Many Many Thanks I was/am the founder, leader, guitarist and one of three vocalists in The Gentrys. I sang this song "Keep On Dancin' "when I was 17. It was a number 4 hit record in September 1965. I am still performing and singing it today. I and all The Gentrys are honored and appreciate so much, your making our hit the soundtrack for this monumental, fun video. MOST OF ALL EVERYONE FROM HOLLYWOOD TO HOME LAND KEEP ON DANCIN' !!!
It was an honor and a privilege to make a video of this great classic from 1965. I'm so thrilled that you and your band enjoyed the video. The Gentrys still rock!!!
To think that one of the lead vocalists of this band, Jimmy Hart, would become one of the most iconic and legendary managers in professional wrestling is amazing.
Lol … after 10 minutes of him being an ass at ringside and the wrestler finally got him by the neck tie, punched him and sent him flying off the ring… funniest bit in wrestling… LMAO…
The 50's and 60's music reflected an age of innocence and simplicity that may never return. It was a fun time. I remember this song well - it was the year I married my high school sweetheart. (Go Sunset Bisons - Class of '62)
With all its turmoil in the late 60s. The 60s was still the most coolest decade I have witnessed. And I got to see the late 50s and all of the 60s. Both decades had cool cars and the best music. By the late 70s music was going down hill with the introduction of Disco.
It is all back in a huge way.. There are tons of great new classic rock, oldies, neo-soul, psychedelic, everything.. Looks like the kids are sick of shitholer "music" and decided to rock instead!
yep the Cold War was a gas boomertard. Nothing like US & Soviet Union just a hair trigger away from nuclear war & total end of the planet. And just in case you missed it the Vietnam War was moar fun. And helter skelter with the Charlie Manson family as they hacked & slashed to the beat of the times. Which included anti war movement & student protest across the nation including National Guard using the student body of Kent State for target practice. Nevermid political assasinations like JFK,MlK and RFK and George Wallace. And to top it off Watergate and 'I'm not a crook' tricky Dick Nixon.
Great vid ! Lucky old Alan Hale jnr ! as for Johnathan Harris (Dr Smith) the hlppie!! & cool David Mc Callum in the shades! as for Fred Gwynne ,really enjoying himself 😁 remember them all X
Oh man, this song brings back memories, this was my first 45, I was 9, I asked mom if she would buy it so I could play it on their record player. So grateful I grew up when I did, it's been a wonderful life.
Actually the song was too short and the producers wanted more so they added the last part ..That's why the stop occurs but it turned out to make the song even more enjoyable.
Cool how Herman Munster - Fred Gwynn - actually showed more potential as a good dancer with a better sense of rhythm than 95% of the other actors/actresses shown in this clip! Thanks for this post!
Every time I watch this it's all I can do to keep from falling out of my chair laughing! This is so great; so many great memories. Ahhh, the Golden Age of TV...and music!
Hell yeah "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart as the main vocalist, can't believe he went on to become one of the greatest wrestling managers of all time after this.
Jimmy Hart was a backup singer, Larry Raspberry was the lead guitar and lead vocals. They all went to my school. Treadwell High School in Memphis, TN and graduated in 1965. They had this hit before they graduated.
@@robertmcgee5717 wow. I did not know that😨☺ Im not a wrestling fan but my husband and son used to watch it all the time so I knew who Hart is but didn't know he was a singer. Thanks for sharing 👍☺. I learn something new everyday 👍
I appreciate video clips like this! Losing yourself for a couple of minutes to some great garage band music and classic TV dance clips gives you a momentary break from all the craziness around us!!!
@turbodoggur No. Lucy. After Elizabeth Montgomery as Serena dancing around. Lucys wearing a black wig and a black and white outfit. The clip is brief. It's at the .51 mark. Watch it again.
Eddie Applegate ("Richard Harrison") playing her boyfriend on the show, passed away at 81 before the end of 2016, a few months after both Patty and her tv father, William Schallert, who died 6 weeks after Patty (Mar. 29) on May 8, 2016. Jean Byron (the mom) died a few years earlier, so now Paul O'Keefe ("Ross", Patty's little brother on the show) is the sole remaining actor alive from the nucleus of that family. He is now 67 (Apr. 1951 birth).
I remember being little and being into wrestking and my dad tellin me jimmy hart sings this song.... miss my dad... the 92 t'bird had POWER WINDOWS haha traaaamendous
I remember dancing to this song holding a pack of cigarettes size transistor radio to my ear in the backyard of our Long Beach, Calif home. 1965. Awesome time, glad i lived it.
The TV mix here is incredibly impressive & wonderful. I watched those shows as a kid & imbibed the fun & silly aspect of the 60s that too few remember. Perfect video to accompany a classic song. You really made this into a gift. Thanks so much.
I love this song. I was born in 1987 but I grew up on the oldies music from the 50s and 60s by listening to it with my mom driving in her car as a kid. Today's generation of music is terrible. This song is a great example of how amazing oldies music is.
Wow an old dude that thinks that this generations music sucks despite barely even scratching the surface of today's music?? You must feel very special they're aren't many as is.
+I Love bleach It's nostalgia; we forget that we have plenty of awful songs back in the 50's and 60's, we just don't remember any of them. And it was different back then; you could churn out and release lots of songs quickly. Today, you have to have a video to launch a song, so even the best artists only release a few song a year. I don't think you'll have a lot of people with half a dozen hits at the top of the charts like the Beatles did back then. There's still good music; just not as much of it.
So fun listening to this song along with the images pulled from 60's shows with dance scenes...You really can't beat Lurch trying to pick up some dance moves from Morticia !!! Way too funny..love it !!!
Many Many Thanks

Larry, I saw you with the Raspberrys at the VCU GYM in 1975 in Richmond,Va. You guys blew the roof off....one of the best shows I ever saw!!!!!!!
This is such a great record I had to look it up after Jimmy Hart talk about it on that WWE Network.
I read a long time ago that this song was cowritten with Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart. Any truth to that?
I loved it! Great job!
The 60s we're a time of very infectious music.
I am now 72,. A lot of these performers are passed away but they are all well remembered and never forgotten male and female xo
Glad i was born in those days the 60s and 70s had the best rock n roll and country in my opinion
50s-70s Best music and coolest cars in history.
Agree!
Don't forget the foundation of Rock and Roll, the 50s
I remember the 60's but was too young to have adult fun, the only problem about being a young adult at that time was Vietnam.
It was an honor to be alive and young in those decades. We had something special.
We need more of this these days.
Who needs aerobics with dances like these? LOL. I MISS those days.
Hello Kimberly, How are you doing?
Me❤
got to meet Billy Mumy in 2014, very nice guy
So lucky. I’m glad to know he’s good to fans. 👍🖖🎉
Whoever put this together, it's OUTSTANDING! I watched all those shows when I was a kid.
I know. I nearly cried when I saw Gilligan's island 🤣
Me too.
Herman Munster get me everytime.
😂
@@gregorykiernan7849 And then he went on to be the judge in "My Cousin Vinny" LOLOL! Great actor!
I saw a lot of them on 'Nick at Night'. Good memories.
one of the legendary videos of UA-cam. this here never gets old.
This clip showcases basically the who's who of the 60's, magnificent
I been watch old music vids and seriously dont know whether to smile or cry.
Long live the batoosie!
Old guy here and 15 yr old when this hit the AM radio . Nice garage band dance tune!
To think that one of the lead vocalists of this band, Jimmy Hart, would become one of the most iconic and legendary managers in professional wrestling is amazing.
That's how I even heard of this band/song. Good stuff!
Lol … after 10 minutes of him being an ass at ringside and the wrestler finally got him by the neck tie, punched him and sent him flying off the ring… funniest bit in wrestling… LMAO…
One of The Gentrys was Jimmy Hart who later became a manager in professional wrestling.
Great song, Great video.
The 50's and 60's music reflected an age of innocence and simplicity that may never return. It was a fun time. I remember this song well - it was the year I married my high school sweetheart. (Go Sunset Bisons - Class of '62)
The Sunset Bisons is an amazing name for a sports team.
WINS BEST U-TUBE VIDEO EVER!
I grew up in the 80s and was raised on all these RE-RUNS!
This song and clips can't help but make you SMILE!

Lived it too. Agree100
Watching old vids and hearing songs I grew up with always makes me twinge a bit with sadness, that world is gone.
When music and times were great, fun and innocent.
God, I miss those days.

But m-muh perfect, non-violent childhood. These dang kids and their iPods don't play outside anymore. And the hip-hop music.
Me too.
keep snort'n glue.
I love this 1965 song "Keep on Dancing" because of its rhythm.
The video throws me back to 1965.
What a FUN video😆
this video is 10 years running and still the best on UA-cam!!
WOW, really liked this one.👍👍
Patty Duke,Gidget and Ginger. Cool compilation.
The Gentrys were an awesome kind of group. Love to dance to their music..
Probably the best compilation of 60's tv sitcoms I have ever seen and to top it off with a great soundtrack by the Gentrys!
Cheers!
Great video! RIP to all those that have passed from this by gone era.
Great video clips to match this song
Absolutely wonderful. I am 63 and haev fond memories of the music and the television of the 60s. This is so much fun to watch
RIP Mary Tyler Moore. Brought us such joy in everything she did.
So did Patty Duke, Joyce Jameson, Fred Gwynne, and all the others who gave us such great tv memories growing up in the never-dull 1960s!
I was born 20 years after this song was made and I love this video and the song is amazing. Only here because Jimmy Hart was an amazing manager!
One of my grandma fav song before she passed away it hurts to sing and hear but I like it because of her 😥
Great vid ! Lucky old Alan Hale jnr ! as for Johnathan Harris (Dr Smith) the hlppie!! & cool David Mc Callum in the shades! as for Fred Gwynne ,really enjoying himself 😁 remember them all X
A GREAT SONG! Excellent video! THANKS FOR SHARING! R.K. 3/14/2021.
Damn we sure had some fun
Oh man, this song brings back memories, this was my first 45, I was 9, I asked mom if she would buy it so I could play it on their record player. So grateful I grew up when I did, it's been a wonderful life.
Anytime I want to shake off a bad day... I come here.
This video is out of this world.
great video ... Lurch , granny Clampett , & Herman ,three way tie as winners,,,,, pity no Jed Clampett .......
This is one of my all-time favorites. I love that part where it just stops. I danced to this song at my sister's wedding.
*****
I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
That had to be fun 😃
Actually the song was too short and the producers wanted more so they added the last part ..That's why the stop occurs but it turned out to make the song even more enjoyable.
Totally AWESOME ! Saving !!😂😂😂😅😅😅
Cool how Herman Munster - Fred Gwynn - actually showed more potential as a good dancer with a better sense of rhythm than 95% of the other actors/actresses shown in this clip! Thanks for this post!
Wow!!! Lurch, Mr. Mooney, The Skipper and Uncle Martin all doing the boogie!!! Gotta love it.
what great , fun clips !!
This compilation should win an award
That scene with Granny and all the Beatniks doing the potato dig was one of the funniest gags ever.
Every time I watch this it's all I can do to keep from falling out of my chair laughing! This is so great; so many great memories. Ahhh, the Golden Age of TV...and music!
I loved watching re-runs of gidget!! Every Saturday afternoon
Man some of those 1960's babes.
Imagine being physically fit all because of dancing and a prancing!!! Absolutely fun!!!
thats how it was back then Charlene, you would have just adored it
i think i can i think i can!!
That would be me. At age 72, I am still killing it out on the dance floor.
Way cool Charlene 😊
If I had an apartment/home where I could dance without anyone else hearing it, I would be dancing and a-prancing all the time!
Jimmy Hart "the mouth of the south" is what made this song REALLY great
Man! I love all the stars used for this song! Brilliant!!
Hello Sandy, How are you doing?
@@deanmartel7922 who are you? Anyway Hello. I watch enough Dateline about “Creeping” on line. So hi and bye. Take care
I love this video!
I just found out that Jimmy Hart (of WCW/WWF) was in this band (and made music). So cool :) Lurch dancing was the best hehehe.
Excellent clip! I love it! Brings back memories when tv and music was fun.
what an OUTSTANDING compilation of old TV clips to a great song! Thank you!
Hell yeah "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart as the main vocalist, can't believe he went on to become one of the greatest wrestling managers of all time after this.

@@andrewft31
He hasnt been relevant since the fucking 80's dick-breath

thank you RetroTVCentral ! the best of times. I am glad to part of that era. 💕
I love all music. So hard to enjoy them all .
I appreciate video clips like this!

YES Nico😀
This is the music of my parents. Whenever I miss my dad I put this on and imagine them together. RIP Pop
classic good job
I love that all dancing clips are from old classic 60s shows ONLY..
LOVE This song!! It played on Sirius 60's and I cranked that radio UP!!!
Without a doubt
one of the best videos on UA-cam! So happy and fun. Thank you for putting this together!
Lol my favorite comedy sitcom of all time Get Smart lol.
This is right up there with Big Bird singing Bird Is The Word!
If Agent 99 was dancing around me like that, my head would have exploded.
I love Lucy in her dark wig dancing!! More, please, more!! ❤
Lucy ? Do you mean Elizabeth Montgomery ?
@turbodoggur No. Lucy. After Elizabeth Montgomery as Serena dancing around. Lucys wearing a black wig and a black and white outfit. The clip is brief. It's at the .51 mark. Watch it again.
@@NataliesMommy Wow - good eye. Would never see 'that' as Lucy in a million years.
@@turbodoggur Thanks. I wish the clip was longer. Lucy was adorable. ❤️
Love the way the clips from old T.V. shows were worked in.
Nice video for an awesome garage rock tune...
Rest in peace, Patty Duke (0:34). You were so sweet and funny, thanks for the smiles.

Amazing coordination of drums, hips and TV.
I remember ALL of these very fondly.I would like to go back!!! WE live in a sewer anymore.
That's why I love UA-cam! We can always go back in time and enjoy the great music and shows.
I want to go back too! better times!
I remember being little and being into wrestking and my dad tellin me jimmy hart sings this song.... miss my dad... the 92 t'bird had POWER WINDOWS haha traaaamendous
Immer noch toll😊
I remember dancing to this song holding a pack of cigarettes size transistor radio to my ear in the backyard of our Long Beach, Calif home. 1965. Awesome time, glad i lived it.
Made me smile from about 1 second in. till the end of the video.
This is great and brings back so many good memories.
From Memphis, the Gentrys...Loved the group, this song!
great song and great video.....made me chuckle watching it.

The best I've seen so far!
So groovy man, I dig!.
Blinding song and video! that sure does look like Babs Windsor at the end with Herman
To this very day…I find it hysterical how serious Sally Fields looks while dancing in that Gidget clip.💕
I love this‼️‼️ Especially Morticia and Lurch
Cat woman,Julie Newmar, Barbara Felton 99...so much good stuff.

You really picked the cream of the crop in TV shows. Aces ALL!
Why has this song been in my head all day?
So great....Yeyyy!!! Love Ginger, Batman, and Herman Munster most of all.
Jimmy Hart sent me here form Ben's million dollar day trade....Jimmy your a great man!!!
What a magnificent compendium of all the weird stuff that kids grew up with in the 60s. Great!
This was excellent. Only missing the girls from Petticoat Junction who did plenty of dancing in their lobby.
Good and happy video. Thanks.
Notice how smoothy Dick Van Dyke moves at :30. He did a lot of stage dancing and it shows. Great video. thanks for making it.
larry
whats amazing is that he was likely so drunk it was amazing he could still stand much less dance
@@LtBrown1956 He's in his late 90s now and still dancing. He's on YT.
I love how this song throws me right back into a simpler time.......
Hello Therese, How are you doing?
Love the silly grin on Herman...cracks me up everytime..🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow what a cool song so happy full of joy.
Video is great happy OLD days.
If only I could travel back and be part of it!!!
I can Dream..... X
So fun listening to this song along with the images pulled from 60's shows with dance scenes...You really can't beat Lurch trying to pick up some dance moves from Morticia !!! Way too funny..love it !!!
