Groucho Marx "Hooray for Captain Spaulding" - the last of Margaret Dumont and Melinda Marx

What Groucho remembered most about his March 3rd, 1965 appearance on "Hollywood Palace," was that his longtime co-star Margaret Dumont died three days later. At 82, she looks fine as she once again confronts her nemesis. Aside from this TV appearance, Groucho recorded “Hooray for Captain Spaulding” on a 10" ep for Decca, which also included, among others, “I’m Dr. Hackenbush” and “Go West,” two novelty songs cut from “A Day at the Races” and “Go West.” Also recording, for Vee-Jay (aka VJ) was Groucho's daughter Melinda Marx, now 72 (she had a birthday in August of 2018). Her singles were actually pretty nice, but she wasn't that interested in rivaling Petula Clark or anyone else. 1965 was her last year of pop singing, and despite Pop's encouragement over the years (several appearances on "You Bet Your Life,") Melinda would eventually give up acting as well, and show business entirely. Here's the two MARX segments of the show...Groucho's “Captain Spaulding“ routine, and stick around for Melinda singing, and then doing a duet with Dad.
