Various Artists - Playboy After Dark (CBS Television City, Los Angeles, CA), Volume 11: April to May 1970

Sadly, this is the eleventh and final volume of my compilation of "Playboy After Dark" T.V. show episodes. There's a lot of excellent music here, but the show got cancelled after just two seasons.

This last volume mostly consists of performers from earlier episodes coming back. Perhaps Playboy head Hugh Hefner already known the show was going to be cancelled so he wanted to have a last hurrah with some of his favorite acts. I think Spanky Wilson and Sue Raney are the only ones who weren't repeat guests. The Cowsills performed another time, but lip-synced their performance then, so I didn't include that. But they played live here.

The first act here, Bill Medley, was half of the Righteous Brothers duo. He didn't have much success with his solo career in this era, but in 1987 he would have a Number One hit in the U.S. with "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" in a duet with Jennifer Warnes.

Like most of the volumes for the second season, there are some songs with "[Edit]" in their titles. As I explained in previous volumes, that's mostly from talking over the music during the last songs of each episode, especially thanks to a voice-over advertisement for the airline company T.W.A. 

There are a number of songs here that weren't put on record, similar to earlier volumes. That's especially true for the duets and other collaborations. For instance, I couldn't find any evidence of Billy Preston performing "It's Your Thing" on any record - a big hit for the Isley Brothers around this time - much less doing it with Joanne Vent, Bill Medley, and Blinky!  

I hope you enjoyed all the volumes in this series. And I hope now that I've done this, the music from this show will be appreciated by a wider audience. 

This album is an hour and three minutes long.
