Hendricks was a member of The Swallows, The Flyers, and sang lead with The Drifters before becoming a successful solo act (he sang The Drifters' "Drip Drop").
His single "Itchy Twitchy Feeling," which was covered by his former band soon after it began attracting radio airplay, hit the U.S. charts, reaching #5 on the Black Singles chart and #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1958. Hendricks's only other charting single, "Psycho," was a novelty song depicting a psychiatrist talking with a patient. Psycho peaked at #73 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1960. New York City disc jockey Dr. Jive (Tommy Smalls) was the voice of the psychiatrist on "Psycho."
From 1961, off and on, through 2008, Bobby Hendricks worked as lead singer with Bill Pinkney's Original Drifters and appeared with them on PBS in the Doo Wop 51 television broadcast and Doo Wop Love Songs, singing "Stand By Me" with Bill Pinkney, Charlie Thomas, and Ben E. King.

@@MegaJustGeorge And you can see it it in Andy's facial expressions during this interview - all those aspects of Lonesome Rhode's character. He's the only guy who could ever play him. Just as Angela Lansbury was the only one who could play the mother in the original Manchurian Candidate. Meryl Streep is a hell of an actress, maybe the best ever, but she couldn't come close to Angela in the remake. But Face in the Crowd is such a great story - and, yeah, timely - so I'd be curious to see it just as I was for the Manchurian Candidate remake.

This is the Elias Kazan movie, "A Face in the Crowd". What it trying to be stated by Griffith as well as the movie is the danger of the media being used by people. The crowd may follow anyone who promises them the world without question. We as critical thinkers should raise many qustions pertaining to what kind of individuals we admire or even elect into office. I do believe that both Hitler and Mussolini as well as other leaders used the newsreels of their time to persuade "sheeple".

@ Kevin S & Don Taylor - Andy Griffith was a very spiritual man. I believe he did predict Donald Trump. Everything he said fits Trump from his inside and out. I also believe Andy was a Democrat. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Jesus was predicted in the old testament. Just like it's been predicted that you will reap what you sow, and that's according to the Book of Obadiah in the Bible. Focus on verse fifteen and learn of your fate. We are living our past directly from the Bible. The Lord has no respect of person. The Lord is the creator of heaven and earth, not man.

Insurance companies have been dropping and adding doctors to their panels since insurance was invented. There is nothing the ACA did to cause this to happen more or less frequently than it had before. Are you advocating that the government should have exercised MORE control over a private industry?

Comedy wasn't Andy Griffith's first choice as a career and A Face in the Crowd proves he could be brilliant without jokes. His first choice was music and he recorded songs on the B sides of all his comedy singles (including my favorite version of "Midnight Special.") But above either of those talents he was strongest as an actor imo, and A Face in the Crowd is, to me, his most outstanding piece of work. And yeah, I don't think anyone can view it nowadays without thinking of Trump.

Two sweet southern gents having a conversation. Fred Griffith and Andy Griffith. One from West Virginia, one from North Carolina. I remember Fred Griffith saying that growing up in West Virginia you learned "reading, writing, and Route 21 (the way up north to Cleveland). Loved watching the Morning Exchange when it first aired in 1972....the first morning talk show format in the country, I believe.

Sounds kind of like Nixon recording all his conversations in the Oval Office, which were gradually made public after their existence was revealed to Congress by Alexander Butterfield.

Interesting. A couple years ago, I was reading the forum that's the largest fansite for fans of the old Andy Griffith series, and Andy's politics were apparently a problem for some of them. Being as they like the idea of Mayberry family values. Some describe his as not just a liberal, but a 'militant liberal'. Whatever that means. One guy told a story about seeing Andy outside a hotel in the Vietnam era, and he was in his Marine uniform. He said he walked up & said, "Sir, I'd just like to shake your hand." He said Andy replied, "Get away from me baby-killer."

He's talking about how most our representatives are appointed not elected from city council to president. Also Ronald Reagan Before his presidency, American politician and actor who served as the Governor of California from 1967 to 1975, after a career as a Hollywood actor and union leader.

There were history book in which the authors described the rise of Hitler in similar ways how Mr. Griffith does in this video. Way before modern day U.S. political figures.
