1960s television host Lloyd Thaxton passed away this week at the age of 81.  Check out this classic clip of him lip-synching “Getaway” by Georgie Fame (the song is kind of awesome, too).

So very cool. So very charming. So very Hollywood.

You can take a look at the piece the LA Times did, if you’re in the mood for a little more nostalgia.

RIP, Mr. Thaxton.
