Recorded at the start of 1964, this clip from episode 66 of Sing Sing Sing features hit-makers of the day Paul Wayne, Digby Richards, Johnny Devlin and Johnny O’Keefe singing excerpts of each others’ hit songs from 1963. With obvious camaraderie they accompany and sometimes interrupt the other performances. Johhny sings Johnny Devlin’s hit ‘Stomp the Tumbaruma’, while enthusiastically 'stomping’, and Johnny Devlin returns the favour with O’Keefe’s hit ‘Move Baby Move’. Dancer, actor and choreographer Sir Robert Helpmann joins them on the set as Johnny wraps up the show and the credits roll.
