- Airdate: December 20, 1969
This is from the Christmas episode that was unearthed last year thanks to Cathy Hicks (dancing here at 1:30)
With the dancing, fashions, and 2 great songs, this might be my all-time favorite rate-a-record, especially for one without a hit song. How cool would it be to see this in color (and no timestamp) Neither of these 2 songs ever charted, but to my ear, they both sound like future hits - but what do I know. I’d give song 1 a 92 and song 2 an 88. What did you think?
Dancers: lots of familiar favorites are here today including Art Mikaelian, Rudy Mikaelian & Robin Miller at 0:54, Andy Soto & Teresa “Buggy” Escoto at 2:47, Frank Vanderpuil at 4:45 and Don Sanuskar & Pat Dickinson on the highest riser during the 2nd song at 5:07. In this, the new studio for ‘69, dancers were told not to wear blue so they wouldn’t look like floating heads in front of the blue screen that Don and Pat are dancing in front of.
Deep Cuts: The 3-album ca-sette they’re giving away today, with The Steve Miller Band - Sailor, The Band - Music From Big Pink and The Quicksilver Messenger Service - self-titled, didn’t have any hits on them but at least they got “The Weight” - take a load off Fanny.
End of an era: as the 60’s come to end, so to does Diana Ross‘ time with The Supremes. Tomorrow night Diana will appear with The Supremes for the last time on TV on ”The Ed Sullivan Show” where they’ll sing “Someday We’ll Be Together”.
Time has come today for me to take care of business…Thank you for watching!
"My Baby Takes Care Of Business" was a non-album single release from the Chambers Brothers issued between their albums "A New Time - A New Day" (1968) and "Love Peace & Happiness" (1970).. The band being west coast based, it's no surprise that the single made some noise and caught Dick Clark's ears. Too bad it didn't take off.
Art Posey & Honey Sessions were Motown/Jobete Music writers whose single was issued via ABC-Dunhill (another west coast based operation). Great record that didn't get the promotion it deserved.
Thanks Kevin. There is very little info out there (like none) on Art & Honey. Great stuff!
Good vibes with the Chambers bros. Thanks for posting, good job.😃😃😃
Thank you sir for another great American bandstand moment in time.
The Chamber Brothers really took care of business with that record. Sounds vibrant and fresh even 50+ years later.
I give it the top mark, 98.
Shows you afro hairdos , mini skirts , love beads , gogo boots were kind of goin out of style by69-70 , but bell bottoms , tie die shirts , and Vietnam still raging !
'Well, kinda equal' lol.
American Bandstand brought the races together through good music. When good music on, no one thinking about race, just gettin’ down. Thank goodness for rock n roll and soul.
Send me back to 1969, love to be 14 year old kid at Spring Hill Junior High School, in South Charleston, West Virginia
I love our friend Don in that groovy line dance!
I really enjoyed hearing the Chamber's Brothers song for the first time. To me, the Line Dance beginning at the 1:06 mark, took the video to another level of fun and excitement... Thanks once again Aaron. 😊
I really like these two songs. And the dancing here is so good I bet it was so much fun. Thank you to Cathy Hicks for making this episode accessible. I am hoping if there is more AB footage that others are in possession of they will see how well these are received and make theirs available as Cathy did.
Saturday, December 20, 1969.....10 days later, yours truly would turn 1 year of age on Tuesday, December 30, 1969. 🎂😁
Loved it Aaron. Almost the end off an era and for myself too by actually making it a point to watch Bandstand. Looks like this tape has been loved by many. So glad your still giving your time and effort........ Thax as always.
I too wanna thank Cathy Hicks for providing this episode... and for bringing 1:27 for her dance partner. Grrrrrr.
Hey Aaron. I remember when this episode first hit UA-cam & we all went crazy! Lol This RAR was one of the best ones I saw from this era. The energy coming from the kids on both sings was great! And it was packed in there too for this episode.
I agree with you Aaron, these 2 songs screamed at least Top 20. Maybe these sounded too 60s, but nobody knew what music was gonna sound like a year or 2 later. Either way, a great song doesn't always have to chart, or be a single.
Anybody who has seen this episode will note the somber feel it has at certain points, what with everything going on in the world during that time. M y guess is, all that energy was sort of like a way to relieve some stress from loved ones getting drafted, or worse... that letter or phone call. Thanks for this clip Aaron!
Great insight here Kevin. This episode goes back and forth between its usual lighthearted fare, like this, and much more unusual, serious, poignant segments. Interesting episode. So glad we have it!
Im waiting for someone to unearth a ep of AB from the 1970-71 season where they had the octagon wall extra set piece they had for that season
About the top 20, loved your remark!!
@BomberMonkAssassin35 Well, here's a performance of The Undisputed Truth from that season & it's in color!: ua-cam.com/video/g0WPPAN9JyM/v-deo.html
@Greg Moore Thanks Greg, both songs had hit potential though.
The Chambers Brothers also did the wonderful “Time” from the previous year. The dancers really seemed to enjoy getting down to both songs. Thank you for the great clip, Aaron!!
Wow....I was 7 yrs. old at this time, but I can remember my cousins dancing to it. 😊👍 Thanks for sharing 😊🌻🌼
Aaron your research is always on point. This clip was definitely ready for Bandstand’s preview of the 1970’s ahead. Thanks for the pitch-perfect descriptor.
Thanks Don! Looking dapper as always here. You and Pat looked like you were having fun.
I noticed that between the 2 songs they closed Dick’s moving doors around the podium and, obviously, you and Pat moved up onto the riser. Were RAR’s all 1 continuous scene (not sure I’m saying that right) or were there cuts to allow time for the dancers to move around between the 2 songs? If not, I imagine it was a pretty wild scramble getting reshuffled in the 2 minutes or so that it took for the judges to give their comments and scores. 🤔
@@YCDTI There weren’t breaks between the two RAR tunes and indeed there were often times when there was a mad shuffling of dancers between the songs being rated. I also noticed that the moving doors to the podium were closed for the second RaR tune. You know
I have zero recollection of that little maneuver 🤷♂️.
HEEEY Don! Your hair is looking a hair longer in a good way.Your a little older then me so my dad still had a pretty good grip lol...
@@dancerdon9175 Hey Don, you were killing it with the stache man! And you looked like you loved dancing to both of these songs, especially the Art & Honey song. Did you get them both on 45s?
@@gregmoore7709 LOL. Still, fortunately, didn’t lose any hair but it sure is gray now.
This was a hard time for music and dancing as so much of rock music changed and dancing suddenly involved a lot of jerking , jumpy movements and flailing arms . The clothing and hairstyles look much more familiar than the “ dancing”. Late60’s ; Everything Changed . A lot ! It’s fun to see the way the girls dance and the clothes. I love music but the only thing I remember of the Chambers Bros is “ Time” and time wasn’t a dance song, much if at all. Time lasted a super long time , too.
That's a cool early caasette advertisement! 😂
Love love love those Mikaelian boys! I'm happy to be part Armenian
Back when you could go to the mall, movies and school without worrying about getting shot.
Dear Aaron - many many thanks for this fantastic time and music video.
My pleasure Takai!
50+ years late and I have heard Art And Honey for the first time. Pretty good! I should search discogs for it.
Same here. All these years later and AB is still serving 1 of its primary purposes of introducing “new” music to the young (and not-so young) people. Love it!
I don’t remember Art and Honey or this song at all . I thought, Who? And I still do after watching and listening to this. No MoTown seen here, sadly. But it’s great to see AB ! I love most of the AB regulars dancing and the guest recording artists …

Looks like Art and Honey made only 2 45s. One for Dunhill in 1969 and one for Motown in 1970. I'm going to have to hear the Motown record.
Anyway you could post/share the full episodes of the Philly episodes from 63/64? I’m dying to see those full episodes! I was just watching the November 1963 episode you posted almost 2 years ago! I’d love to see more!
I’ve posted several but unfortunately they’ve been blocked. 😔
@@YCDTI dang! What about that other platform you had where you shared the Beatles clips? Could you post them there? Or could you send them to me directly? I’d love to see them!!
@@rickytickykatz9599 I’ll work on figuring something out. I’m glad you’re enjoying them.
@@YCDTI thanks Aaron, the Philly episodes are the best and always make me happy to see a new one, hopefully you can get them posted. Thanks again
Freestyle dancing had really taken over by this time.
I think DC was 40 here
If its November of 1969 yeah he should be turning or is already 40 yrs old
Oh wait a minute I see the Xmas tree in the background he was already 40 my mistake
Saturday morning feel good music. Takes me back right now to the best time. Listening to the Real Don Steele on KHJ as well. Love Robin Miller ❤️ Forever
For the first song, were they going for an earthquake affect or did the cameraman have Parkinson's?
Where was Famous Hooks??
hooks returns in 1970
