    Where to Watch

Renowned bandleader Lawrence Welk began his own variety series in 1955... and it has never stopped running. Each program was straightforward musical numbers from Welk's band (many of which had featured solos at one point or another), as well as vocal selections and dance numbers from the show's cast. Most of the introductions to the performances, read stiffy by Welk, were kept short. Many of the shows revolved around a certain theme (e.g., "The Music Man" or the Fourth of July), with appropriate songs and dance numbers. The most famous of the featured singers were the Lennon Sisters (Dianne, Janet, Kathy and Peggy), who were featured most every week for 13 years. At the end of each show, Welk would invite women from the audience on stage to dance with him as the theme, "Bubbles in the Wine" (and later, "Champagne Fanfare") played. The show enjoyed a 16-year network run on ABC, and later a successful 11-year syndicated run. Just months after the original series ended, older shows (from c. 1965-1982) were repackaged with new footage and entered a long run in both syndication and on PBS.

U.S. Tour - guest stars Ken Delo & Ralna English

Sat, Jun 21, 1969

Two new cast member were introduced on this show that would entertain for many years - Ken Delo, and Ralna English. Ken sounded just like Ken always did, with that smooth performance. Ralna was a bit rough in her debut, but obviously they saw her long term potential. They also showed a picture of Jo Ann Castle with her recently born baby girl - a bittersweet moment considering what happened later with her live-in lover and her children. :-(
