Wowza! Ken Dodd followed by Jack Jones followed by Danny LaRue introducing Carol Channing.
They don't make variety shows like that anymore.

Special indeed. And it was November of that year when I saw them perform live at Manchester's Belle Vue along with Orange Rainbow and Sisters Love.

That is great. Was Orange Rainbow a local group?

Orange Rainbow were more of a backing band so I guess if you think of The Funks who might open the show with a few numbers then continue to back the artists it's a bit like that. There's a very good piece here giving an insight on the tour. http://mjfa.forumotion.com/t1496-the-jackson-five-over-europe-by-dave-goodman
