Ahead of this holiday season, we went back into our archives (thanks to our Station’s Archived Memories team) in order to find a video to get the Scrooges among us into the holiday spirit. We thought this video from the 1982 Denver East High School Angelaires choir might do the trick. If you thought, “Hey, that vocalist with the impressive scatting looks a lot like Lt. Col. James Rhodes from the Iron Man movies,” you’d be correct — it’s Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe winning actor Don Cheadle. Cheadle and his classmates were featured on a Rocky Mountain PBS program called “Prime Time,” a weekly series about the Denver Public Schools system. The show was hosted by Ed Sardella, the longtime anchor at KUSA who retired in 2001. For “Prime Time,” the Angelaires began their performance with “Everybody’s Boppin,” a song by Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. Cheadle added a holiday flair to the song, starting off his solo with “Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. What fun it is to sing on Channel 6 today.” Read more: https://www.rmpbs.org/blogs/rocky-mountain-pbs/don-cheadle-east-high-school-denver/ ------------------------------------------------------ Follow Rocky Mountain PBS on our other platforms, too. • Newsletter: https://www.rmpbs.org/newsletter/ • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rmpbs • Twitter: https://twitter.com/rmpbs • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rmpbs • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rocky-mountain-pbs
