seems
that Woody Allen appeared on it once, with no sign of Robinson being on it. Allen was
writing mostly for Sid Caesar at that time and he did write a Chevy show for Caesar -
and was even nominated for an Emmy for it.

Dee Clark seems like a pretty good guess (much better than the "all black men look the same" kind of recent guesses),
but I checked online and apparently Dee only did American Bandstand and The Dick Clark Show during this time,
so that's what I'm seeing.

To the original poster: all we're getting here from you is "no, that's not it" -
no mention of any part that you've actually played in this. No mention of
any kind of what you're doing or have done - whether it's just curiosity or does
it have something to do with a certain project - what kind of research have you done -
something that maybe we didn't think of here, etc. In other words, some kind of
helpful feedback outside of "Duh, that's not ______. It doesn't look like him."
Yeah, I'm doing it because I'm always curious to expand my knowledge of things -
especially in the arts, but it's not so much the idea of you accepting my impressions,
it's that there seems to be no constructive feedback or any kind of give-and-take to this search.
That's why I'm tired of playing your reindeer games.
