bandstand 1 

Thanks soooo much for this post. I had caught up with American Bandstand in 64. I was too young to dance the earlier stuff with boys. As a teen, I moved all over the country, dancing and dancing. The girls dance in this video is EXACTLY how all girls were dancing....from Florida to California, from Pennsylvania to Colorado. This is the only video that shows just how I did it back then.

Living in Philadelphia, the Dovells were from Philky. South Street still exists as kind of a hip street just below downtown Philadelphia. This was one of the last weekly Bandstand shows taped at the old Channel 6 studio in West Philadelphia.

My foster Sister was a senior in '63, it's rare to see Bandstand from that year. Thanks !

Love the shout out to 16 Magazine in the first few seconds(Bandstand got it's second Gee Gee award from 16's fabulous Gloria Stavers)..

I was a Senior in High-School, South High, Denver, Colo., & I remember seeing this episode!! Awesome song--I still own the 45./ Wolfsky9

Boy that Bruce has the moves. RIP

Maybe not flat, but a different dance style had come by then. Kids are not holding hands as much. This is the beginning of standing opposite and dancing rather singly. I remember, as I was there doing this dance. I lived in L.A. from 64 to 66 and danced on the Lloyd Thaxton show. I like this video that shows the change.

This is the way to live.

@john100757 Hi John, they're doing something called The South Street. Come visit Bandstand's Best to learn lots more

This is the first song or anything else that says "hip hop" that I know of that later became a music style as everyone knows.

This had to be around 1962
