The Patty Duke Show (TV Series) Patty Pits Wits, Two Brits Hits (1965) User Reviews

Chad & Jeremy discovered in Brooklyn Heights

[jtyroler · 9/10 · 2 June 2010]

British invasion pop duo Chad & Jeremy (Nigel & Patrick for this show) supposedly are performing at a radio station that's simultaneously broadcasting Cathy Lane's announcing a brilliant young American pianist about to play Chopin's Nocturne in E Flat Major (either #2 or #16) as part of the high school''s new classical music program. Patty tries to introduce them to her father who had just written an editorial about how bad the music was that the teens were listening to. As Nigel & Patrick come into Martin's office and start playing, he kicks them out - as does almost every record company, until they come to one ran by Danny Leonard, a "hole in the wall, fly-by-night nobody"

But Danny will record them if his silent partner, brother-in-law, show manufacturer Max Whithers likes them. Max only listens to records so Patty records a tape at home. Her younger brother Ross is apparently an expert at recording demos - as he operates the tape recorder for the demo.

Does Nigel & Patrick become sensations? At the beginning of the show, they are performing "A Summer Song" at Brooklyn Heights High School.

Nigel and Patrick (Chad and Jeremy)

Brooklyn Heights High welcomes a performance by Nigel and Patrick (Chad and Jeremy performing their beautiful "A Summer Song"). They do it as a favor to Patty who discovered them and helped launch their career. Cathy had just started a job at Brooklyn Heights radio station BHBH, hosting a classical music program for the high school. Patty was there visiting when she ran across the pair and their immense talent. She takes them to her father, who has many connections, but he is writing an editorial bemoaning rock music and sends them away. Many other record companies send them away too. However, Super-Sensational Records, Inc. Publisher Danny Leonard (shifty character actor Phil Leeds) believes in them and offers a whole album for them to record. He states he's broke, but his rich brother-in-law Max Winters (Milt Moss) is his silent partner and he may be won over. A demo must be made first on their own. When they do make a demo, with complications, Danny says Max won't put up the money until a disc jockey plays it on air. Cathy is talked into playing their music, but will it be enough credibility for Max?
