Didn't Wayne Newton appear on Gunsmoke episodes in the late 60's?

Answer 1

He absolutely did. His character was a young man who's father didn't want him to be a singer at the saloon but instead work on the family farm. In the end Matt Dillon (or I think perhaps it was Miss Kitty) convinced the father to watch his son perform. Super Cheesy episode. I don't recall what he sang but I do remember thinking how much he sounded like a female. He sang SCARLETT RIBBONS. I seam to remember him sing that german song Danka shane ( I know it is spelled wrong but you can figure it out) As for sounding like a female he did. That was the issue his father had, and it was Miss Kitty that put him on stage. Interresting thing is I have never seen a rerun of that episode. Nor his he listed as every being in Gun Smoke.
