Better than any drugs.

Amazing! The detailed info you - our "YouCanDanceToIt" author. Following the guidelines of "who's who" in these episodes of American Bandstand sure bring the viewers to a more personal level of appreciation in the people back then. As said before by me: Dick Clark was a master in showmanship during his life time. He obviously like that 1960's collection of youth for the most part. I was seventeen-and-a-half when this March, '68 show was on. Sometimes I wish I had been in that select group of teens for an episode.

I was just born that year. What a great year! Honestly, most of the 'kids" seem older than they are. I think society expected people to mature quicker back then. By the time you were 15 and 16, you were expected to have a part time job and finish school. After graduation, provide for yourself. Now we have extended childhoods for people past 30 it seems.

[@sharonspencer2312]

That's so true. I worked since 9yrs old, taking care of a 2 & 4yr old for pay! I cleaned the neighbors house for pay at 10yrs; learning to never say I was bored! By 11yrs. I was put in the cotton fields w my bro & parents; all to teach me to stay in school! I was also told, "Don't get pregnant!" No instructions about how not to except, " Avoid every occasion for sin.". Someone should teach kids that people come from either a taking/hating base or a giving/loving base. I didn't learn that until I was 38yrs. old. It's 1 of the best things I ever ever learned in my life.

Oh, the memories! Too bad there weren’t time machines…I’d love to go back….just for awhile. Best time to be a teenager.

[@beachbum433]

I must get some help! I keep coming back to this clip to enjoy the music, and the dancers. In 1965, Jean Shrimpton, a British model (AKA "The First Super Model") came Down Under and caused outrage when she wore a skirt 5 inches above her knees to a function in Melbourne. It was Jean who changed womens' fashion for ever. Ever since I saw Peggy (e.g. @3:45), I thought she bore a more than passing resemblance to Jean. Around the time this clip went to air, I met The Light In My Darkness, who I thought (at that time) looked a little like Jean Shrimpton & then I found YCDYI & Peggy, who also looks a little like both of them. The Light & I are still together & my cup runneth over... I'll keep right on watching...!!!🤣😂🤣😂😘🤡

Well Aaron since most of the AB dancers were still in high school -- which had dress codes -- the ladies' skirt length was still a huge issue in 1967. Clothes worn on Bandstand had to double for daily wear at school. Skirt lengths would continue to be an issue for a couple of more years.

[@YCDTI]

Hi Don, Those sideburns are looking a little long today. Was the hippie movement working its way down the I-5? Lol, just kidding. You and Peg (I love when Dick calls her that) looked great. Be honest though, were you singing “....you and me endlessly” or “....you and me and Leslie”? Lol. From the ‘68 and ‘69 episodes, it looks like skirt lengths will get a lot shorter before they ever go down. I feel sorry for those teachers having to enforce dress codes in the 60’s.

That's a very good comment. However I can't remember any great bands from the last decade that produced any outstanding and longstanding hits.

My first summer job in 69 when I was 16, my first paycheck went towards buying a maxi skirt with a matching outfit on top‼️

The (Young) Rascals' guitarist Gene Cornish was raised in Rochester NY (my hometown!) and played in bands there before making that trip to NYC to join Felix, Eddie and Dino. One of my favorite groups. BTW - would you happen to have the Buckinghams' clip? (Don't You Care is a fave!)

[@YCDTI]

@Kevin Goins, I love watching the Ed Sullivan Show clips with Gene Cornish out front jamming on his guitar smiling. They were great! The Buckinghams performed “Kind of a Drag” and “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy” on today’s episode. Unfortunately I don’t have any clips of them performing or the kids dancing to “Don’t You Care” (another great song). Sorry.

I remember watching the big kids on my block sing and dance to this song back then.

I was 16 when this lovely record was released, and I wore very short Mini skirts, everyone in the UK did -- loved this record, its as my favourite and still is ❤️

I was living in El Paso Texas when this song came out.

I was 12 in 67 such a fabulous time to grow up

I was listening to a lot of Motown back then when I was 9 years old. My older sister was fun to watch at Band Stand, and then the Soooooul Train became a lot more funky.

To think these kids are in their 80s now. Looked more fun back then!

I was 10-years old in 1967. I'm 67 now, retired, grandfather. I'm saddened that my 3 grandchildren will never experience my era.

Love the girls who wear the short skirts, that is, girls who have nice legs and know it.

1967 was so cool... the first year my mom let me pick out my own clothes for school !!!

Love these clips! Fun mystery: Dona said she was 16 & her younger sister Peggy said she was 17...
