Shivaree (TV series)

Shivaree was a Los Angeles-based music variety show that ran in syndication from 1965 to 1966.

It was created and hosted by KFWB-AM personality Gene Weed, LA's top nighttime DJ at the time, who in later years became a producer for Dick Clark Productions.

In its brief run, the show featured numerous well-known acts, including The Mamas & the Papas, The Supremes, The Rolling Stones, Glen Campbell, Dusty Springfield, Jackie Wilson, Marvin Gaye, Jay and the Americans, Ronnie Dove, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, The Ronettes, Cher, Simon and Garfunkel, The Byrds, The Toys, The Bobby Fuller Four, Allan Sherman, The Reflections (Detroit band), Lesley Gore, and Gary Lewis & the Playboys, and was taped at KABC-TV's studios in LA.

In addition to the host, the show also featured dancers (go-go girls), including Teri Garr, Cathy Austin, Joane Sannes, and Kay Parks, who danced on elevated platforms behind the bandstand while guest artists performed.

Rights to surviving footage of the show (which was produced in black-and-white) are now owned by Research Video.
