[Long before she was known as George Clooney's aunt, singer
Rosemary Clooney had many hits during the 1940s and 1950s
including her signature song, "Tenderly" which she recorded
as a revival in 1955; it was a big hit the year before she
hosted this early TV musical variety series;
The Syndicated show was a trial balloon which featured the
Hi-Lo's singing group and Nelson Riddle's orchestra;
Her show was picked up for sponsorship by the makers of
Lux detergent soap as a network series on NBC the next year;
The Modernaires singing group and Frank DeVol's orchestra
were featured on her NBC show]
