Jan. 6, 1965 - Tonight on “Shindig,” actor Sal Mineo, 25 years old, will perform as a vocalist. This will not be Mineo’s first foray into musical performance. In 1957, he made a brief foray into popular music by recording a handful of songs and an album. Two of his singles reached the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The more popular of the two, “Start Movin’ (In My Direction),” reached No. 9. It sold over a million copies and was awarded a gold disc. Mineo’s most recent film performance was in John Ford’s “Cheyenne Autumn,” which opened last October. 8:30 p.m. on ABC.
