It was like we were in unison or the same wave length. I felt it for only being 10-11 yrs in 1967, but I listened to the radio daily and learned how to dance. Times of pure fun that seem so innocent now.

I was a kid of 10-11 yrs in 1967, so I was much younger than these teenagers, but I watched these dance shows on TV and learned to dance. Me and my cousin used to dance to the 60s music, and i remember how we loved "Happy Together" by the Turtles. it still makes me happy especially in these uncertain times.

Sane people having fun dancing. A much better time than we have now in 2019. No drugs mobile phones or computers. I remember this time so well. I bought a 3 piece suit that was made in Italy from Australian Merino wool. It took me 12 months to pay it off in installments. On with my suit into my 1956 Ford Customline and off to the cabaret. I looked and felt a million dollars. We had it all,back then, but the world was too stupid to realize it. If I ever get to heaven I want to live in the 50s, 60s and 70s, have a nice simple girl with no tattoos and just have fun again.

I remember running this continually through my mind during long runs in basic training for the Army the summer after high school. I've since read the backstory about the singer and the song, but still remember the North Carolina dust that summer and thinking about a certain few girls as I ran around Fort Bragg. Oh, I thought I wasn't a good dancer, but compared to the guys in this video I was pretty good. Still can't think of the song without imagining carrying a wooden M-14 in a cloud of dust; the 16's hadn't reached training yet, we got those in Vietnam.

In '67 I was 16 years old. I was in a band that competed in a "Battle Of The Bands". We did 3 songs...."The Letter", "Knock On Wood" and "You Keep Me Hanging On" (The Vanilla Fudge version). We came in 2nd. Good times. Back then we did a dance called, "The Skate". A lot of these teens in this video are doing that dance. "The Skate" became popular after "The Boogaloo". BTW...I'm 65...and I'm still in a band.

Use to sing this song with a dear friend , Johnny Ryan . Sitting on the steps of the building we lived in back in 1968 . we were 13 years old back then . Johnny and me both became friends and did 7th and 8th grade dances at St. John's school and ran track played basket ball , he was like the brother i never had . He passed away over 10 years ago , i hope and pray the Lord receives him with open arms and that his Mother is also there to receive him , his Mother passed away when he was 6 years old and it did effect the way he looked at life. And so being one of his only earthly brothers , i hope our Lord GOD in Heaven receives him with open arms. 1955

"The Letter" was a Monster Hit in '67 - so influential on other blue-eyed Soul and R&B bands who would follow, particularly, Creedence Clearwater Revival - yet The Box Tops were still Memphis teenagers when they recorded this gem. Lead singer, Alex Chilton, has been often-immitated, but rarely equaled.

The thing about American Bandstand and other televised shows in that era, is that everyone could identify with all those people. They dressed the same way everyone did, wore the same hair, danced to the same tunes, worried about the same stuff. You didn't feel like they were separate and on some distant stage. It wasn't about "the star".

Each generation has their way of dancing, so how they dance was cool to them at that time. The Box Tops song "The Letter" was one of the biggest selling records World wide in 1967. It's still one of my favorite songs from that era.

The dancing may seem a bit boring but it's just ordinary people dancing the best way they can. There is something comforting about that. I so miss this era. Life keeps getting more and more fucked up and I really am saddened for the younger generations for how they will be forced to live their lives because we were too ignorant not to protect this way of life.

Joe G The most embarrassing thing about this dancing is that...I used to dance like that. Actually it is much more fun to dance than to watch. As teenagers we used to dance like that for hours, in our local disco. It was a great way to know the girl without getting too much sexual, which we were not ready for yet. This is free style dancing. We called it "Shake".

its funny watching this and remembering how I raced to the tv every Sat. to watch this. Dick Clark once said in an interview when he was trying to get this on tv, network honchos told him, "Nobody is gonna wanna watch teenage kids dance for an hour!!" This show ran for like 40 years!!

1967; straight outta American Sound Studios in Memphis, with a 16-year-old named Alex Chilton on lead. The perfect song for when you mistimed the backtiming into the news at the top of the hour; fading anywhere from 1:30 till the song ends at 1:57. Joe Cocker covered it in 1970, with a completely different arrangement, and it hit again. As for AB, it was still on weekdays in some places on ABC; no dirty dancing allowed back then.

"Did you know that "The Letter" by The Box Tops was a minute and 58 seconds long? Means nothing. Nil. But it takes them less than two minutes to accomplish what Jethro Tull takes hours to not accomplish!" Phillip Seymour Hoffman's fantastic monologue in Almost Famous took me here...

On the commercial flight taking me to Nam, summer of 68', there was a headphone set up that had about a dozen songs on it.This was one of them. I played those songs over on over most of the way. A few months later I was on a stretcher headed back to the USA.
