| This half-hour TV program ran weekly
in Chicago between the years 1963-1978. Created and directed by
Sid Ordower, JUBILEE SHOWCASE is a virtual who's
who of the greatest gospel performers of the last fifty years.
Absolutely amazing live performances by such gospel and blues
artists as THE STAPLE SINGERS (their earliest known
TV appearance), blues legend WILLIE DIXON, THE SOUL STIRRERS,
THOMAS A. DORSEY, DIXIE AND THE DIXIE HUMMING BIRDS, DOROTHY LOVE
COATS, JAMES CLEVELAND, and THE PILGRIM TRAVELERS
are just a few of the hundreds of guests that appeared live on the
program in its fifteen year run. The roots of blues, jazz, and soul
are obvious in many of the stirring performances featured on the
JUBILEE SHOWCASE.
