HEY EVERYONE, WE HAVE MORE WORK TO DO.
LET US ALL E-MAIL VH-1 TO AIR THE TONY ORLANDO AND DAWN SHOW, FREDDIE WAS ON THE SHOW AT LEAST TWICE.
THANKS EVERYONE
TRACY

Yeah, I'd love to see those shows, even if Tony Orlando does suffer greatly in the gorgeousness department by comparison with Freddie--that aspect would make them hard
to watch! But I want to see if Freddie danced and/or sang--I think he was very talented at both, but those talents were almost totally unused on CATM. (He was accepted to the Joffrey Ballet school--and we've all seen his moves on the show! And check out the little bit of singing on his comedy album--there are hints!)

yes yes yes please please e-mail me SIBLIS about the show.thank you thank you.TRACY

Hey, guys,

I have a vague memory of Freddie being on Cher's old variety show -- the one she did by herself after her divorce from Sonny. There was some kind of light-hearted duet between Cher and Freddie and he did sing a little.

Might be worth trying to find a copy on e-bay.

thanks Flora for the information on Freddie being on the "Cher" show. vh-1 not too long ago showed her shows but they didn't show when Freddie was on there. But wow! that sounds like that was some kind of a show with Cher and Freddie singing together.can you remember what he had on?
he was always a nice dresser.

i did e-mail vh-1 to please start showing the Tony Orlando and Dawn Show with Freddie being on there at least twice. i read the sketches online that freddie did on that show and oh! my do they sound funny and exciting to see. i hope everyone on this board will write to vh-1 and request for the show too. if they see a high demand, they may show it. that would be GREAT.

Wow, I never knew he sang!

I thought he probably did, because on the few occasions on CATM where he sings a little bit of something like at the end of the episode with Jose Feliciano, it is obvious he can carry a tune. And on his comedy album there are bits of a couple of songs in the context of a joke, like the song "Tonight" from "West Side Story" which I think requires kind of a big voice to sing well--he just does the first two words (the title), and it carries huge!

That reminds me--in the "Lisa" episode, can anyone figure out what song he is singing while he's setting the table at the beginning? The stupid music they introduced at the start of season 3 covers it!

Tracy,

Sorry, I don't remember what Freddie had on. I was about 10 at the time and I really didn't pay too much attention to details that seem important now! I just remember that I liked to watch variety shows and that "Chico" happened to be on this one.

I seem to remember Cher had some kind of opening monologue where she said something about her show had been on the air for a year and no one had expected it to last that long. But I'm not sure if that was the same one that Freddie was on. I think VH-1 said her solo show didn't last long, so if there's some way to get a complete episode listing, it probably wouldn't take too long to find Freddie.

P.S., Unfortunately, if TVLand is editing the "Chico and the Man" shows, VH-1 might have edited Freddie out of the Cher show. I'm not sure how long he was in it.
