This was on my short list of articles that I've been meaning to do. Since someone's already started it, I plan on making this worth keeping. Ol'Lloyd was among my earliest memories. - Lucky 6.9 00:07, 21 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

This article only begins to do its subject justice. I remember watching the Lloyd Thaxton show when I was in 6th grade outside Philadelphia in 1964-65 every afternoon at 4. It was great, I remember the Byrds, Sonny & Cher and various other groups being on there. I think the Stones and the Beatles were on it at one point. It was a way better show than American Bandstand.Tom Cod (talk) 06:28, 15 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Father of the video?

edit

The claim that “Lloyd Thaxton is today known as the father of music videos” is neither given a citation here, nor is he mentioned in the Wikipedia article on the subject which is linked to. I’d never heard of him in that context - is there any basis to it? Jock123 (talk) 19:11, 11 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
