Caravan of Stars

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In 1959, Dick Clark formed the Caravan of Stars, a road show featuring some of the most popular stars and musical groups of the day. Chubby Checker, Duane Eddy, Bobby Darin, Fabian, Buddy Holly, Annette Funicello and Bo Diddley toured with the Caravan. Chuck Berry joined the tour, as well but chose to drive his pink Cadillac

One of the few revues of its kind, it was also racially integrated which allowed African American musicians and bands entered into some mainstream venues.
