I was growing up in Huntington Beach CA. (the Original Surf City) when these Beach movies came out. Use to watch them multiple times at the old Surf Theater. Love the music and the simple story lines.
Candy would do a show each night in Palm Springs then drive to L.A. to be on a film set by 6a.m. She subsisted on donuts, coffee and soda to keep her energy level up. What we do for art!
You too,!! I went to all the dance places back then and I even tried a little Go-Go dancing and of course I used a lot of steps that Candy used. Now in my golden years I am suffering from extreme osteoporosis and I've had about six bones break in my back but what is surprising to the doctors is that I don't need to get around with a wheelchair or a cane or anything because my legs are in good shape yep even at 74 and that's because of all the dancing I did when I was young and even now sometimes I'll dance around the room as best I can and my birds look at me like I'm a little crazy but I don't care. I have to believe that watching candy when I was growing up and trying to do her steps help strengthen my legs for my old goalie years
I've always marveled at the level of conditioning she must have possessed to dance with such intensity. I don't think she had on ounce of fat on her! Aerobics of the pre-jogging generation!
Doesn't she have strange superpowers from her dancing? 😂 I remember she be dancing and she sticks out some hip pose and some dude would be flying across the room.
I downloaded this video because of the funny cameo appearance of my favorite horror film actor, Vincent Price, especially the part where his eyes open wide and make me laugh. They're the funniest pair of eyes he ever had in his head.
Someday 6-inch-tall holograms on a base will be available to buy for entertainment or decorative purposes. What you see here is what I want: Candy Johnson dancing to Beach Party! I could watch her over and over again!
Sorry to see you go Candy. I just found out about this and it seems that you valued your privacy. In a world of internet communication, your continued anonymity was a collossal feat. RIP
Ohhwolfy, she did pass away on 10/10/12. She had been in treatment for brain cancer for some time and after all efforts by her doctors failed she went to a hospice in Corona to live out her final days. After her Hollywood career ended in '64 and her dancing career a few years later, she became a recluse and kept a very low profile.
There’s no evidence of that. When the Bow Wow Wow song was released in 1982, it featured a female singer singing about a boy. It’s totally ok if you think of this as a theme song for Ms. Johnson, however, because she *is* pretty awesome!
@@BalBurghThe original song was from 1965 by The Strangeloves. Bow Wow Wow was a cover. The writers did attribute the song to Candy Johnson after seeing her dance at the 1964 World's Fair in NYC.
Yeaaah.....OK, too bad. I still had hope because since she left show business nearly 50 years ago no one had heard much - if anything - about Candy, let alone her death. If that's the way she wanted it, so be it. She no doubt deserved her privacy. You seem to know many details on her passing. Thanks for verifying that it's true. RIP Candy, you certainly made ME smile lots of times!
I believe "our" Candy Johnson is still with us. Wikipedia says yes, she passed away. But the Wikipedia site is easily edited and manipulated. Doing a lot of research (Google & news search engines) I found no evidence that Candy passed away. I did find out that another Candy Johnson - a former staff sargeant - passed away this past October. I think the two were confused.
This shure worked for me when I was ten, (still does) and I think the bare feet go best during a dance routine . . . somebody tell Beyoncé'. I'm sure everyone in the world would like to witness that
Its a cruel, cruel world were a 15-16 year old guy cant look forward to banging a hot 28-30 something year old broad like this for an adventure !!! Cougar hunting and mad MILF moms ruled , yes i was an over sexed punk ! lol Sad, sad world we live in today i feel sorry for the kids !
