Remember Vaughn Meader doing impersonations of John Kennedy?

No

Yes!

That came to an about halt when President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was shot.

Never heard of him and I'm an old boomer. Might have been partying instead of watching TV during that time.

I thought this was going to be a Silent Movies thread.

Had the album as a kid.

I heard them on the car radio.

'
I remember this album; my parents had a copy. (I was born in 1954 for a time frame reference.) I didn't remember the name of Vaughn Meader, however.

Kennedy, both as Commander-in-Chief and as a member of the prominent Kennedy family. Issued by Cadence Records, The First Family became the largest and fastest selling record in the history of the record industry, selling at more than one million copies per week for the first six and one-half weeks in distribution and remained at #1 on the Billboard 200 for 12 weeks. By January 1963, sales reached more than seven million copies.

The First Family won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1963, becoming the second and most recent comedy or spoken word album to win the award.
