''Shindig!'' is an American musical variety series which aired on ABC from September 16, 1964〔(Time listings: ABC completes its roster of new shows ), a September 1964 article from ''Time''〕-January 8, 1966. The show was hosted by Jimmy O'Neill, a disc jockey in Los Angeles at the time〔(''Shindig!'', Rod Barken ) from tvparty.com〕 who also created the show along with his wife Sharon Sheeley and production executive Art Stolnitz.〔(Art Stolnitz, 79, executive ) from ''Variety''〕 The original pilot was rejected by ABC and David Sontag, then Executive Producer of ABC, redeveloped and completely redesigned the show. A new pilot with a new cast of artists was shot starring Sam Cooke. That pilot aired as the premiere episode. ==Synopsis== ''Shindig!'' was conceived as a short-notice replacement for ''Hootenanny,'' a series that had specialized in folk revival music. The folk revival had fizzled in 1964 as the result of the British Invasion, which damaged the ratings for ''Hootenanny'' and prompted that show's cancellation. ''Shindig!'' focused on a broader variety of popular music than its predecessor and first aired for a half-hour every Wednesday evening, but was expanded to an hour in January 1965. In the fall of 1965, the show split into two half-hour telecasts, on Thursday and Saturday nights. ''Shindig!s premiere episode was actually the second pilot, and featured Sam Cooke, The Everly Brothers and The Righteous Brothers. Later shows were taped in Britain with The Beatles as the guests. The series featured other "British invasion" bands and performers including The Who, The Rolling Stones and Cilla Black. ''Shindig'' continued to broadcast episodes from London throughout its run.〔 Many popular performers of the day played on ''Shindig!'' including Lesley Gore, Bo Diddley,〔(Pioneer of a Beat Is Still Riffing for His Due ), a February 2003 article from ''The New York Times''〕 and Sonny and Cher, The Beach Boys, James Brown, Jackie Wilson, The Supremes and The Ronettes. ''Shindig!s success prompted NBC to air the similar series ''Hullabaloo'' starting in January 1965 and other producers to launch syndicated rock music shows like ''Shivaree'' and ''Hollywood A Go-Go.'' In March 1965, Little Eva performed her hit song "The Loco-Motion" in a live but short version of the song. This is the only known video clip of her singing the song. ''Shindig!'' is one of the few rock music shows of the era to still have all of the episodes available to watch. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shindig!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
