Contents

Premise

This four-part series featured particular genres of modern music and various performers. Jim McKenna hosted Sounds Good except the country music episode.

  • Folk: featured Ellen McIlwaine, Don McLean, Myles and Lenny and David Wiffen
  • Country (10 September 1976): featured Carroll Baker, Tim Daniels (later of Comin' Up Country), Mary Lou Del Gatto, Prairie Oyster
  • Disco: featured Crack of Dawn, Soul Express, Sweet Blindness and Rick Wamil
  • Jazz: featured Moe Koffman Sextet, Peter Appleyard, Aura and Clark Terry

    • Sounds Good was hastily produced on a low (approximately CA$40,000) budget when CBC's Studio 7 became unexpectedly available for three days. A previously-planned television feature on Nellie McClung was scheduled to film there but production was cancelled when ACTRA objected to the choice of an American actor portraying McClung.

    Scheduling

    The hour-long episodes were broadcast on 4 August, 10 September, 18 September and 28 September 1976.
