Dick Clark Interviews Yvonne Elliman - American Bandstand 1978

[@friedchickenguy]

It’s hard not to adore Yvonne Elliman. And what a voice!

[@RickDanner]

I hear ya

[@danbasta3677]

Yeah, true, I do love how she sings, however, she kinda needs to wear a bra.

[@donnalombardo1135]

@@danbasta3677 why nobody today wears one like Jennifer Lopez she's always hanging out

[@sergioescamillanavarro1650]

Totally agree !!

[@nobodyyouknow8034]

She was my favorite singer in the 70s and I still come back to listen to her. I hope Netflix makes a series about her. I'd love to see her story

[@user-hd1qx2bd1r]

Dick Clark Always knew his interviewees, history and accomplishments, and then he made them feel genuinely comfortable and appreciated, never saw him treat anyone without admiration and respect for their musical talent. He was a big part of Music back then!

[@geoffhill6992]

Ive been in love with her since 1977 - she is special and unique

[@bonanzatime]

Even her speaking voice is Melodically Beautiful.

[@petev1606]

Soothing voice.

[@eugenelee3553]

God bless you, Dick Clark. What a classy and well versed host of a great show. I remember watching the American Bandstand in it's first broadcasting in Canton, Ohio, many, many decades ago. What a great song and a voice! A trendsetter for many Asian singers although the opportunity is still not available for Asian-Americans to get the spot light.

[@chriswylie9056]

She's such a doll!

[@davidhutchinson6377]

I don't have the words for how lovely she is.

[@John-yf7iy]

I do - plenty. Sex on legs, bad bootylicious babymama, smoking hot sex kitten, ...and so forth.

[@slide4180]

I'm sure EC enjoyed her.

[@jaybone23]

Had such a crush on her, and I was only a little kid! I was like 7 or 8 years old, and I loved "If I Can't Have You", and when I first saw her on whatever program it was, I told my grandmother that the lady on the TV was my girlfriend!

[@John-yf7iy]

How implausibly ironical! - because I told the lady on the TV that your grandmother was my girlfriend!

[@daisycarlos4133]

She's got a soulful voice and she's so beautiful.

[@McDonnell-Douglas-DC-10]

I love this girl. Her voice and she are very beautiful.

[@ElectrikArguement]

Aww... she seems so sweet. And amazing voice.

[@ivanojeda1691]

2023, and her music still brings hope to people.

[@nigelcora1]

To anyone thinking she was Hawaiian - Her dad was Irish and her mum Japanese. She only lived in Honolulu after her parents moved there. It's that combination of Western & Oriental blood that makes her sooooo beautiful. It would be interesting to know why over there is over 400 dislikes. It is such an iconic 70's song from Saturday Night Fever and had such a part of my life back then. More power to Yvonne Elliman, loved you then and now. Show less REPLY

[@plumeria66]

She looks full Japanese. I actually have a Chinese friend who looks like her.

[@mitchellbellardini7360]

400 tasteless people gave dislikes, seriously? I heard The Bee Gees perform “If I Can’t Have You.” They wrote it, but couldn’t do it anywhere as beautifully as she did. I still think she should have been a much bigger star.

[@i.m.7710]

Thank you! My only 2 year old grandbaby is Mexican Japanese Swedish Australian-Irish Lithuanian…she looks a lot like Yvonne! 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍

[@rogerhall4303]

In her live performances you not only get that lovely voice, but she exudes an energy that makes you wish time could stand still and that you could stay forever in that moment.

[@tangobango9653]

You can tell that Yvonne is for real. Great voice!

[@marios.sanchez]

Yes! The bueatiful yvonne elliman at the height of her career. She also appeared on american bandstand in 1977 I believe. Love her music🥰

[@gazoontight]

This was a great time in music history.

[@DawgYa1]

I remember her when I was a kid hearing my aunt play disco. I was about 7 or 8 I feel blessed growing up in the 70's

[@desertroad4378]

After seeing J C Superstar, this gorgeous woman was my all time teenage crush, but only a few years later I switched to blondes when Agnetha from ABBA appeared on the scene. I have to confess though that after seeing this interview Yvonne was a lovely person and a beautiful singer.

[@sammcniff1582]

down to earth - lovely singer lovely woman

[@brandnaqua]

so cool! This audio recording is very clear even by today's standards. It's cool how even before I was born people were performing and giving advice that still stands today. I love it! ❤️

she's so charming! And talented...

[@rodingentandem8278]

Thanks for you tube, iHeartRadio & the internet. I can go back in time when I was young to watch & listen to one of my artist Yvonne elliman.

[@cesarsanantonio499]

Luv that voice...😍👌

[@paulobtuble]

Beautiful lady with a remarkable voice. love listening to her. Sill got The Album.

[@whouster]

What an utterly gorgeous woman. Fantastic voice, charismatic, vivacious, and totally down to earth and unaffected.

Yvonne Elliman is TOO GORGEOUS!!’❤ Her voice is Incredible!! What an incredible talent!!❤❤

[@DoctorHyde]

Purely amazing lady...

[@davidhutchinson5233]

Loved that video of the tour she did with Clapton back in 77. that was epic.

[@donnalombardo1135]

Loved her in Jesus Christ superstar too

[@davidhutchinson5233]

shes beautiful

[@wheelzwheela]

You can tell by her speaking voice she can sing.

[@pheet]

glad we have this thing called "youtube".now i can see what i missed when i was in the navy.lot of times i was on ,duty or preempted by a game,etc..

[@richartrod]

Yvonne is a native of Honolulu, and specifically the Manoa neighborhood, home of the University of Hawaii.

[@shermangriffin4668]

I loved this show, so much!!!!! She was so beautiful and HOT!!!!!

[@realtruth529]

Wonderful singer and person.

[@bobs182]

She's got much more than a little bit of talent to go with her determination.

[@SpikeNLB]

Her homecoming concert at the Honolulu Blaisdell Arena was epic.

[@ricardocastro947]

I remembert the best times for her

[@williamstrickland3196]

I miss Dick Clark

[@writerforlifeify]

I love her speaking voice in addition to her singing talent. And that outfit...sooo 70s & sexy!!

[@John-yf7iy]

Wonderfully husky voice. And that bra-less outfit and jiggling action is something else alright.

[@writerforlifeify]

Funny you mentioned "jiggling action" because the brand of humor featured in that decade's biggest sitcom 'Three's Company' is called 'jiggle humor', most of which was supplied by the bouncy Chrissy Snow.

[@alexanderdelacruz9249]

Yvonne Elliman She's Really Beautiful And Pretty I ♥ Her

[@bonzotalonzo9072]

Not to take away anything from her talent, but I really respect how she admits she had some luck and doesn't pretend and hide behind some wall of vanity.

[@paulgrant1988]

❤ Absolutely beautiful!!.

She's amazing. She's even more beautiful now. This woman is immortal.

[@bonanzatime]

Mitchell Bellardini She seems so shy. But CLEARLY One Of The Best Singers Ever.

[@4mikeyd]

Probably because she is a Good Woman. And is so Beautiful inside and out, and has the Voice of an Angel. Because she wouldn't sell out. "Sell her Soul." The evil people in the Music Industry tried to ruin her with Drugs. I never knew until today, who She really was. But I always knew, when I heard Her Song, Her Voice, That She had to be Gorgeous. The more you look at Her, She gets even more Beautiful. I hope Her Life turns back around. She's a True American Beauty.

[@danbasta3677]

In what way should she turn her life around? She didn't let anybody evil get ahold of her, she gas children to raise to in which she returned to finish out her life with them raising them to be proper adults once they got old enough to be on their own. She didn't get involved in anything bad that I know of.

[@motez442]

NO WOMAN CAN BE MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN HER AT THAT TIME WOW..

[@RickDanner]

agree

[@4mikeyd]

Agreed. But there was also Olivia Newton John. Both of them Gorgeous.

[@barbarabuonincontro1990]

I always liked her to.Great voice.😉

[@adp5R3x]

Mr.Clark certainly spouts a pearl of wisdom , commenting upon Talent VS Determination ... Too many times i've seen Loudmouths shove themselves down everybodys' throats, while sensitive Artists sit quietly on the sides getting ignored

[@Modernaire]

Casey Kasem's American Top 40 from just before this big hit, tells of a forgotten story about how the producers or owners Jesus Christ Superstar paid her just $240, a stunner of a story of how the music industry exploited her as she saw the movie make MILLIONS of which she got just that payment. I wish Yvonne the best, we love and support you, hope you're doing much better, you deserve it! We'll always love you!

[@christopher-ke9nj]

An insult of a fee holy cow

[@artforlife2770]

So cute.

[@theonemodifier]

Make sure you add blasting sound effects at the end that were much louder than the dialogue: Ugh

[@carlos555yerald000]

❤❤❤

[@4mikeyd]

She is Gorgeous!

[@brianmortensen7933]

This was not the first time Ms. Elliman appeared on "Bandstand". She and, I'm sure, everyone else who appeared on the show knew his style. The idea, after all, is to keep it moving, particularly when an artist pauses to answer a question. And isn't it a little easy and unfair to trash a guy who's A) doing the heavy lifting of conducting an interview on what's HIS show, and B) who's not around now to defend himself?

[@tnawcwvictoria]

Exactly, especially the fact that there's such things as a time limit since abc and other networks have to pay for commercial breaks I remember seeing her 1st appearance when VH-1 aired reruns of AB called The Best of American Bandstand and Mr. Clark even said that she has a wonderful, passionate voice and boy he couldn't have said it any better God Bless Mr. Clark-a TRUE Class Act and God Bless Miss Yvonne Elliman R.I.P. Mr. Clark, until we see ya upstairs, So Long Friend

[@allthingsclassicrock]

Dick Clark was at that Johnny Carson level of interviewer. Knew how to get the best out of his guests.

[@TGGaineyProductions]

For people who are criticizing Dick Clark's interview style must not understand television production or broadcasting in general. When interviewing, you have to be quick and able to keep it going with no dead spots and you're under time constraints.

[@Nadia-lp8gr]

Yes we do, there are many interviewers who do it better

[@lemurianchick]

Her accent is unusual. I know her mom is Japanese but she grew up in Hawaii.

[@christopher-ke9nj]

Dick, the days when the interviewees matter Corden Norton Carr read and take on board God rest Parky every other intervier who knew his/her job. As for Yvonne how's life m'dear girl

[@Mike-ky9jz]

He's rude as fuck....cuts off every single answer with another question....acts like he did a few gaggers before the interview.

[@marcosahumada5896]

Dick Clark, ojalá hubiera sido menos egoísta y hubiese dado más importancia a su entrevistada, la cual contestaba preguntas a medias, sin que Clark soltara ese micrófono tan largo.... malísimo el entrevistador.y encantadora y bella Ivonne!!

No Dick it would be impolite to keep asking questions before she's finished answering the last one. I give him a 54 I just couldn't groove to him.

[@jamesgretsch4894]

MrRivendellknight he was on a time constraint. He had to move on to the next question one after another.
