Flatt & Scruggs aka Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs played themselves in seven episodes of "The Beverly Hillbillies". I seem to recall that they gave them some relatives to fit into the show. I found one clip so far from their various appearances:
Lester & Earl - Wreck of Old 97 - YouTube
The lady is Joi Lansing, who seemed to show up any time they needed a beautiful blonde.
Of course, they're the fellows who play the theme song though I don't recall if they do the vocals:
1966's cult classic - Blowup. The film's producers couldn't land The Who or The Velvet Underground, but they DID get the Yardbirds, complete with Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck.
Al Hirt appears as himself in these:
Rome Adventure
The Manhunter (TV movie)
Touched by an Angel, "Indigo Angel
Here he is in "Rome Adventure", where he's incorporated into the action quite a bit. They cut before the fistfight he gets into with the guy moving in on his knife-toting girlfriend, a fight that soon involves the whole place.
Louis Armstrong made appearances as himself in a number of films, including "Hello Dolly!", 'High Society", "The Five Pennies" and "A Song Is Born", which features a number of blues and jazz greats. Unfortunately, they do not have the scene in which he sings "Hello, Dolly!" with Barbra Streisand.
