Golden Oldie Picture Show – ‘Softly As I Leave You’ – Gail Herbert


Photos by Gail Herbert, no reproduction without permission.

These photos are from a location shoot for the ‘Golden Oldie Picture Show’, an entertainment series, presented  by Radio 1 D.J., Dave Lee Travis, and produced at Pebble Mill by John King’s department.  Music videos were made for classic hits, recorded before the age of music videos.  Guest directors would choose the hit they wanted to shoot the video for, and create the story for it.  Dave Lee Travis linked the different videos together.

This shoot was for the song ‘Softly As I Leave You’ composed by Hal Shaper.

Gail Herbert was the production assistant for the series.

The first photo shows sparks Roy Carn, creating a gobo effect with a tree branch.  The second photo features exec producer John King.
