Airdate: April 1, 1967
Here are a few nice, clear shots of the '67 AB dancers clapping along with Freddy. I spotted Stan Soburn, Jeff Stein, Theodosia Dayton, Bernie Kates, Diana Bower, Rick Kline, Leonard Smith, Sue Rose, Famous Hooks and Frank Vanderpuil. In a few minutes Frank and Judy Michaud will win the 1967 Swing Dance Contest. (Don Sanuskar is here somewhere too but probably just out of frame)
On occasion, like today, the show had to leave Prospect Studios and tape down the street at The Vine Street Theater where they had stadium seats. Some of the kids preferred them over the bleachers and some thought they were too hard to get up from to dance.
At the very end, Dick is being told to wrap it up as The Turtles are on stage and about to sing their new song "Happy Together". Freddy Cannon is past his heyday here but was always a fun guest. This is Freddy's second-to-last appearance on Bandstand. His final appearance was in August, 1974.
Gary @jthyme and I are still Searchin' Searchin' for more material to share. Thanks for sticking around and thanks for watching!
