50s Country and Western Music from TV Broadcast : "Town Hall Party" April 19, 1959 - From Musical Comedy "Texas, Li'l Darlin'" (1949) Written By : Johnny Mercer & Robert Emmett Dolan and was first performed by Danny Scholl in 1950.
Columbia Records released a Town Hall Party LP album in 1958, featuring many of the regular cast members of the series.
That same year, however, brought changes to the program.
NBC radio had discontinued carrying the Saturday night shows, and rising union scale rates made it impossible for Wagnon to keep the huge cast of recording artists on the Compton stage week after week.
The band was made smaller and many regular cast members departed in 1958.
Billy Mize and Cliff Crofford, talented vocalists/instrumentalists/composers, joined the much smaller cast as band members and soloists.
