Shindig and Hullabaloo were definitely the highlights of the week, TV-wise.

If this song doesn't make you want to dance, or at least start jamming, you might not have a pulse.

[@rolandkennedy80]

All the bands back then were always genuinely smiling. Almost surprised that ppl were out there dancing and singing to their music. So young and humble

[@Fedproman]

This is from someone who lived these days. The times were not carefree as they were in the fifties. Lots of stuff going on with Vietnam etc, but the music helped us all get through. I look at this now and remember how special it really was. To be so young and have so much life in you that you just couldn't sit still. You had to get up and dance. And the way it felt when you danced! This video reflects that mood so well. Thanks for bringing a little taste of it back.

[@joannegordon7230]

[@hak4890]

This video fascinates me. Of course, I love this song, but the format of the dance set really interests me. There are the go-go dancers in front, dancing in sync with each other, and in what appears to be matching outfits. Then the folks behind the band are dancing their own individual style. Then, there are these little groups of people just randomly dancing away! I love it. 😆❤️!!

Born in the late 80's and growing up through the mid 90's, my parents raised me, and my sister, with late 50's, 60's and 70's music because that's what they listened to. This is still one of my favorite songs.

[@jamesfox2579]

I'm so addicted to this song and its video and some of the moves that the dancers are doing remind me of my late (and much beloved and missed) older sister's cheerleading moves that she was doing as a cheerleader around the very same age as this episode of Shindig in 1965!❤️😁🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸

This song is a classic and no matter where you are or what your doing your going to start moving! Loved Shindig I couldn't wait for it it come on cause you never knew what to expect or who was going to be on but one thing for sure when the go go girls started dancing it was like heaven sent man those moves to this day amaze me! The Gentrys were one of my favorites and when they closed this show out you couldn't help but get up and dance!! No matter one anyone says ''ROCK ON"

This is my favorite dance tune of all time. I remember growing up as a kid in Citrus Heights, Ca listening to this song on 1470 KXOA in Sacramento. I think I still have a taped copy of Wolfman Jack playing it on his show.

[@davidgodley9420]

Best dance song of all time if you ask me. I grew up listening it on 1470 KXOA in Sacramento, Ca as a kid. This song rocks! Much later I bought a 45 of it at The Olde Record Shoppe in Diamond Springs, Ca.

Wish we could keep on dancing and hearing songs like this in 2016! No one could sit this song out at the dances I went to in 1965 when I was a sophomore at KGHS. My sister had the old 45 rpm record and I would sneak it on to my turntable when she was out of the house! One of the songs we used to practice dancing to in our room before going to the sock hops after the football and basketball games.

[@edwardwaynewilkinsjr.2328]

Origin,Memphis,Tennessee, U.S. MGM Records "Keep on Dancing" is a rock song written by Allen A. Jones and Willie David Young, originally performed by the Avantis on Argo Records in 1963, and covered by The Gentrys in 1965.The seven-member group of Treadwell High School (Memphis, Tennessee), alumni included Bruce Bowles (vocals), Bobby Fisher (saxophone, keyboards), Jimmy Hart (vocals), Jimmy Johnson (trumpet), Pat Neal (bass guitar), Larry Raspberry (guitar, lead vocalist), and drummer Larry Wall (replaced by Rob Straube)[1] and also with another member, Larry Butler (keyboards). The youths formed the Gentrys in May 1963 as a rock 'n' roll group for local dances, and were very successful playing for high school dates. In September 1964 they won third place in the Mid-South Fair Talent Competition and auditioned for the Ted Mack Amateur Hour. They soon became the most popular teenage band in the mid-South and in 1964 won the Memphis Battle of the Bands. In December 1964 the group was given a contract by local record label Youngstown Records, and made their first record of "Sometimes", which was very popular locally in early 1965

@thecountofbasie I think for Hart to go from The Gentrys and to professional wrestling, and make big business the way he has is a testament to his talent and hard work. I celebrate both his time in The Gentrys as well as his contributions to wrestling. He is a guy that just knows how to entertain.
