Beat It Michael Jackson. Gentle on My Mind Glen Campbell. American Pie Don McClean. Hotel California The Eagles. Living in America James Brown. I have ove...

What Time Is It Church? It’s Howdy Doody Time! October 31, 2013. From 1947 through 1960 America’s kids would plunk themselves in front of the television set for the 5:30 PM viewing of the Howdy Doody.
