Bob McGilpin, “Sexy Thing”
Despite having some Number One hits, poor Bob has not seemed to merit a Wikipedia page. But you can go here to the agency that currently reps him.
Maybe you hit PAUSE when host Stefania Rotolo showed up onscreen in that costume. If so, here's a clip of her below.

Frances DuBay
"Frances DuBay (and her Educated Stallion) Vintage 50’s-era publicity still promoting a ‘Broadway Roadshow Productions’ film recording of her: 'LADY GODIVA' act. The horse was a mare named 'Melody Lady', and disrobed her during a strip routine; as well as performing a variety of 32 other tricks."
Apparently she ended up in court in LA in 1951, but I can learn no more than that.
