Many Many Thanks I was/am the founder, leader, guitarist and one of three vocalists in The Gentrys. I sang this song "Keep On Dancin' "when I was 17. It was a number 4 hit record in September 1965. I am still performing and singing it today. I and all The Gentrys are honored and appreciate so much, your making our hit the soundtrack for this monumental, fun video. MOST OF ALL EVERYONE FROM HOLLYWOOD TO HOME LAND KEEP ON DANCIN' !!!

[@RetroTVCentral]

It was an honor and a privilege to make a video of this great classic from 1965. I'm so thrilled that you and your band enjoyed the video. The Gentrys still rock!!!

[@tgbluesman]

Larry, I saw you with the Raspberrys at the VCU GYM in 1975 in Richmond,Va. You guys blew the roof off....one of the best shows I ever saw!!!!!!!

This is such a great record I had to look it up after Jimmy Hart talk about it on that WWE Network.

[@frankschottel8629]

I read a long time ago that this song was cowritten with Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart. Any truth to that?

It is all back in a huge way.. There are tons of great new classic rock, oldies, neo-soul, psychedelic, everything.. Looks like the kids are sick of shitholer "music" and decided to rock instead!

[@fluffy1931]

yep the Cold War was a gas boomertard. Nothing like US & Soviet Union just a hair trigger away from nuclear war & total end of the planet. And just in case you missed it the Vietnam War was moar fun. And helter skelter with the Charlie Manson family as they hacked & slashed to the beat of the times. Which included anti war movement & student protest across the nation including National Guard using the student body of Kent State for target practice. Nevermid political assasinations like JFK,MlK and RFK and George Wallace. And to top it off Watergate and 'I'm not a crook' tricky Dick Nixon.

Beverly hillbillies

[@freeguy77]

Eddie Applegate ("Richard Harrison") playing her boyfriend on the show, passed away at 81 before the end of 2016, a few months after both Patty and her tv father, William Schallert, who died 6 weeks after Patty (Mar. 29) on May 8, 2016. Jean Byron (the mom) died a few years earlier, so now Paul O'Keefe ("Ross", Patty's little brother on the show) is the sole remaining actor alive from the nucleus of that family. He is now 67 (Apr. 1951 birth).
