- TV music videos of the early 1950s in US. Many artists were recorded, including Nat King Cole, Teresa Brewer, Peggy Lee, Duke Ellington.
They are not to be confused with Soundies.
Louis D. Snader was my grandfather. I enjoyed several history lessons from his daughter, who has now passed on. The information I was told is that Goldstone tried to muscle his way in and take over the business. This video depicts my grandfather as not being a successful business man, when in fact, he was extremely successful in real estate and other business ventures. . .spent many occasions with this man and have fond memories of him. He was well respected throughout the industry.
When "Bandstand" (later "American Bandstand") began as a local show in Philadelphia (1952), host Bob Horn introduced Snader "teletransciptions", interspersed with occasional interviews of musicians coming through Philly.
Apparently, Philadelphia viewers got tired of these films quite quickly. After a few weeks, the format was altered to make the visual of the show teenagers dancing in a studio to the latest hit records.
Louis Snader was my great grandfather. Duke Goldstone takes WAAAAY too much credit, and luckily Louis was dead when this was made. So Duke can say anything he liked and there was no opposition. Truth is, Duke tried to take over Snader Telescriptions... THAT caused the dissolution. Louis Snader continued on in other ventures to be very successful.
Goldstone was also Snader's initial director on the 1953 episodes of "LIBERACE"
No mention of showing of Korla Pandit - he did over a dozen Snader telescriptions, including two test films in color (he was easy to shoot and visually stunning, so they did those unreleased tests with him.) 20 years ago, there used to be a Snader website where you could license and release the films, but it seems to have disappeared. Where are they now??
The copyrights are now with Historic Films. I wonder if they would license for CZcams.
