Horace Faith - Black Pearl

[@CZghost]

Is it strange that I got there from TOTP video showcasing the EXACT SAME choreography for Gershon Kingsley's 1969 "Popcorn" song? Did BBC use older footages for other music as well, recycling completely different airing? Too expensive to shoot a new video?

[@isshyboy]

This is the original footage for this song. They just played the Popcorn track and ran this video for some reason. It doesn't match at all. O this video you can actually see one of the girls singing to the song

[@TheMadSqu]

Thats the two of us then. I have to say that some of the moves to this track also don´t really fit ;)

[@ballhawk387]

Make it 3. The dancing looks way, way more consistent with "Pop Corn", which also fits rather seamlessly with the clapping and announcer at the end. Way too energetic of dancing for this smooth tune. Evidently very little footage from c. 1970 TOTP still exists.

@@isshyboy They shouldn't have done that. Now we all think that 1960's teens or young adults were grooving to electronic music a whole 20 years before electronic music became a thing. It's like finding out Santa isn't real. ;(

[@christinehitchens904]

Such happy times dancing to this song mini dress and white boots if only time could turn back time people were more happy

[@antoonsuijkerbuijk9577]

[@andrewcosten]

Few stunners in there

[@BlaBla-jj6sh]

The girl at 0:37 followed by the girl in purple at 0:51 - now that's were it's at.

[@antoonsuijkerbuijk9577]

Why were all the girls that time so much more pretty then now these times ???

[@parreraz]

Antoon Suijkerbuijk They were being themselves back then. Less makeup,less worries and more focus on being just a girl:)

[@stuartjenkins6673]

i think it was because they were more natural looking then.

[@AndrewWilliams-zc1hf]

They were not stressed out with facebook & mobile phones then.

[@ballhawk387]

Life was not so "virtual" then and high-fructose corn syrup wasn't a thing.

[@MrLawman10]

i dance like the guy at 1.45 today, great clip all round, cool guys and beautiful girls , shame i was only 14 in 1970.

[@andrewcosten]

Hehehe I was not even born

[@stingray4real]

RIP Horace Faith

[@Glamking1]

IIRC 15TH OCTOBER 1970.

[@dancingduade]

At 1.16 and 2.06 - Waht was that girl in the brown top and her partner dancing to? Seemed like a different song? Seemed happy enough though. Mad as a hatter!

[@ballhawk387]

I think it was, an proto-electro-pop tune called "Pop Corn": kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJu3aHh5mqh-hZI&start_radio=1 But people commenting on the other video say this one. I think the dancing announcements, and hand clapping after the track was played are much more consistent with "Pop Corn". You decide.
