Pro Reviews: Steve Allen on the Air

  • All Music Guide

    Over 20 of Allen's routines, taken from '50s television broadcasts, rare singles and LPs of the '50s and '60s, and a few sketches from the '80s and '90s. Includes several examples of Allen's popular "Question Man" and "Man on the Street" satires, and some goofy on-air phone calls. A few musical novelties mix Allen's jazz piano with spoken fables and comedy; "I Left My Nose in San Diego" is an affectionate roast of Tony Bennett. There are also some cameos by Johnny Carson, Jerry Lewis, Abigail Van Buren, and Elvis Presley, who has a small role in the 1956 cowboy spoof, "Range Round-Up."

He started to play the piano while a ch... Read more
