American Bandstand 1966 - Hungry, Paul Revere and the Raiders

Airdate: June 18, 1966
”Hungry” will be the 2nd top 10 hit in a row for Paul Revere and the Raiders, the follow up to ”Kicks” (#4). Today it is brand new on the charts entering at #82 and will peak at #6 by the end of July.
In the studio: if you listen carefully you’ll hear a minor “blooper” at the very beginning of the song as a mic is accidentally turned on and you can hear someone talking (to me it sounds like Charlie O’Donnell?) The regulars spotted dancing today are: Marcia Silverman (1:57), Debbie Sewell (3:23), Melody McMurray (3:21), Maureen Cohen (3:28), Steven Schreiner (3:44), and Lori Montgomery (3:51).
Brought to you by “Arrid Action Spray“ deodorant. Lazy, do-nothing families need not apply (did the “active” family all share a single can?)
….And yesterday, June 17th, 3 people were murdered at a grill in Paterson, New Jersey. Professional boxer Rubin ”Hurricane” Carter was arrested, tried and wrongfully convicted of the murders and served 19 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. His case was reopened and he was freed in 1985 based on lack of evidence. His story inspired the 1975 Bob Dylan song “Hurricane” and the 1999 Denzel Washington movie “The Hurricane”.

[@trumpsmessage7777]

Life was so simple back in the 1960s. All any family needed was a can of Arrid "Action Spray" around to keep things in balance.

[@nuwavedave]

Paul Revere & The Raiders had it all! They were a good lookin' band with the right clothes, the right moves, the right songs, a lead singer who wore a pony tale, and Dick Clark's belief in their talent. If I had to compare their sound to a Brisitish group - it would be Eric Burden & The Animals, who have to receive major kudos for creating the big, fat R&B sound that so many bands used as a springboard.

, Paul Revere and the Raiders were more then groovy, they were supercalifragilistic expialidocious!! they should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as one of the iconic influential sixties bands, but instead their page has been ripped from rock n roll history. They had 700 or more television appearances. Which is more than the Beatles the Stones The Kinks The Yardbirds the birds the animals all put together. Little Steven Van Zandt of Bruce Springsteen's band told me here in Dallas a couple of years ago that they will never be deducted because they were to entertaining and also wo re costumes.. That sounds like a reason to be that they should be inducted, they were unique Ed original! Every foxy chick in the USA has a pair of Lehigh leather boots in her closet. tha NK you Paul Revere for started that worldwide fashion trend.. Long live Paul Revere and the Raiders 1960 - 2014, 54 years of rocking insanity! H o w d y from Dallas Texas

Dude, you do know that only the opinion of Jann Wenner matters when it comes to that place? Beastie Boys, Madonna, U2, Ramones, Velvet Underground? You've got musicians that can't play their instruments, one lady who was more about marketing herself than anyone else, one hit wonders, no hit wonders, and people from a certain religious / ethnic group. No need to wonder why they aren't in there.
