Records by Vaughn Meader

"The First Family," released in November 1962, with Vaughn Meader as JFK and Naomi Brossart as Jackie Kennedy, sold about 7.5 million copies, became fastest selling record ever in the U.S. Producers Bob Booker and Earle Doud also have parts. Skits of note: Lunch with world leaders, the presidential rubber swan, the foretellingly titled "The Motorcade."
NOW AVAILABLE on cassette tape from The Political Humor Bookstore
"The First family, Vol. 2," released spring 1963. Sold well until assassination of JFK immediately ended its sales. Skits of note: Lessons in how to pronounce "Vigah!," Caroline's first date.
"Have Some Nuts," released spring 1964, recorded two weeks before assassination with no Kennedy material, a move to help broaden Meader's appeal. Skits of note: Labor-union featherbedding, commercialized funerals, cross-dressing Ku Klux Klansmen.
"T'was the Night Before Christmas," a single with JFK reciting White House-oriented parody to Caroline. Flip-side: JFK and Santa discuss mutual problems. A few copies were released to radio stations just before assassination. Never sold or released to public. Whereabouts of copies unknown to Meader.
"The Second Coming," released late 1971 about a return of Jesus Christ, played by Meader, to modern America. Skits of Note: Christ in Harlem, Christ and Feminism, "The Jesus Christ Show."
"The Last Word," a CD recorded in the mid-1990s, reportedly in Meader's hometown of Hallowell, Me. Meader said it is a humor CD on relgious themes.
