Thank you for your service for our country Paul. My brother was in Nam too. I wish you nothing but the best. Take care of yourself.

[@dona62851]

Thank you for your service. Were you drafted or did you enlist? So glad you made it home. I was in 10th grade in 67. Just beginning to learn to protest. Our generation got to experience so many new things ... like that strobe light, modern art, electric guitars, etc. And we had the BEST music ever!

What a way to kick off Spring - an upload from YouCanDanceToit! featuring the wonderful Miss Brenda Holloway. Been waiting for this full episode Aaron. Just look what you’ve done. You put a 😀 on all your subscribers’ faces.

Did you ever ask Frank Vanderpuil who his barber was?! That guy not only never had a hair out of place but it was always the same length! He must have taken a haircut before every show! I know that Brylcreem and Score were popular in the mid 1960's (I had both including some thing called Stick-um for crew cuts), but I can't remember the hair spray guys were using. It seems that the longer shag look for guys that the musicians were already wearing (with bangs) wouldn't reach the Bandstand floor for a year or two. The "layered" David Cassidy shag for men wouldn't be around until the mid 1970's when we all started to go to unisex stylists. Younger viewers wouldn't believe we didn't even have blow dryers or mousse to style our hair after a shower and shampoo back then! That's why there was no body to anyone's coiffe or 'do!

[@dancerdon9175]

@@shave-a-thon3415 Good one @Shave-a-thon! I remember "The Dry Look" brand hairspray for men sold by Gillette. Plain old unscented Aqua Net worked better. LOL And you're right. Men's Shag haircuts didn't appear on the Bandstand dance floor for at least another year or more. High Schools still had a dress code and guys' hair could not exceed the top of the shirt collar. I got yanked out of my high school graduation rehearsals until I trimmed my sideburns. Nope, younger viewers wouldn't believe why our coiffes were impaired.

[@shave-a-thon3415]

@@dancerdon9175 In the early 1970's, my father would be waiting by his car outside my high school for me to to come out. He would say, "Let's go. It's time for a haircut!". High school dress codes and hairstyle rules had changed by then and even some of the male teachers were wearing ponytails! I'm trying to find out when "The Dry Look" first came out. I think it was around 1970 or 1971. Here's the commercial. I think after a 5 second spray of that stuff, even a 40 mph wind couldn't move one's coiffe! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXWnnWt5is10r6c I had a different version of the Gillette Max for Men hair blower. It was narrower without as much power. This was about the earliest thing men had to give themselves a decent look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4q2mneXmLuCsM0

[@dancerdon9175]

@@shave-a-thon3415 Thanks for the flashbacks! Wouldn’t you know the year after I graduated from high school the dress code was lifted and all bets were off. 👍

[@shave-a-thon3415]

@@dancerdon9175 You're very welcome. In JHS (late 1960's), I kept hearing the Asst. Principal make announcements that girls "are not allowed to wear culottes to school." Until recently, I didn't even know what they were! They're so benign compared to styles today. A few years later, girls were wearing jeans to high school. Even though dress regulations were loosening, I couldn't imagine girls coming to school back then in the spandex like tights they wear today, or the skin hugging jeans.

[@AmericanBandstandAgain]

Hey, you're back! Really decent quality.

[@richardlawson4317]

6 days til I graduated from high school, I think I saw this episode! It was super excited! To go back there now, I would give anything.

[@danpoelman2272]

Love the intro of the dancers - great to see the faces and their names. Thank you Aaron!

[@denisemarie6029]

A bit before my time at only being 3 years old but I can appreciate this era. Kids are pure innocence compared to their grandchildren today.

[@danpoelman2272]

Ditto, I was 2. Awesome to see my cousin Frank dancing away. Plus you got to see to live acts. It’s anemoia for me watching these videos and reading the comments.

[@haraldssongs264]

Erinnere mich gerne an das Jahr 1967! Ein gutes Jahr für gute Songs.

[@italoman9]

Doesn’t get much better than The Supremes at Number One being danced to, and then later an awesome performance by the fabulous Brenda Holloway! 🥰👍

[@dwaynewladyka577]

I'm a fan of Jeff Beck. Such an amazing guitarist. Cheers!

[@jameshicks8634]

Makes me think of Van Morrison when I think of who you're talking about I always thought he was really good I'll never forget seeing him on Saturday night Live about 38 years ago

[@jameshicks8634]

Wow look at that this was done one day before I turn five and boy what energy me and the girls cutting the rug in the front room floor taking turns watching American bandstand 🙂🆒

[@csmelen]

You spoil us Aaron with two AB videos in one day.

[@pinedelgado4743]

How about THAT????!!!! The start-up following the listing of AB dancers is a KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES ad featuring The Monkees!!!! WOW!!!! I didn't know The Monkees plugged KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES!!!! I never even thought they plugged ANY breakfast cereal!!!! MAN!!!!

[@gregoryjgarcia3862]

I saw an episode where they sang the Kellogs jingle in the same spot as their scene. I think Peter was picking banjo. 🎵

[@funkibloo3811]

Lol! Got a kick out of the strobe lighting. Special effects/Technology!😂

[@alanspagnolia9474]

WOW! Brenda Holloway; Gorgeous Gal - Sensational song !! Years ahead in style. A fine Motown Artist, that should have gotten more recognition than she did. When she would get to the word "ooooh", and did that move, I get weak !! BTW: Loved this Girl @ 17:32 getting down !!!

[@yossarian6799]

You should meet her in person. I literally can not collect the right words to describe her.

[@davidfrehlini968]

USMC 64 -- 68. Well this is one I did not get to see. I believe we had just arrived in Portsmouth England a couple or three days earlier. And some of us were on Liberty call in London. But we did spend a little bit of time there during the Summer of Love. But I loved it in Masino Sicily.

[@melaniexoxo]

Its also interesting to me to see JP just starting out in life here, and today he has a YT channel where hes uploading videos to leave a legacy. Time really does fly.

[@melaniexoxo]

Famous Hooks has the coolest name lol. I love it!

[@annahshoffner1871]

I had just turned 8 years old and I remember the songs and the commercials. And of COURSE Famous Hooks and June Strode !!! Don, Frank & Peggy.

[@melaniexoxo]

John Pollard and Marcia Silverman are honestly two of my favorites

[@wynnssecret8584]

Melanie.......I love John Pollard too! ( thought I was the only one...lol ). I've always thought of him being the "hippest" one on the floor 😉. Phil and Peggy (I think) made a cute couple, but John's my favorite for sure.....

[@melaniexoxo]

@@wynnssecret8584 Yes same! I have a lowkey crush on him lol

[@TakaiAkita]

John Pollard is cool. Does it still exist?

[@thewilscott]

Thanks for this posting, You do a great job.

[@jameshicks8634]

Man I love this footage

[@garypamatat3167]

The lead singer of the Electric Prunes looks just like Glen Campbell RIP Glen. I love the EPs

[@mauricebederon869]

Brenda deserved much more attention in those days!!!!

[@amsedelm]

Awesome!!! Brings back memories. 8)

[@Nikes62]

"Mirage" by T.J. and the Shondells is such a groovy tune! They were one of my fave groups.

[@kansascomet8473]

Jeff Beck! Certainly one of the best guitarists ever. My favorites from him are Going Down and Beck's Bolero!

[@gregmoore7709]

In part 2 , the radio record player was nice for the kids to get for free.They did have there problems though. lol I remember the antenna was weak and would fall and the arm for the records would fly around when you picked it up.Yes.. the good old days ha ha ha.

[@novawagon1965]

I'm surprised to see that tune by the electric prunes was number 6. Don't recall ever hearing it if I did it was one of them songs that you heard for a week and then went away it must not have been a big hit like. I had too much to dream, back here in Ohio

[@keithidota]

I forgot about this episode until we got to Famous's "I'll paint my own" comment and the special effects on "Little Bit O' Soul". Was the 5/30/70 episode blocked due to length or copyright issues? The descriptor had my name on that one lol.

[@YCDTI]

Good memory as always Keith. I’ll be chopping that ‘70 episode in half and posting it this week, with the original description....and your name...intact.

[@gregmoore7709]

Great video

[@gregmoore7709]

Personally in 1967 , i loved the spotlight dance.So cool back then.The song a little bit of soul is such a great tune

[@senorxrey6429]

Talk about crazy: ABC had the new Glory Light ON LOAN from International Kaleidoscope, with Charlie holding it all the way through "Little Bit Of Soul". Soon they would be sold at Spencer's Gifts at an affordable price!

[@fabianscmll745]

Ah yes who can forget the turtles great music great band plus the grearcereal commercials

[@jenniferchan3950]

I love those were the days ! Ha!

[@jameshicks8634]

Check out those duds and that dancing

[@johndigrazio7704]

Song selection ok..would have maybe preferred some live performances. It was a classic show though.

[@lindutchka]

I wonder, is that painting worth anything today? Wouldn't that be a hoot.

[@sherirobinson5112]

Lip sync was the norm...I had to check 1967 top 10 to see if all the music was this bad...I sense some PAYOLA lol... this half was much better... Brenda Holloway was great... Intro to strobe light-AWESOMENESS ... little bit of soul is a great tune

[@shave-a-thon3415]

Were Barbara Prentiss and Pat Moriarty born with those stunning profiles? Women paid thousands over the next five decades for the beautiful, perfect noses those two young ladies had!
