Arthur Godfrey famous TV Show host with the highest advertising gross in the 1950sTHIS IS THE ORIGINAL FIRST RELEASE of a record which would become a Children's record classic Arthur Godfrey ?– What Is A Boy / What Is A GirlLabel:Columbia ?– 39487Spoken WordA What Is A Boy B What Is A Girl Composed By [Music] – A. Wilder*Directed By [Orchestra] – Mitchell Miller*Written-By – A. Beck*10" 78 rpm record Condition: EXCELLENT minus faint scuffs, plays EXCEPTIONALLY quiet A CHOICE COPYBetween the innocence of babyhood and the dignity of manhood,we find a delightful creature called a boy. Boys come in assorted sizes,weights and colors, but all boys have the same creed:to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to protest with noise (their only weapon)when their last minute is finished and the adult males pack them off to bed at night.Boys are found everywhereon top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around or jumping to.Mothers love them, little girls ignore them,older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them, and heaven protects them.A boy is Truth with dirt on his face.Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket.When you are busy a boy is an inconsiderate, bothersome, intruding jangle of noise.When you want him to make an impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a savage, sadistic,jungle creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.A boy is a compositehe has the appetite of a horse, the digestion of a sword swallower,the energy of a pocket-size atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the lungs of a dictator,the imagination of a Paul Bunyan, the shyness of a violet,the audacity of a steel trap, the enthusiasm of a fire cracker,and when he makes something he has five thumbs on each hand.He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books,the boy across the street, woods, water (in its natural habitat),large animals, Dads, trains, Saturday mornings and fire engines.He is not much for Sunday school, company, school, books without pictures,music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime.None else is so early to rise or so late to supper.Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs and breezes.Nobody else can cram in one pocket-a rusty knife,a half eaten apple, three feet of string, an empty Bull Durhamsack, two gum drops, six cents, a sling shot,a chunk of unknown substance and a genuine supersonic ring with a secret compartment.A boy is a magical creatureyou can lock him out of your kitchen,but you can't lock him out of your heart. You can get him out of your study, but not out of your mind.Might as well give uphe is your captor, your jailer, your boss and your master.A freckled-faced, pint-sized, cat-chasing bundle of noise.When you come home at night with only the shattered pieces of your hopes and dreamshe can mend them all like new with the two magic wordsHi DAD Arthur Morton Godfrey (August 31, 1903 – March 16, 1983) was an American radio and television broadcaster and entertainer who was sometimes introduced by his nickname The Old Redhead. The infamous on-air firing of cast member Julius LaRosa (the LaRosa incident) tainted his down-to-earth image and resulted in a marked decline in his popularity which he was never able to regain. At the peak of his success in the mid-1950s, Godfrey headed two CBS-TV weekly series and a daily 90-minute television mid-morning program, but his presence had been reduced by the early 1960s to hosting the occasional television special and his daily network radio show, which ended in 1972.In 1948, Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts began to be simultaneously broadcast on radio and television, and by 1952, Arthur Godfrey Time also appeared on both media. The radio version ran an hour and a half; the TV version an hour, later expanded to an hour and a half. The Friday shows were heard on radio only, because at the end of the week, Godfrey traditionally broadcast his portion from a studio at his Virginia farm outside of Washington, D.C., and TV cameras were unable to transmit live pictures of him and his New York cast at the same time. Godfrey's skills as a commercial pitchman brought him a large number of loyal sponsors, including Lipton Tea, Frigidaire, Pillsbury cake mixes and Liggett & Myers's Chesterfield cigarettes. By 1959, total advertising billings from Godfrey's TV shows were estimated at an industry-high $150 million, almost double those of second-place Ed Sullivan.[ More Great Records on sale right now: CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE MORE GREAT RECORDS CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE ALL ITEMS - VINTAGE BOOKS, VICTROLA and TURNTABLE ITEMS, CDs, Books and DVDs http://shop.ebay.com/carsten_sf/m.html ==== A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING: As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

Quick note on grading: The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise."EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing."VERY QUIET" is an above average quiet record for a given pressing."Quiet" is a record that is a great example with some noise. These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment. Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
