I love these AB videos where there's no performance and you can just gaze at the fashions of the time as people dance to well known songs at the time they were hits. It's fascinating.
The 80s.....the best years for everything....music...tv....style...videos....movies....and of course mix tapes for the love ones.....of i could....ill go back to 1979....and let me stay until 1990.....then...i dont care about anything else....
This really was an enjoyable time. We lived to be ourselves. You were free. I'm very BLESSED to be part of a generation that experienced such unique and true talent. We don't see nor hear this anymore. They're stealing from our generation and that's SAD.
It just does. I'm sure every single generation, and relative age before us and after us, will say and experience the samething. It's just life. Enjoy the tune -memories 😊
Great song, great show and the best decade ever! I graduated high school that same year and had the best summer ever before starting college in the fall. I miss the 80's! 🥲
This is so 80's it's ridiculous! It can't get much more 80's than this, other than this Thompson Twins video : (1) Thompson Twins - Doctor! Doctor! (Video) - UA-cam
She past away just days, literally 3 days or so in her sleep, smack in the middle of getting ready to head back to the studios and hope to release a single after so many years later. RIP
I wish they still had shows where people are dancing BESIDES, "Dancing With the stars" and "So you think you can dance". Why aren't there shows where dancing isn't a contest?
2 days before my 15th BDay! Although I did watch AB, I think by this time I was more into Soul Train. The Hip Hop & breakdance scene was just beginning to bust wide open, a long with that “Minneapolis Sound” - Prince, The Time, Vanity 6, Jesse Johnson, etc!

i agree, that show was great, but on kinda late, right? I love Laura branigan, but this is not really that much of a danceable song, but betta to body flow to it, not in the feet,,,she has better hits with Gloria, Shattered Glass and Spanish Eddie!
This is soooo 80's! LOVE IT! the 80's were the coolest decade ever!
I miss those days too, I was always finding an adventure, innocent times too.
I love these AB videos where there's no performance and you can just gaze at the fashions of the time as people dance to well known songs at the time they were hits. It's fascinating.
the positive energy in this video omg
YESSSS, THE VIBES!
1984... When l was young carefree and experimenting with fashion, music and love. I was forever young!
I graduated from high school two days earlier! I loved listening to Laura Brannigan's music because she had a great voice.
This music played too much in 1985, 1986..delicious

@HeartBDoctor
I did not know she didn't have a burial site. She was an outstanding singer and a beautiful woman.
She past away just days, literally 3 days or so in her sleep, smack in the middle of getting ready to head back to the studios and hope to release a single after so many years later.
RIP
I wonder what these people think when they see themselves dancing on the show now , I bet they say they were better times than now
R. I .P Dick Clark & Laura Branigan

LAS VIBRAS DE ESTE VIDEO OMGG
Que hermosa epoca

So you think you can dance is a spin-off of AB.
+Aud Appleton A new version of AB was proposed,but since Mr. Clark suffered a stroke,it was shelved.The surviving segment turned into SYTUCD.
basically american bandstand was going to be a reality show smh
Lindos !
saudades
que legal isso :)
1:16, remind me never to slide my hand down a banister again.

Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walkin'
Down the street of my soul
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me livin' only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control
Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of my dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never knows
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of a dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
Eu estava com 2 meses de idade nessa época
En ese vídeo sale mi mamá ♥️
Some of them were very nervous and stiff though 😅
Some of these people are dancing as if someone is pointing a gun to their head and forcing them.
It's not really a danceable song.
cathedral94 ..lol!!
Finally a crowd I can dance with and not feel self conscious or shameful.
Do you have any episodes from the late 70's? I know there are some on YT already. But I am always looking for more from the disco era. Being a dance enthusiast, I love the dancing from that time. Tell me if you have anything from that time you can upload.
@2:19 Beautiful!
this was shot before obesity kicked it - big time. Everyone had a flat tummy and none could dance
You are forgetting most of the people dancing are teenagers, although nowadays you also see lots of overweight teenagers.
i feel like playing vice citty lol
They're dancing really badly to a great dancable song, wtf?, Soul Train and Dance Party USA was the best dance shows of the 80s.
I mean American Bandstand was the best in the 1950s and 1960s. In the 1980s, there was more competition from other shows and the rise of MTV.
lol they white back then they werent dancers now they tear the danceflor up

Flash FM Vice City, Are you there?
Whats with the couples dressing alike in the beginning?
I asked myself the same thing
Wow
This is just to prove that there was just as much kak, & cheese about in 80s, as there is today.
GTA... REFUEL😁. 💃🏃
80's when girls were girls.
35 years ago yesterday. Yikes.
Timeout, what is Seth Meyers doing here? 00:20
Too bad i was six years old :(
3:16 quien es la chica , bailarina de profesion o una simple persona que fue a AB ?
White people trying to dance to this fantastic song
wtf is they diong moveing in a circle lol
Jame sa
ya cause soul train was mostly black
Being white has little to do with it, the 80s show Dance Party USA was majority white too and the dancing was a lot better than this lol.
i agree, that show was great, but on kinda late, right? I love Laura branigan, but this is not really that much of a danceable song, but betta to body flow to it, not in the feet,,,she has better hits with Gloria, Shattered Glass and Spanish Eddie!
Well, this was shot in the West Coast and Dance Party USA was shot in Philadelphia, where there is a more prevelant soul sound.
Before America got very angry and obese.
