Airdate: May 30, 1964
From Hollywood...
Here the kids demonstrate the Slauson Shuffle, a line dance done at the beginning of the clip. The dance, named after Slauson Avenue in LA where it was invented (I assume), was most popular in Southern California from 1962-1964.
While the Slauson Shuffle wasn’t “the biggest dance of the year”, what would you say WAS the biggest dance move of 1964? The Frug, the Jerk, the Swim or something else?
This was Round Robin's only song to make it to the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #61 in a few weeks and is at #97 today. Robin appeared on Bandstand three times to sing and promote the song, but it wasn't enough for it to catch on across the country.
The #1 song on the Bandstand Top 10 board and on the Billboard Hot 100 chart today is "Love Me Do" by the Beatles. Unfortunately I can't show it due to its copyright (I tried to post it but it's a no-go)
