- Dick Clark Celebrates the beginning of a new sponsor.Beech-Nut Chewing Gum before introducing any of the evening's music.Thank you to Samuel Harang who recently uploaded the whole episode...here's the link to it • Dick Clark Beechnut Sh... I selected The Chantels performing 'Maybe' from this show.It was 1st recorded on October 16th,1957 & released in December.In January 1958 it went to #15 on the Billboard chart while climbing to #2 on the R&B charts...this has been thought of being one of the 1st sounds from a Girl Group.Rolling Stone ranked it #199 on their top 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time.Dick talks about the Chewing Gum after their performance while checking out the lighting system for the studio.
My Dad LOOOOOOOVED the Chantels, especially Arlene Smith!! Daddy, I miss you so much.😥😥😥
One of the best girl groups ever. Arlene Smiths voice is undeniably one of the best voices ever! Your dad had excellent taste! I love this group. I love the song I Love You So and The Plea, Look in my eyes, He’s gone, Every Night. No one like that in 2024
Arlene Smith was only 15 years old. What a voice!
Arlene later became a music teacher in the NYC DOE.
I had the privilege of working with her for a few years.
WOW! What Excellence
14 when she recorded it, I believe.
MAYBE one of the best songs of the 50's.........................
Maybe the best haunting melody ever recorded, Maybe, maybe, maybe?
Such a beautiful song ❤.
What a song and sang so beautifully
Memories Beautiful Woman Amazing Voice AMEN ❤️😘🌹🫶❤️
I loved this song when it first came out and I still love it👏🎶♥️
This is what you call music
No kidding Samuel....this came out 1 year before I was born but I remember hearing it for many years on top 40 local radio stations here in Moose Jaw,Saskatchewan.✌️🇨🇦
Wow he wouldnt even talk to them. As years went on DICK would intriview them on stage. This first time o ever saw them on tv
Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful!❤
Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Arlene Smith
I'm not sorry to spoil it for you but, it's MISS Arlene Smith because, there were no such thing as MS in 1957.
Um esplendor! ❤❤❤

Times were hard in the 50’s. Korea (1950-1953).
I loved the Chantels since 1958 as a youngun!
The best music to slow dance to and as a teenager back then, slow dancing with my bf who would later become my husband---#bestmusicbesttimesever
It’s 9/28/24 in Austin, Tx! Great song and singers of this era! I’m 75 and still rockin to the oldies today🥳🎶
The first word can knock you out
Damn music used to be so amazing!
🫂🙏🏾🤎🖤🩶🙏🏾
Lord can that lady sing
Arlene’s style of singing reminds me of a cross between Dee Dee Warwick and Patty Labelle. Perfect enunciation.
super guter song
Remembering how Beautiful being a teenager was back then, Oh the memories..
OH YES!! I MOST CERTAINLY DO!
Share a memory ……
Oh yes, segregation was all the rage back then..black people having to minstrel up for the all white audience. Oh good times..
60 years ago we had great music & shitty cameras
new we got great cameras & corporate noise
🎶😩 Sad, but true ...
Better technology. Worse talent.
I don't know anyone who didn't love this Song no matter what race you were!
What!?
What the hell does race have to do with it?
Arlene Smith and the Chantels from the Bronx. Just great.
BACK THEN NOBODY CARED...WE JUST HAD FUN..AND DANCED OUR A$#% OFF
What alternative universe were you living in?
We did care. We also had lots of energy, both to have fun and care..
Dick Clark didn't care about your race you was on his show
It was such a different world than today.
Dick Clark was the best - he treated every singer/group with the highest respect. One Hit wonders or a string of hits, it didn't matter.
Of course he didn’t mind black singers on the show entertaining the whites and white kids dancing to black music. He cared about race on his dance show. You didn’t start to see black dancers until he moved the show to California in 64. Alan Freed had a teen dance show that was integrated in the late 50s and it got canceled because it was integrated. Dick Clark wasn’t racist but he knew most of the people of the time watching was racist so he was slow bringing in black dancers.
Unlike Soul train
We didn’t have a TV in 1958. But, later watching American Bandstand, I was glad to see integrated audiences…. (From my small, hometown in Minnesnowta which was 99.99% white!)
i got goose bumps. That girl was singing that damn song
Yeah right I was just saying😀👍
Same thing happened to me
I always enjoy hearing it over and over and over!😮
Were any of you teenagers back when it was out?? I bet it was a great time. I can feel it when I hear the song. The Chantels need a biopic. It might be decades ago that they were famous but they are pioneers of the girl group sound. They need some recognition. As far as I know all of them are still alive except one.
It doesn’t get any better than this!
I was born 1 year after this song came out but I sure remember hearing it on Moose Jaw radio stations growing up in the 60s 🇨🇦
Thanks to Samuel Harang for uploading the episode and thank you for highlighting this clip. One of the most important recordings in rock history, and this is really the only video that I have ever seen of the original group performing.
Very cool.I never even realized that it was the only 1 out there with the original people.👍😊
What a great tune, and a great voice to deliver it.
This is the cleanest visual I've yet seen. Thank you so very much
Did my best to fix up the old video...wish I could do more👍🇨🇦
Fantastic, and how pretty and modestly they are dressed, like young ladies. Love the song and video. Thanks! 👏
Real ladies you are so right!
They got class, they got style. They ain't no hoes!
Arlene's voice is so big and the girls stand as tall
Funny thing is that this song came out a year before I was born,& grew up thru the 60s hearing it on the radio, but I never realized after re-doing the audio & cleaning up the video best I could from when I found it,that it would ever get this many views and comments.This canadian thinks that's so cool & awesome..🇨🇦
@@KellysClassics
Thanks for share sir 🙏
Greetings from Peru
☀️🇵🇪☀️
And perfectly on pitch. That’s a tough song.
That pounding piano is Richard Barrett
Who later discovered the 3 Degrees
Such good clear voices ❤❤❤
The real deal. The best stuff ever recorded. What a voice! Today's music doesn't come close.
BEAUTIFUL!
If there is a video I posted that surprised me (other than the Gary Puckett 2 song set from 1968 w over 550,000 views now,5,000 a day) is this one.It came out 2 years before I was born 'the Day Music Died'...& always remembered hearing it on radio for many years growing up.I always liked it too.👍🇨🇦
They were great!❤
HER VOICE !! The Whitney Houston on the 50's ! 🎉❤
Whitney Houston comes nowhere near in sound as this girl.
One of the most beautiful haunting voices ever.
This is so precious! Thank you for posting
Arlene Smith. One of the most underrated and generally unknown female singers of all time.
Arlene's singing brings me to tears. Always. Or Maybe.
This song lights my fire, and puts me right to the edge me and my friends would look at them how pretty, how they were dressed and could move like no tomorow so loved them, so. Me and my friends would get up. And try to singi like them,, every moment meant some thing to. Me,, special special special, what good times back in the day
I love stories like this.Thank you Angie.Im so glad this video I cleaned up is getting lots of views and great comments.✌️🇨🇦
There is one singer missing. Weren't there five? Arlene Smith and four background singers. Perhaps, that singer was ill at the time. I wish there was a video of the next song they did in the show: "Every Night (I Pray)"
Back then on many of these shows,especially this one,all performances were lip synced so if someone was missing in a group,they'd go on anyways.Even the Bay City Rollers have a performance on yt where they had a replacement drummer.Check out Everybody loves a clown by Gary Lewis & the Playboys.A famous drummer was in for replacement that night.
My mom, who graduated hs in 1958, loved this song. It's perfect!
This is when the Devil was not in the music
Plus it's sung by Teen Angels!
No He was , in the form of Tommy Matola , Allen Klein , George Goldner , Morris levy and others who pimped young artist ! Which is why we have the shit now
Such a sweet song and era, tears....
Unreal 🌊
Dick Clark lived to a very old age cause the lord gave him a very good soul he liked everybody he didn't care about your color of your skin he wasn't like other people who had shows that were trying to disrespect women singers or offend male singers this man was a icon we will never have another man like dick clark ever
Wow...you nailed it....unfortunately we didn't have AB in Moose Jaw til cable TV arrived in 1977.I was 18.Watched every Saturday from then til the show sign off.
The Lord gives everyone an equal soul and gives us all an equal choice to choose what we do with it! He didn't create robots to make one different than another or better than another but gave us choice to follow him or Satan.
Best version I've seen - thank you.
Same here...I remember when I was looking for this one how bad the quality was overall and with muddy audio.Glad you like what I did with it.👍😊🇨🇦
Incredible the lead singer Arlene Smith is just 15! Watched every show, Saturday nights.....loved it and looked forward to being a full tilt teen just around my corner. Endless cultural value with this one.
It's amazing to see Dick Clark hosting shows in the 50"s 60's 70's 80's and into the 90's with the New Years Shows! What an icon in the music industry that helped launch so many people's music careers! Praise for him is unending! Thank you for your love of music blessing people's lives!
Cool Anthony...now that I'm retired TV News cameraman/audio of 40 years I get to enjoy my 47 years of collecting performances
Graduate of Syracuse university, worked @ Wolf.
Outstanding Performance!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Class doowop
This was 2 years before I was born. What wonderful music ❤❤❤❤ God bless you girls.
Memorizing
Mesmerizing?
Lol correct ✅
The ultimate slow dance song from a great year, 1958, and sung by one of the early pioneers of the American "girl groups". With the immensely talented Arlene Smith at lead.
This gave me goosebumps.
WHY ANYBODY WOULD BE RACIST OR COULD BE RACIST REALLY BLOWS MY MIND ANY HOW. EVERY SINGLE LITTLE BABY THAT IS BORN COMES FROM THE SAME PLACE.... IT'S MOTHERS WOMB!!!!!!
DA. WE ARE ALL THE SAME. WE ARE ALL CHILDREN OF GOD WHO CREATED US. THE HOLY BIBLE WILL EXPLAIN THIS TO THE WHOLE WORLD. LET'S HOPE WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE FOR PEACE.
WE ALL NEED THE SAME THINGS.... FOOD, DRINK, HOME, JOB, EDUCATION, PARTNER, FRIENDS, FUN, HOBBIES, CHURCH. ALL PEOPLE NEED THE SAME THINGS TO SURVIVE, NO MATTER IF ONE IS BLACK, WHITE, BROWN, RED OR POKA DOT; FOR THAT MATTER FOLKS. LET'S JUST LOVE EVERYONE YOU MEET AS YOU LO VE YOURSELF. IT'S TIME NOW! & LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG.......
OVERDUE. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Angie 🌹
LET US ALL TRY FOR THE CHILDREN.
Fantastic message & very well said.✌️🇨🇦
✨️Chew that _BeechNut_ gum for some real fun ... ! 😉👌
Excellent performance always
I love it. Thank you for the upload ☺️
I love finding gems hidden in all thee old shows.You are welcome & thank you too 👍😊
Grind like coffee to this great song.
That was on my Birthday! March 1st, 1958! :)
BLESS YOU for staying with us, Arlene!
Even the angels bent down to hear this.
Que hermosa cancion estas eran cantantes porque lo de hoy nose como seles puede desir👍👍👍👏👏👏
It was always such a shame that Clark ALWAYS used recorded music and never let singers perform live both on Bandstand and the Saturday night show.
It all came down to the budget given to those programs.Many studios were never wired for live performances.Back then it would've been more costly & more labour's wire in these bands and performers unlike today where we can bring in audio snakes & such for live like the TV studio I worked in for 40 years.Once we put in perm amendment audio wiring,we had many more performers come on live to perform their music.🇨🇦
That's just about sums up everything 50s
Oh well those girls
I didn't get to finish but these girls are so hot they're so beautiful God bless them
They give me goosebumps
When I hear this song
Oh wow maybe
The song gives me goosebumps
Goosebumps🎉🎉 Fabulous vocals ❤
Straight from The Bronx!
This song is still a hit
No sexy red BS here.
Awwww! Memories memories❤❤❤❤
I loved the Chantels...nothing better
Just kids.. Look how young
Do they have anymore rare clips of the chantels featuring annette Smith singing lead
Let’s bring real Doo Wop back !!!!! Love these girls 🎉
Damn she’s all that and can’t be toped ! 😢 there will never be anyone like her
My mother had this song.....
💥
A torch song! I love it!
Great song its history
This is the Woman I was dreaming of in my adolescence: someone who cared so much. (Singing so beautifully was an option.)
Great music, there must be a higher-quality version out there somewhere?
I have never seen one.All the videos from this show were not recorded on good quality equipment.Back then these shows were never meant for re-broadcast.I think were kept to simply look back on.Same thing for 'Where The Action Is'.The TV station I was at for 40 years threw out tons of master tapes of shows we used to carry,but no longer do.What a waste.I worked on many of those shows.
@@KellysClassics I have subscribed to your channel, I have Video AI, which can improve old films I might give some a run-through and see how much they improve. Cheers Paul.
@savecolaclibrarynow let me know please how that works and if you recommend it.Thanks fr Kelly
The Version of the Photo and Video I bought is Topaz, it is improving all the time, the Video version allows you to upscale old video and it can make a very good improvement the only trouble is it tends to make the video soft, I have spent some time trying all I can but sometimes if the video is of poor quality the AI creates artifacts and people's faces appear plastic-like and some blur too but it is capable of removing a lot of grain. It is also painfully slow too, it can take 3 hours or more to process 3 minutes of footage. I believe it will only get better as time goes by and programs improve. Here is an old film of Chuck Berry I put through AI it did improve it: ua-cam.com/video/9YDYk7jjbeM/v-deo.html @@KellysClassics
@@savecolaclibrarynow thank you.
I was one year and three months old.
☝️🫶🫰have a pleasant day folks🐾
They were great!
Dick Clark is ageless, and his work ethic is impeccable!
It seems you could perform and entertain if you were so-called black...but ya couldn't be a member of the audience. Fascinating...
I doubt that was the case but I since I saw the odd one in the audience in that small studio,but if you watch some of the early Bandstands,blacks were amongst the dancers.They were in California so I don't think skin colour was a big issue like the deep southern states.Correct me if you think I'm wrong please.🇨🇦
It’s summer in a Chicago suburb and this song is playing on my little AM radio. Even for a little kid, it was magical.
The greatest girl group that has ever walked this earth.
wow, who would think this was available, yet alone on youtube... love the Chantels and "maybe"!!!
