TJ Lubinsky, the Pittsburgh transplant from the Jersey Shore who's raised billion$ for PBS since 1999 with those performance specials sporting a wide variety of artists (and the earliest major recycling of the Ed Sullivan legacy), this week unveiled a worldwide talent search for latter-day aficionados of those great vocal-harmony hits of the 50s/60s, with the finalists getting to (natch!) a Peeb special showcase celebrating the genre... get your videos to him pronto, 'cuz you've only got till the end of February...

In case you're wondering, none of the links from the last time we mentioned ol' TJ are still around... I wonder if WQED is still recycling the Lubinsky legacy, among other pledge-attracting stuff, online?

PBS and its stations are moving all of their content to their streaming app. There they put almost all of their archive behind a paywall that takes an annual membership to unlock. I searched on my PBS/WQED for doo wop and found links to paywalled specials.
