I am looking for an episode of the Gong Show, I know not much about the season, or even who the judges are. What I do know is that my Grandfather, Percy London sang "My Funny Valentine" to much acclaim. I can tell you this: it was a Valentines day episode and has the "It's Valentine's Day on the Gong Show" heart shaped banner as a backdrop.

My grandfather passed in 1991, I was too young to really even realize he was gone, so were my younger siblings. We now have children and would love to show them their great grandfather as well as give my father a copy. He was 30 when he passed and it still hurts him. I don't have much to trade, but I am sure I have something that may be of someone's interest.

Thanks for your effort, but none of these can be it. After speaking to my father about it earlier I know that he went by his real name (Percy London) and was a 30 point winner. Any other idea of where I may be able to find it?

Hi.....I would have no idea where you would be able to find that clip...I have one of the best "Gong Show" sets out there.
