Here's a kinescope of a 1957 telecast of The Spade Cooley Show, which aired on KTLA-TV in Los Angeles.

By this time the self-proclaimed "King of Western Swing" had become, albeit for a short period, the Phil Spitalny of Western Swing as Spade fronted an all-female band (which included an 18-year-old accordionist and piano player named Jo Ann Castle).

Shown in three parts.
