There's a bunch of stuff on this clip, notably Sam Cooke covering "Blowin' in the Wind." This is the song that inspired Cooke to write "A Change is Gonna Come," and all of this (including the performance here) happens in the year Sam Cooke will die by gun shot wound in LA.
The clip includes The Righteous Bros., The Everly Bros., and Bobby Sherman, and it ends with The Everly's and Sam Cooke singing Lucille.

The video of Sam singing "Blowin' in the Wind" on this episode is rather popular, but his impromptu "Shindig" with the Everly Brothers as the credits roll is a piece of Rock and Roll history--three of the initial inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame jamming together. Priceless.
