| Mr. Billy Barnes can't be called a "new" songwriter like others on Ducy Lee. In fact, in my opinion, he is the least recorded of our great American songwriters. Starting with "Billy Barnes Revue" in 1958, he literally defined the revue form in this country, introducing stars such as Jo Anne Worley, Ken Berry, Jackie Joseph, Bert Convy, Joyce Jameson and Tom Hatten along the way. He was nominated for two Emmy Awards writing specialty material for "The Danny Kaye Show", "The Carol Burnett Show", "Sonny And Cher", "Cher", "The Acadamy Awards"and many others. On "Laugh-In"he was also a member of the cast! |
| "BILLY BARNES REVUED"is a "best-of" show featuring songs from 10 revues and 2 TV shows. Six of these wonderful, funny songs have never been recorded before ... including a new one he wrote for this production! |

The show opened January 11, 1999 at the Cinegrill
in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and features a bright NEW cast of future
stars: PAUL AINSLEY, CINDY BENSON, LAURI JOHNSON, HOPE LEVY, BRET SHEFTER,
CRAIG WASSON ... and BILLY BARNES himself.
