From Philadelphia - It’s Mashed Potato, South Street & Pony time! 😊
Here’s The Belmonts, after Dion left and The Classic 4, who would go on to have a stormy, spooky career before they learned roman numerals. 😉
Like the girl judges, I also thought “C’mon Everybody” was pretty catchy (I’ll give it a 82). To me though, both songs sound about 2 years out-of-date especially in this, the episode where they played “I Want To Hold Your Hand” for the first time only a few minutes earlier. (Chico probably hated that song too). Neither song charted but “C’mon Everybody (Do You Want To Dance)” was played often by Murray the K on 1010 WINS New York in early ‘64.
The regulars dancing here are: Richie Cartledge, Michelle Liebowitz, Gary Stapleford, Bruce Richard, Barbara Warchol, Bobby Baritz, Sandi Bartholomew & Ailyene Silverman.
Brought to you by me and @jthyme - Thanks Gary
Thank you for watching!

Hey there Aaron and Gary good to see a Bandstand clip back on this channel! Pardon my aging neurons but as I recall the kids were dancing the “South Street/Pony” to the Belmonts’ tune. Lots of energy. I know I’d never make it through the entire song nowadays. 🚦🐴

Hi Don! I hope you’re well. I definitely defer to your knowledge of dance moves 😊. You could teach a master class. Looking at it more closely, I think you’re right that they’re doing more the southstreet vs. mashed potato here. The feet in and out, going side to side, on those 2 moves still confuse me. I think the MP has more of a twist of the ankle in and out (inversion and eversion to be technical, 😂)? Are Bobby Baritz and Bruce Richard doing the pony at about 2:18? Did kids do the southstreet outside of Philadelphia or was it more of a local move?…so many questions. You’d think I’d have this down cold by now. 🫤 😅 Thanks Don!
@dancerdon9175
@dancerdon9175 Год назад
@@YCDTI You nailed the technical specs to the MP - inversion/reversion of the feet from the ankles down. Never thought of explaining the dance step in that manner. I’d expect no less from you 👍. Bobby and Bruce are dancing the South Street @2:18. The difference between the South Street and Pony are nuanced in the body moves. Both the SS and Pony are east coast moves. In the west the Pony morphed into the Surfer Stomp. All of those dances were from 1962-1963. In the John Waters version of Hairspray all the cast did a mean “Mash”. Waters nailed the recreation of dance steps from the era!!! Don’t defer to me for expert recollections. So many dancers of a certain age out there have expert recollections 😊. BTW you comment in your descriptor about the Classic 4 was outstanding and clever. But, then, your accompanying descriptors never disappoint. Kudos, props and all those out of sight accolades. ✔️➕🕺

Hey Aaron! It's an absolutely FRIGID Saturday in NYC & this just warmed me up, thank you! There's just something about early 60s music that is unmatched! Really, no matter the song, it just really gets your attention. The sound of the recordings, the simplicity of the lyrics & arraignment of the songs, the mono mixes (in most cases), the feeling. Glad to still feel that music, even though I was born way after this era. This was a great segment, I don't recall seeing 3 teens rate songs, or even dance to them. Those girls were rocking on The Belmonts' song! Thanks for this one Aaron, it was good to see this.

Another great upload, Aron! I met The Belmonts when they performed in Clear Lake, Iowa at the legendary Surf Ballroom in 2009 (I think). 2 original members....Freddie Milano and Angelo D'Aleo. SUPER nice guys. They said it was their first appearance at the Surf since Feb. 2, 1959 and said it looked EXACTLY the same as it did that night. As for "It's Too Late" by the Classic 4, it was written by Chuck Willis and originally recorded by him in 1956 Buddy Holly & The Crickets covered it in 1957 for The Chirping Crickets LP and a decade + later, it was covered by Eric Clapton/Derek & The Dominos. All great recordings.

The Classic 4 here was a band from Texas led by Bobby Osborn. Their song was on Countess Records in 1962, a B-side to a cover of "Wine Wine Wine". "It's Too Late" was a cover itself; Chuck Willis wrote and recorded the original in the 50s. As for this cover ballad, it was released under the Classic 5, who later changed to Bob Osborn and the Classic III. Hope this clarifies the story of the second Record Review selection.

The lyrics for - "It's Too Late" sounded familiar and I realized I had heard done by Derek and the Dominos -on the Layla LP. That was not actually the same Classics 4 who did those great late sixties hits was it? Did not sound like the great Dennis Yost. Their song "Traces" is one of my favorites.
@nuwavedave
@nuwavedave Год назад
Not the same group. The Classics 4 were formed in 1965, and had a minor hit, "Pollyana" - until the Four Season's' management killed radio airplay on it for sounding too much like Frankie Valli and company.

Here The Belmonts of “Dion & the Belmonts” fame are borrowing the hook from Gary U.S. Bond’s “New Orleans on “C’Mon Everybody”. The kids show a lot of comfort dancing to this familiar 1961 beat. I will stand alone on this comment, but this “Belmont” record shows the perfect example of the kids having a blast before the arrival of the British …I’ve always said that both genres / eras held their own merit.

@bradsense7431 Год назад
@@YCDTI Absolutely. Hearing some of these great songs for first time is a real treat being able to enjoy listening to over and over. I have thought about is how music from a persons youth can be special to them but some may sort of downplay it saying it is only nostalgia, or people stuck in the past remembering the good times but not the bad. I certainly believe nostalgia is part of it. The tunes do sort of transport our minds to slices of our past, but there is more to it than that. The reason I say that is because for myself hearing some of these old songs for first time they too are special to me and I have no memory of which to attach to those specific songs. It is the style or type of music from that period that shaped these songs and that is what I like so much. It is how songs sounded during that period of 1960s through early seventies that gets too me.

Aaron, The Classic Four are not the same group that hit with "Stormy" and "Spooky" in the late '60s. The Classics Four featuring Dennis Yost was formed in 1965. I don't know who these guys are, but it sounds like the record hole is off-center.

That was my attempt at being funny, but the names of the 2 groups are so similar, I should’ve put a winky emoji there or something. They are definitely not, or in any way related to, Dennis Yost or The Classics IV - one of my all time favorite groups.

I thought there were never any Black Americans on American Bandstand during its days in Philadelphia. The videos below prove that belief to be wrong. While there are Black teens dancing and even participating in the Record Review portion of the show, it is obvious the camera man is being instructed to do all he can to either not show them or only partially show them. On the dance floor, they are not positioned in the direct line of sight of the cameras. In fact, unless you are actually looking for them, you could probably watch the show dozens of times and not notice them. Being a true Baby Boomer, I watched AB every day after school, starting when it was a 90-minute show, then later when it was reduced to a Saturday show. I always thought there were no Black dancers until the show moved to Los Angeles, CA. I now know that wasn't true. Maybe it was because I watched it on a 12" b/w TV.

Both songs sucked...in all honesty. I'm wondering if those were the same Belmonts that were with Dion or not? If they were, there "trying to sound hip" sound wasn't too hip. The title of the Classic 4's song definitely fits it because that doo-wop sound they had was already outdated by 1964 and was definitely "too late" for the times. That Chico dude was definitely Mr. Congeniality, for sure.
