- In 1890 "Doc" M.F. Chamberlain founded the HERB 0 LAC MEDICINE SHOW which toured all over the United States. He operated this show until 1936 at which time he gave the formula of HERB 0 LAC to Tommy Scott and asked him to continue the operation of the show which he has done until the present time.
Tommy Scott first started entertaining in 1930 in and around his home town, Toccoa, Georgia. His first full time job was on the Chamberlain Medicine Show at a salary of $6.00 per week and this has been his basic work his entire life.
Snake Oil: On April l, 1933 he did his first radio broadcast on WAIM in Anderson, South Carolina. It was about this time that he formed the Original Georgia Peanut Band and did the blackface monologue comedy act called PEANUT. Then he went on WPTF in in Raleigh, North Carolina; WFBC - Greenville, South Carolina and WRDW - Augusta, Georgia doing live programs as a solo act.
He later entertained for a year and a half on the WORLDs'original Jamboree on WWVA - Wheeling, West Virginia.
It was there that he joined Charlie Monroe as one-of the Charlie Monroe's Original Kentucky Partners with Fiddlin' Dale Cole and Curly Sechler. He did his straight singing act and he and Dale Cole did the blackface comedy team of Midnight and Peanut.
The Tommy Scott medicine formula was used under the name of Manoree trademark and was sold on Charlie Monroe's radio show in 1939 and 1940 at which time there was as many as 10,000 bottles of medicine sold a week. These programs were on the Manoree Network originating from WBIG - Greensboro, North Carolina.
This came to a halt because of disagreements over money. Scott pulled his medicine out and continued on his own with his trademark HERB 0 LAC. He went on to early morning shows on the 50,000 watt WHAS station in Louisville, Kentucky. It was there that the late and great Dave Aikman, Stringbean of HEE-HAW fame joined his act. Tommy and Stringbean formed a blackface comedy team called STRINGBEAN AND PEANUT. They later (in the 1950's) toured together for about two years across the United States and Canada.
A "Patient"Also, in 1941 Tommy appeared for about a year on WSM's Grand Ole Opry; Nashville, Tennessee. In 1941 and 1942 Tommy Scott and Curley Sechler had a Medicine Tent show and were on the radio for VIM HERB throughout the South East.
From 1943 to 1947 The MEDICINE SHOW started appearing in theatres nationwide and Tommy was one of the first to do transcribed programs which were broadcast over some of the world's most powerful radio stations from XEG - Monterey, Old Mexico; XERF - Del Rio, Texas; XERB - Tiajuana, Old Mexico and he also did 15 minute transcriptions for the American Tobacco Company: Dental and Garrett Snuff which were heard over 82 stations nationwide.
Then Hollywood beckoned him to come to the movie capital of the world where he starred in a full length western movie called TRAIL OF THE HAWK. He also did quite a number of musical movie shorts for Astor pictures. It was at this time that he met such great stars as Johnny Mack Brown, Col. Tim McCoy, Al "Fuzzy" St. John, Maxx Terhune and Sunset "Kit" Carson all of whom later worked for him on his traveling show. Incidentaly Col. Tim McCoy co-starred with Tommy for over 13 years playing more than 300 different towns per year in live performances.
But back in 1937 Tommy Scott made his first recording in Rock Hill, South Carolina where Eli Overstein had set up a mobile recording studio for RCA Victor Records. Tommy has written and recorded around 200 songs, many of which have been recorded by other artists such as: The Willis Brothers, Red Sovine, Lester Flatt, George Morgan and others. Some of his most unusual songs are ROLLIN'IN MY SWEET BABY'S ARMS: ROSEBUDS AND YOU, POLLUTION, SLOW DOWN WORLD, WE'VE GOT A CRISIS, MEDICINE-SHOWS BACK IN TOWN, EXORCISM, HAVE A GOOD DAY and MEDICINE MAN. He is a member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and also a member of the Country Music Association. In 1976 he was placed in the Walkway of Stars at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennessee. During this ceremony other notables such as Ronnie Milsap, Mickey Gilley, Hoyt Axton and Ray Whitley were also installed.
Frankie ScottFrankie Scott, Tommy's wife worked with him on the stage as a feature doing her magic, and Clarabelle the gal from the mountains, for many years and now is his assistant in the production of his stage show. For over 30 years Tommy's sidekick, Old Bleb, has been one of the key performers of the show.
In 1948 Tommy was the featured attraction of AMERICAN United carnival, touring basically in the North Western states. From 1949 to the present time he has continued to play 325 to 350 different towns per year across the United States and Canada giving his MEDICINE SHOW the distinction of having played more towns and performances than any other show on earth. - Hudba
Some times I wish I was born in 1940s-50s but than I remember I’m black
whats ur pfp ive seen a guy has the same. thats cod? or someething?
Yeah it’s from ghost
I agree man, things seemed nicer then but the segregation made things harder for people. Maybe in the future things will be on a good path.
I hope one day we can all experience days like this again, together
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
3am and this is where my mind brings me, oh the joy
no better place
2am here I am with ya lol !!!
Ha. I just clicked on this and it’s 3:51 am! Haha
High?
It's 8:30pm and for some reason this song pops in my head & now I'm looking it up on youtube
My grand pa used to sing this song. He retired from railroad. Miss him
Watching this I can't help but think about the fact that I'm watching a group of phantoms singing a happy song in the prime of their lives. An odd feeling for the passage of time to be made so apparent.
it did originate from a song about death afterall
DJBranden okay dude, too much. Way to fckn much
That's a feeling no one at the time could have imagined anyone watching this would ever feel, but what is it over 70 years ago, 80? It comes to you right away today looking at these faces from the past. We are the first generation to watch moving film of people from another era and to have to deal with that. In a way it is time travel.
No you are not. They are not phantoms. They were real people. They lived here. They were on film. They gave a legacy just like other people. Stop calling them "phantoms.."
They may have lived and died, but as we observe them at the prime of their lives on our screens, they present themselves to us as phantoms, as ghosts of real people who were affected by the inevitability of time. Ghosts of people that received the same tragic fate as we all will one day, the perpetual cycle of life. It’s not meant to be disrespectful in any way, it’s just a testament to the hauntingly beautiful thing that is time.
This song has been stuck in my head for 3 days, it’s catchy as hell.
It's as catchy as 'You Are My Sunshine'. I've been earwormed by that lovely, cheerful song for days!
@@godjortall7177 Dude I was thinking of both of those songs only just as you! Pretty crazy coincidence lol.
@@Regular_Decorated_Emergency - haha - crazy coincidence indeed! This is another jolly song the sticks in my head sometimes: czcams.com/video/PKtEWB0WmDE/video.html
no shit 😮💨
i mean there's a reason it's so old and people still listen to it. it's well crafted
I love old songs like this. This song is 100 years old!

When you like the song but your embarrassed of adding a nursery rhyme to your playlist so you add this instead 😂
Ew
@@Randive what's disgusting about that he said
@@Randive That is very naive of you
@@Randive what
@@Randive bruh what
i listened to this song and this song established my identity when i was young in preschool. their was this preschool teacher that sang this song and i cryed everytime, becuase i thought i wouldnt see my mom. This song showed why i cared for people and why i am experiencing my own joy in life, because you know what this song told me. It told me " focus in the moment and be happy when you dont see the horizon". I need to tell you if you focus on the desire that is important for your life work on it, and if it doesnt work dont worry. God knows you and he'll understand your struggle, just listen to him and he will know what your going through. if anyone sees this comment it is a blessing to know this. James
My grandfather (born in 1928 & WWII Navy Vet) whom had raised me by adopting me had sang this song & "you are my sunshine" all the time when I was younger and he had passed away a few years back and I made it a point to have both of those songs on his CD to be played at the funeral home. Needless to say, it's so bittersweet.
God blessed your grandfather soul
My grandma would sing "you are my sunshine" to me as well. She was born in 1919
Lost Mine a few years ago... Maybe He fought your grandfather in WW2
If we are lucky, i will fight you in ww3... Feminism and stuff 😉
You make him happy when skies are grey
Lmao this is funny my grandfather was born same year and was also a ww2 navy vet he served on a destroyer escort and never saw any action but he was a great man who raised a great family and will always be a hero in my eyes what sucked is that everyone smoked like a chimney back then and that was his demise
When I was a kid, back in the 50's I use to sing this song all the time. Ha Ha Good to hear it again.
Sweet!
Adolf Kitler she prolly thought it was someone elses comment
Ok boomer

He performed the whole song without once removing his chewing tobacco...what talent!!! Seriously, I enjoyed the video and song. Thanks for posting!
That's good. I am Indian now 35, when I was just a toddler my US auntie got me a cassette with all these kids hits including this one and "And all we get together the happier we'll be." ^_^^_^^_^
I just watch Daniel Radcliffe and he made me crazy before I heard this song. It was amazing!
Daniel Radcliffe's version is quite stunning indeed.
As a 72yo Australian i was brought up with the extra words
with an aye, aye, yippee, yippee, aye etc
He made you crazy? He ruined the song. It was gross.
*SO* amazing !!
I remember in primary school we had an annual assembly in which we all just had a big sing along at the end of the year. About 200 or so kids all crammed into the main hall singing our hearts out, loving every minute of it. I remember me and my friend Sean singing this song so full of joy, absolutely hog wild, sweating with excitement with our hearts racing. It was pure bliss. I love this song.
My mother would sing this song when I was a little kid now I’m 72
Im 18 yrs. and this reminds me of my school days. listening to this after 10 years now. Still remember this beautiful song. I sung them at school.
I would get drunk as hell to this band playing live.
It’s simply not tolerable sober
@Quirky54 ikr and it's *sooooooooooooo looooooooooooooonnnnnnggggg* 😖
Sure is nice to reminisce about beautiful music like this in the good old days when people Were kindly folks.
Yeah, music like this isn’t popular anymore sadly. Now people rap about death, drugs and rape now. Truly a sad time right now.
We sang this at school in Britain in the 1980's. Loved it. Not these words! Sleeping in with grandma and wearing pink pyjama's.
@Anurag Chakraborty Wouldn't say that, just that the words were changed for a primary school version.
Who is here for Daniel Radcliffe’s dance in miracle workers🤣
This has been stuck in my head all day
cool
have another listen today and it will take your mind off todays problems
“ yes I’m coming back to serve a second term!”
My grandma used to sing this to me...I sadly lost her when I was 10yrs old....I can now sing it to my granddaughter 😄 along with 'you are my sunshine' which is another favourite ❤ wonderful memories x
I was smiling the whole way through. They are so happy! None of the holleywood fake nonsense.
You don't think they were told to smile?
@@ianstuart371 HA !
This reminds me of my childhood. We used to sing this song in the car all the time
Spontaneously started singing this song this morning so had to look up this video
It's 3:33am and this is what I find yet I'm so entertained. :)
This is one of those songs you can sing in the car or something for hours, just like 100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.
Im in 2021 13 years after this post if someone is seeing this remember me
I was born and raised on a 'mountain' and I finally get to go home. Work in a really remote area on a work camp and sang this song all week and my coworkers would clap and stomp with me. I'm so excited to go home.
Who’s here after Dan Radcliffe?
My grandpa used to sing this to me when I was little this makes me smile 🥺
Dont kno 🎉❤how i knoe this song real music. 😊
I grew up listening to these songs and I watched many Westerns! Wagon Train my favorite and the Andy Griffith Show and Lassie on black and white TV! I love listening to the Western drawl! Grew up in Brooklyn NY! I was transported lol!
Nice to see this video!!!!!!!!! I was once on Tommy Scott's Old Time Medicine Show for 8 years 1979-1984 and 1990-1994 Traveled 10 mo. out of the year 7 days a wk. did a show every day all across US and Canada. I miss those days meeting different people and seeing the country. My now 23 yr old son spent the first 4 years on the show. In the vidieo Tommy's wife Frankie is playing the mandolin front left. I believe their daughter Sandra is the little girl. ENJOY!!!!

Andrew E brought me here "Di ko sya titigilan when she come shoot shoot"
This is a great version of this song. I gotta say I am impressed by the accordion player. She does not even look down to see where her fingers are and yet she doesnt miss a note.
Anyone else learned this song and others in elementary? I have memories of someone coming to my 1st grade class at least 3x a week to teach us this song and others.
The whole group is amazing including the happy accordiinist
Nostalgia hits hard
DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE BOOK OF LIFE
My Mama use to sing me to sleep with this song every night back in the Good Old Day's . Yes, I'm Old School. I still have a Outhouse too. What do you youngster's think of that?🤠🇺🇸🐎🐎🐎

When you watched Daniel Radcliffe's version and cant watch this the same.
The black-haired lady at 1:15 has got a very nice smile. And all in all, the entire footage is great!
They were so… happy back then, they were. I wish I was alive then.
+Izzy Waan Eh.
+Ojohnson50 only a select few were happy while everyone else was miserable
this was probably made in 1930
you want to be alive then?
So? That was there job. DUD. You do what the Boss says, or quit. lol
lol just one video of a happy family and you think everyone was happy back then?

I'm here because my wife and I were talking about all of the old songs that we were still learning to sing in school in the 70s that kids just don't know anymore.
there was 4 German bombers in the air !!!!!
This brings me back.
thank you :)
I am a Finance Manager at a Toyota dealership in South Carolina. Tommy came in to my store in Anderson, SC and bought a car and I asked him at the age of 94 "How long are you going to keep this car?" He answered without a pause "10 years I'll be 104 and I'll be ready for a new car by then..." He also said the only drawback to living so long was all your friends die. I love his spunk.
Hey thanks for that love it
Not exactly how I learned it, but close enough for government work, as they used to say. This song has been stuck in my head for over a week, but I always got stuck on the verse about the rooster, and it was driving me crazy.
Its 2:30 in the morning I've just finished watching an episode of Grace and Frankie maybe an hour ago or so and for some reason this was an element of that episode and this was just stick in my head and had to listen to it onto "The Trolley Song" from Meet Me in St Louis for me toodles
Feeling Happy for MY SONS return Home again {AICC completed} ... After *30 days...He says....I'm driving through the Mountains HOME today....I thought of this Song....I'm a Proud Military MOM.
Love..love..luv! 😍🤗😘🤩😁
EPIC!!!!
