Welcome to the "Swingin' Sixties" when "Hullabaloo" made its TV debut (1965-1966) on prime-time broadcasting and, thus, provided lots of great public exposure for the pop-music talent (from both America and Britain) that existed at the time.
Believe me - "Hullabaloo" is a nostalgic "Blast-From-The-Past" that is certain to entertain those viewers who really dig all of the groovy sights, sounds, and fashions from that unique era in pop music history.
