Shebang 1966 -1st Anniversary Show- I Know A Place, Petula Clark
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2024
- Airdate: March 22, 1966
Dick Moreland (DJ on KRLA), Dean Torrence (Jan & Dean), and Mike Clifford (“Close To Cathy”, ’62) drop by to surprise Casey Kasem in this segment of Shebang’s first anniversary show. Mike Clifford mentions the song “Batman” by Jan & Dean which had just been released a month ago. It was part of their new “Jan & Dean Meet Batman” album, released to capitalize on the popularity of the new “Batman” TV series. Sadly, in less than a month, Jan Berry will suffer severe head injuries after being in a car accident on Whittier Drive, very close to “Deadman’s Curve” on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.
“I Know A Place”, which peaked at #3 back on May 1, 1965, was Petula Clark and composer Tony Hatch’s follow-up to their #1 hit “Downtown”. In 1966 Petula won the Grammy for “Best Contemporary Vocal Performance (R&R) of 1965-Female” for the song.
As American Bandstand and Shebang were taped only about 2 miles apart and both shows were produced by Dick Clark, there were several AB regulars dancing here today including: Famous Hooks (0:59), Melody McMurray & Jeff Hight (on the riser 1:18), June Strode (1:45), Steven Schreiner (1:58), Terry Cooksley (2:06), Buddy Schwimmer (talking to Casey at 2:12) and although she isn’t seen today, Peggy Waggoner was there as well. Check out the invitation letter and the ticket for today’s special episode in the “Community” tab, provided by Peggy (Waggoner) Names…..Thank you Peggy!
Just look how nice everyone looks! Well dressed teens having fun! Today’s music doesn’t hold a breath to just how great the mid-60’s were! 1966 forever!
That was the BEST year of my youth!! Truly memorable in several ways.
I was just 9 yrs old in 1966. Still, I had such crushes on older girls! Lol And you are absolutely right-today's music lacks so much!!
I was 5 yrs old ...was the world perfect then.....no....but much better than today's........sorry to say!!
@@georgeanthony7282 Did you get an older girl in the end?
yea few dress up anymore but when you find someone who does it catches your eye, even when I was in early collage just after the turn of the millenium people still dressed up or at least did preppy to a degree, its come back for some but its the lesser liked aspects of the 80's that I see the clear rim glasses for esample or pinkish colored shirts, though some like me and many I associate with while volenteering on the historical railroad soc or at church, wear at least buisness casual, or you know timeless across generations button down shirts, or a hat of some kind like a fedora, that look a bit more rugged, or at least skilled trades and cozy looking and slightly dressed up and modest or at least not just sloppy.
I remember being on that show in 1966. What a beautiful memory.
Me too! I actually won one of the dance contests.
I remember seeing The Beatles at Dodger Stadium in 1966.
Bet it was a great time to be young
Every girl on this video is pretty--so which one were you?
Watching this Jan 31 2021......55 years later......loved seeing their smiles 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
Beam me back to 1966. I want to be on Shebang.
Clean cut kids, dancing to Petula Clark, over 50 years ago ! BTW: this song was my favorite by Petula Clark. I remember this song well !!
The video of her singing Sign of the Times is worth checking out too. It's in color, and has that Austin Powers look to it.
@@oldiesgeek454 Love this... where can we find the Sign of the Times video?
@@annemoore733 Go to UA-cam.com and type in Petula Clark A Sign Of The Times. Then click on the thumbnail pic with the time length 6:46. Let me know how you like it!
No tattoos, ipod ear buds, nose rings or spacers stretching their earlobes out as coffee mug holders! Good times!!! 😛
Loved this song while seeing neighbor kids get their draft notice and on the Vietnam .
Ever notice, strangely enough, how cool 2 people look when they are talking business, while all around them, people are dancing/partying....i.e. Dean Torrance and Casey Casem.....great glimpse into the past!
Yes. Kasem.
How respectful back in the 60’s now this generation . Wild wild
kids look so young and fresh. so glad I was a part of this generation. the best times ever. what a great time.
Just think ...most of those dancing kids are approaching 80 yrs of age...hard to believe !!
I love Petula Clark! God bless her. I also love Shebang the 60s were amazing.
Love this Petula classic. The dancing, the color clip, the kids. A young Casey, may he RIP.
Another gem and in "living color"...
I'm still dancing to this song today! Just super! ...I know a place where we can go...the hip happening 60s!!!
Thanks for posting this great clip!!!!
Thank you Mosogotam, and may I say your extended version of this song (and so many others) is absolutely incredible.
@@YCDTI You are most kind to say that.....thanks so much!!!
I never saw this show, but great clip! Thank you Peggy for providing the letter!!
Casey Kasem and Dean Torrence are legends!
I had such a crush on one of the regulars on the show. Her name was Lynn and I thought she was so beautiful. Nice to be able to see her in these Shebang videos!
So many great songs from Petula Clark with this being my favorite. Too bad Shebang didn't last longer Casey Kasem made it a fun show to watch. Great to see the adorable Melody McMurray dancing in this footage. Thank you Aaron for another great video from the wonderful 1960s. - Jeff
ABdancers I so agree about Petula Clark and the show.
And yes, Melody McMurray was a beautiful young lady and her fun, bubbly personality really comes across in the RAR she did and her dancing. Great comment, thank you Jeff!
Hi Jeff: Got me wondering how long did "Shebang" last....And I'm assuming that it was viewed only locally in the L.A. area (?) Maybe you or Aaron can shed some more light. Thanks!
mrob75 from what I’ve read, it was mostly local on KTLA in LA, from ‘65-‘68, but It was also syndicated in a few select markets mostly in CA. Every once in a while someone will comment they saw it in random markets outside CA like Denver or Phoenix (don’t quote me on those exact markets)
@@YCDTI very interesting...Lots and lots of T.V. dance shows running simultaneously during this mid 60s era...This would have been the era when television was becoming quite a force in the world of teens....And teens having their own little portable T.V. sets in their bedrooms for the first time.
mrob75 Hi Mario. I agree with Aaron that Shebang was mainly broadcast in California but I believe it actually started in 1964 as a daily dance show. Not sure if kept that same time slot until 1968 or not. Apparently Dick Clark created the show for Casey to host. Perhaps Don could provide us more information about this. - Jeff
Me encanta esta musica
Nice song, you can dance to...back when people knew how to conduct themselves. Nicely dressed and the girls did something with their hair.
Great surprise when Dean Torrence popped up! Looked like one of the dancers, just like the boy next door
Those were the days👍😀
Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars!
...and keep your radio tuned right where it is!
Wow, so many pretty young ladies here.
Those young ladies are all 53 years older.
@@ontarioguy2738 So is Andrew!
@@edmundpower1250 So am i!
Oh, but the blond with the beehive looks fine, I also saw her in a clip from this episode when they were dancing to "Its Not Unusual" by Tom Jones, which was the first song played on "Shebang" in March of 1965, according to Casey Kasem in that clip.
It's the well done hair, cute dresses. People don't dress like this now. I was one of those girls. On the show a few times. :-) In general, kids looked better then, not an epidemic of overweight like now (it's a real thing).
Awesome to see a COLOR clip of this show!
John Largan Yeah I thought the same thing
Most of the Shebang shows were in color.
This was a great northern soul hit, northern soul music was popular in northern towns of England, Wigan, Blackpool, Oldham ect and still active today, retro obscure hits of Motown artists, Jackie Wilson , Aretha Franklin and even Petula Clark had hits at these club dance halls.
"R.I.P. casey-kasem forever-shaggy in the scooby-doo franchises you'll be missed by everyone always & forever amen".
I didn't expect to hear this Petula Clark song but it swings. Also, she was a songwriter who wrote "You're The One" by The Vogues.
No way?! Really. Wow I grew up to this my mom was my dj lol I love the vogue that's my favorite song
@@rayromero4228 She definitely wrote "You're The One" by The Vogues!
This is great. I can't help but wonder how this original broadcast tape survived. Maybe they didn't make kinescope recordings of Shebang. This is the second clip of this show on YT, hope to see more!
For what it’s worth oldies geek, I know they saved 4 or 5 original tapes of Shebang on “special occasions” like the 1st Anniversary Show or the show they filmed at Angels Stadium in ‘67 (posted on YT). Why they saved even these few special episodes, I can’t say and as far as I know there are no kinescopes of Shebang. Bandstand saved several original tapes too, they are just stuck in the files at DCP.
@@YCDTI Thanks for the reply--Gonna have to check out that show from the Big A.
Hi AARON and super clip of "Shebang" today! Again, great research on your liner notes which I always look forward to reading. :---) Such a shame about Jan Berry...He would never be quite the same after that horrific accident. Ironic thing about Petula Clark: Teens were really into Pet's groovy sound without stopping to realize that this was a seasoned performer of sorts already in her 30s when her first hits seemed to be flowing back to back. (Mike Clifford...One of the nicest guys you'll meet even to this day.)
Hi Mario! It so sad and ironic Jan being in that car accident. J&D’s popularity was starting to wane by ‘66, but without that accident who knows what they might have come up with beyond what they did create afterwards.
I admit, I wasn’t familiar with Mike Clifford before reading about him this week. Have you met him? Is he still performing? Thank you for comment Mario , especially about the liner notes. I appreciate that.
@@YCDTI exactly about Jan Berry...What that duo might have done in the late 60s forward....I've always been a J & D fan including those early years when they were on the "Dore" record label...Both were regular visitors on "Bandstand" back in the day and always stirred up excitement with the kids. I've never met Mike Clifford, but used to visit his Facebook page when I was a member. Always a humanitarian looking for ways to help people. There's a couple of You Tube segments where Mike is on "Bandstand" and you can tell how much Dick Clark admired him.
@@YCDTI See my comment that begins @Aaron, @Jeff, @Mario
That was great! And in COLOR!
Oh here's another fun fact. Some of the Bandstand Regulars most notably Famous Hooks would also dance on this show.
Love Pet Clarke. Love Tony Hatch. Love this tune.
I love Dick Clark and American Bandstand.
Thanks for sharing this clip of the “Shebang” one-year anniversary show. Casey Kasem is one of the best deejays ever but you can see he struggled to adlib during this episode (I have a copy of the entire show.) Several celebrities walked in the shots and he couldn’t remember their names (I can’t believe they didn’t make cue cards with names on them to help him out!) Casey called Don Grady from the “My Three Sons” TV show the wrong name a couple of times.
Yes, Casey Kasem also mispronounced names on AT40. I was listening to an AT40 clip on YT the other day and he pronounced Bette Midler's last name MEDler multiple times when she had her hit "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy". And speaking of Casey, his future wife Jean was in the 5th grade when this show taped.
Casey stoled Famous and some of the AB dancers, lol..all kidding aside, Dick Clark was one of the investors in this local production from KTLA 5 in Los Angeles and had a hand in it. Great clip as always, Aaron. And the rest of the Shebang anniversary clips are on You Tube too!
Thank you Gayle Lecus. You can’t go wrong with Petula Clark in the mid 60’s. I’m glad you enjoyed it.....i did too.
KTAA is still around after all of these years. In 1970 Casey Kasem began his 40 Year Tenure as Host of American Top 40 and it's "Sister Show" America's Top Ten. Merrill Schindler would be to Casey what Charlie O'Donnell would be to Dick Clark as an announcer. He also voiced various Cartoon Characters most notably Shaggy on Scooby Do.
Keep your feet on the ground. Keep reaching for the stars. And until you get the one you want, we hope you'll join us often on SHEBANG!
Hi Don. Who can hear good ol’ Casey Kasem and not think of American Top 40 too.
Did you ever watch Shebang or maybe after taping 5 or 6 episodes of AB over the weekends and going to all the teen dance clubs, you were done with watching dance shows?
What? Miss a TV teen dance show? Not on a bet. LOL Wish I had been a little older. Though I went on Shebang several times, I wasn't a regular. I wasn't 16 yet, so without a drivers' license it was tricky getting a ride from the Valley down to KTLA daily to tape.
hey DON...were you ever on "Shebang"?
@@mrob75 Hey Mario -- yes, I danced on Shebang but I wasn't a regular. I didn't turn 16 until February 1967. Too young to have a driver's license, that made it tricky to get a ride from the Valley to KTLA in Hollywood DAILY. Carpooling once a month to Bandstand was way easier ;--)
dancer don I'm 16 now and passed my written test back in January. But I just have a permit. You see in NJ, one can't get a license until you're 17. NJ is weird when it comes to driving as we can't pump our own gas. But, if I were alive then, the only teen dance show in my area would be "Disc O Teen" (aa show which Aaron posted clips from) and I could have went to the studio via the bus or subway.
And another fun fact too..Lonnie Frisbee, who was a pastor in the Calvary Chapel Movement believe it or not danced on Shebang also.
In was on the road briefly with Mike. Summer of '62 I think, played many a state fair :D
Shebang?...She banged who?...lol! You go Mr. Kasem! : )
R.I.P. Casey Cassom
R.I.P. Casey Kasem.
Wow I actually went to that show about a dozen times. Shit I'm old.
I was on this show in’66 😂 a month later.
Petula Clark also sang this on The Lloyd Thaxton Show who was also the Founder of Tiger Beat Magazine (whose Sister Magazine was Right On). Wouldn't it be something if it were discovered she and Dick Clark were actually related.
I was around then, but don't recall this show. I remember American Bandstand, though.
It was in SoCal! Not sure it was anywhere else.
Famous Hooks!!
This was actually from A Dick Clark Show that Casey Kasem Hosted but he didn't do too badly. JC Chasez (N'Sync) and Donny Osmond (The Osmond Brothers) said it best when they talked about how thrilled they were when Casey with The Drumroll announced they had The Number One Song. I thought I was hallucinating when I saw Famous Hooks. Here's another fun fact. Petula Clark had Hit Records that had the same Title as other Groups. Downtown was a Hit for SWV while Color My World was a Hit for Chicago.
Up by the S in the Shebang sign someone's mom and dad are dancing!
RIP Casey Kasem.
No tattoos, ipod ear buds, nose rings or spacers stretching their earlobes out as coffee mug holders! Good times!!! ✔
If there were they lyrically couldn't go in. They look too all American and perfect. I love this and everyone in it. But people at that time who were different probably didn't attend or couldn't
A great song to listen to while your draft notice to the Vietnam war was on the way.
I just remembered something. Remember when all the guys wore flood pants ??!! It WAS the style, back then! I had 'em as well. Showed a lot of black sock, haha !!
I CANT BELIEVE IT THAT WAS JERRY BLAVIT FROM PHILADELPHIA CASEY.
@Aaron, @Jeff, @Mario: I just got confirmation from Famous that Shebang originated in Bakersfield , CA (1964?) and was shot in b&w. When Shebang moved to KTLA in Hollywood, the show began broadcasting in color. I thought I remembered Shebang originally as a b&w telecast but needed to have definitive affirmation before I posted this. ~~ Don
dancer don Hi Don. I knew you would provide us the correct history on Shebang. All us 1960s dance show fans are very fortunate to have both yourself and Famous willing to share this amazing information with us. - Jeff
@Don......Bakersfield? Now of all the places, I would not have guessed that.....no disrespect to Bakersfieldians, but I wonder why they’d film it there. Maybe it was just more......”frugal”. Lol.
Seriously though, that is so interesting Don. It’s nice to have connections to learn things like this. And maybe this 1 year anniversary show in ‘66 is from when they moved to Hollywood and not when the show actually started if it started in ‘64(?). Thank you and thank Famous for this information!
@@YCDTI Bingo! The props go to Famous! :--)
@@ABdancers Jeff, you're always welcome on both my behalf and Famous'.
Bakersfield? Were there enough people living there at the time to fill a studio dance floor?
Was this on TV only in the L.A. market, or was it syndicated? If it was, we didn't get it in Washington, DC. We did get Lloyd Thaxton's show and "Hollywood A-Go-Go", but the latter was on 10-11 pm on Saturday nights. Even on a night that wasn't a "school night", that was too late for me (at around ages 12-14). I have heard of another L.A.-based teen variety show called "Shivaree" in recent years. If that one was syndicated, we also didn't get it in DC.
@rslitman, Shebang was mostly seen on KTLA channel 5 in the LA area. It was syndicated and shown in a few markets outside of LA as well, but these markets were few and far between. Shivaree was syndicated in 150 markets nationally, but maybe DC was not one of those markets. Thank you for the great question!
Casey K was also a very popular DJ at that time too, on KRLA (with Bob Eubanks, Dave Hull of Hullabaloo Club. A lot of the DJs went into TV right then and there. I was on the show occasionally (and Lloyd Thaxton). Thanks for showing this clip. Love it. Casey Kasem genuinely nice guy up close and personal on the show.
@@SpeegBJ "Shivaree" was hosted by the late Gene Weed and was not as "big" as Casey's show.
I remember Lloyd Thaxton show! Also 9th Street West with Sam Riddle!
Ever notice how some of the dancers on Shebang also were seen on AB?
Yep. Lots of crossover.
@@timothycarmain5288 Noted in the initial notes as it was like AB produced by Dick Clark. Many of the dancers crossed over between the two.
The guy up top dancing....hes so bad ....hes good!!!
Wow, I've been listening to Petula Clark all week and this was a great post. Do you have any Gene Pitney.
Thanks Stevie, glad you like it. “It Hurts....” but I’m afraid I don’t have any clips with the great Gene Pitney yet. If I find some, I would love to share them.
Oh okay, do you have any more of Miss Petula Clark? What's your favorite song of hers? My favorite is "Sign of the Times", which was in the charts during this broadcast.
I have 2 or 3 more clips with Miss Clark and ohhhh, good question. I really love her whole catalogue but if I have to choose one favorite (really, really tough) I’d say.....to dance to it’s “Sign of the Times” and to just listen to it’s ”I Couldn’t Live Without Your Love”. Thank you for the question Stevie G.
About a month before Jan’s near-fatal accident
The late singer Aaliyah,that's her mother @1:46
Melody is dancing with a *great* surfer, Nile Hight.
@surferpam1 Comment a little late, but did you know Melody or Nile?
What an absolutely gorgeous woman at 1:45.
That's June Strode and yes she is pretty. She also danced on AB and most times can be seen dancing with Famous Hooks.,
@@marge3470 Thanks Molly. There is also a great clip of her dancing to "I Fought The Law" with Famous on a Bandstand spotlight show. They certainly had some moves. I was curious so I did a bit of research - from a site called myheritage.com - "Junelehua Kalaeloa Strode - is an actress, dancer, and is the daughter of actor Woody Strode and Princess Luukialuana "Luana" Kalaeloa Strode, a descendant of the last great queen of Hawaii; Liliuokalani. June was best know for her regular appearance with partner Famous Hook on Dick Clarks American Band Stand during the 1960's. June appeared with her father, actor Woody Strode in the 1975 movie, Winterhawk, and would find work in small acting roles and appearing in some 1970's TV commercials.
Interesting that she was Woody Strode's daughter. Anyway, hopefully she is well.
@@Butterflypoo Yes I had seen and really liked the AB ''I fought the law'', dance video. They both definitely did have the dance moves for sure!! I always liked that song too!!...And Oh wow I didn't know that about June and her Dad!! I'll have to check it out.. Thks for the trivia info!!
Ew
A young Casey Casum
Kasem.
oh man you got to meet kacey
Dylan Mulvaney would make an excellent Petula Clark in a life story about her.
Hey. It’s the voice of Shaggy!
What happen to the Beatles. Day poster 1966
"KTLA-TV CHANNEL 5 LOS-ANGELES-CALIFORNIA".
La oi en español.
it's strange to see everyone so happy, when young men were getting blown up in Vietnman.
Same thing can be said for the WW2 generation......kids were dancing and growing up to the sounds of Seing and Big Bands like Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller and Harry James (and dont forget Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby)
That's "Swing" not "Seing"
Did Shebang and AB air at the same time?
Shebang aired on weekday afternoons unless it was a special occasion (I think they occasionally aired on Saturday nights for special occasions, not 100% sure) so they weren’t in direct competition with each other.
What happened at 2:00?
Ahhh the hairspray generation.
jan,,of jan and dean???
Dean, of Jan and Dean
So cringey 😂😂😂
Yeah, kids happy, getting along, paying attention to each other, real cringey.
She-Bang-Bang rules!... So that's how some of the dancers from AB ended up there.. Loved the clip!
Thank you Angelique Collins. Herman’s Hermits was a great guess last week too by the way. Right era, just the wrong gender, lol.
@@YCDTI lol and thanks!
