American Bandstand 1967 - Top 10 - The Happening, The Supremes
Вставка

- The Happening had been #1 on the show for at least 2 weeks and you can tell the kids knew it well by how some of them are singing along. Clips like this (and many others) really make we want to just jump in the screen with my jacket and skinny tie (and shave off ”a few” years) and join them....pure joy!
Dancers: 1:09 Frank Herrera and Nancy Ireson, 1:47 Pat Moriarty, 2:25 Leonard Smith, 2:43 Marcia Silverman, and on the riser it’s Don Sanuskar with Roni Menacker joined by Stan Soburn and his partner.
Airdate: May 6, 1967
Why am I smiling through this entire clip? Maybe because of the iconic music by The Supremes and the beautiful young people, black and white, dancing and smiling. I hope we can get back to that idealism!
Not many blacks, that’s why it’s so happy and peaceful.
I Guess So.. These People Cannot
Dance..
The Supremes were the top competition of the Beatles for American music chart dominance in the 60s. The ladies had twelve #1 hits .That was phenomenal
Despite focusing on movies, Elvis was still the second highest artist of the 60's at 139 million (The Supremes 71 million). I do love the Supremes.
I'm in the proscess of building a time machine to go back to the greatest generation in our history ALL ABOARD....... 🚅
The music of that time is unmatched in history and the young people were influential to the world. My sisters were teenagers during that time and I was 10 years younger than them but still was exposed somewhat to what was going on.
Better find Madman Marcum, and jump on!
I have some Hostess Twinkies from back then. They'll be perfect for the trip.
@@richardleonard4281 Those were good way back then too.
Can I be on board.Just wait a bit though,as I am coming from England.
Oh dear God....I wish soooo hard to go back to 1967....
It was great ! 💛💜😎
I'm really trying to build a one way time machine to never return to the shit hole times we live in know
@@CHaas-bn3xi, COOL!!☺😷✌
@@CHaas-bn3xi I feel the same way.
Ah yes the aul Vietnam war was at its height. Happy days what.
Such a happy melody and arrangement.
i just wanna jump through the video and dance, especially 1965-1970, where the fashions rule!
Angelique, you post the nicest comments. Wouldn't trade those days for anything!
I think Barnabas would prefer an old fashioned Waltz :)
Angelique Collins I'm with you man
I agree. I was born in the early 70s, and wish to go back to mid 60s when Motown, Mod and the rock sound were mounting. Although the 80s were fun too, but the fashions not as sharp.
I was 14 and 1967.
and being a young teen boy, it was like dancing with a dream if got with a 16-year-old girl.Good times.
This tune topped the Billboard charts May 13, 1967, exactly 1 week after this AB broadcast on ABC-TV!!!
I always loved this song by The Supremes. I was over 6 years old when this came out, and I TOTALLY remember it !!
Me too! Great song!
1967 was the most MAGICAL year of the 20th Century and the GREATEST YEAR in Music History!!
1968, but close...
Love this song.
The song "The Happening" was the song for the same titled move "The Happening" with Anthony Quinn, Faye Dunaway, Robert Walker and others. That was 1967.
Great Supremes song! All of the dancers were having fun dancing to this tune. And, yes, skinny ties and sweaters or jackets required.
Great job dancing here Don! What is your partners name? Also, I’d not seen this before, but it looked like a couple wanted to come up on the riser with you. Were they asking you and your partner if they could come up there or were they chosen in advance?
What a great time to be a teenager!!!!
Miss pat molletteri and all the Pa. Regulars and of course our oldest teenager Dick Clark!!!
My partner on the riser is Roni Menacker. Yes, Stan Sobern and his partner joined us on the riser. it was just a spur of the moment thing. BTW: Stan was one of the six finalists in the 1967 Swing Dance contest.
dancer don It’s so cool that people can just jump up there when they are feeling it. This is a song I’d definitely have loved to jump up there with you guys!
The minute this song came on we all got up and danced. We were young teens then, Love this song. Check out the fashion, Some of those outfits you can still wear today :-)
That's because the short-haired square look is back in fashion
Yep, I'm a teen and I dress like this a lot.
Yep 60s, 50s and even 40s styles can be seen worn everywhere nowadays. Probably my fav fashion eras
Back in a day people were more beautiful and million times more healthy. We need to get GOD, LORD JESUS and HOLY SPIRIT in our lives. You, who are from that generation, I LOVE YOU. You are always BEAUTIFUL AND A TRUE LOVE. I'm nostalgic again because of you lol.
60s hippie chicks had such a natural hotness to them....not sure why, they just did.
When I was young I'd listen to the radio Waitin' for my favorite songs. When they played I'd sing along. It made me smile. Those were such happy times And not so long ago How I wondered where they'd gone. But they're back again Just like a long lost friend All the songs I loved so well.
Do you see how happy people were back then and having a good time? Seams to be hard to fine happy people now days. I feel we've lost something today. It makes me a little sad. Lets get that time machine built and go back!
Diana's voice had 'white and black America' groovin.... Pioneer.... Groundbreaker... Icon.... Legend... Game changer!!!!
Yes, but to alot of folks at that time, she had lost her "Black Audience". The Happening would be one of the last Songs Florence Ballard performed on before being fired in 1967, shortly afterwards they lost their Songwriting Team of Holland Dozier Holland who gave them Five Number One Hits In A Row.
Diana Along With Florence Ballard and Mary WIlson Was A Game Changer.. After Florence Left.. The Supremes Lost Black Audience...Aretha Franklin.. Gladys Knight Etc Had Taken Over Black Audience More Soulful
@@juneandrus2840 you don't make any sense. It was Diana Ross singing all the leads, Mary and Florence were backup singers.
And you know Gladys Knight and Aretha Franklin ain't take over nothing. They never had more hits Diana Ross or The Supremes. WHO ARE ALL BLACK TOO 🤣
@@dtrn254 I Make Plenty of Sense.. You Are A Ross FANATIC... Ross Did Not Have Black American Groovin... The Supremes Had Black America Swinging... After Florence Left (Us.. African Americans) Were Not To Much Interested In Ross and The Supremes... By Then Us Thought They Were To Homogenize .. Then Motown Decided To Hook Them Up With The Temptations.. Then They Hit The R&B Charts Again.. And Yes Aretha Had 20 Number One R&B Singles .. The SUPREMES HAD 12 Number One Billboard Songs.. Point Is Blacks As You Call Us Were Into Soul Music By The Late 60'S... And The Supremes Songs Were No Longer Played In Clubs.. Very Little On Black Radio Stations At That Time... James Brown Otis Redding Aretha Franklin Johnny Taylor Rufus Thomas The Staple Singers Sly and The Family Stone.. The Four Tops.. The Temptations.. Etc... By Then Diana Ross Mary Wilson Cindy Birdsong Were More For You and Gays.. Since You Say I Don't Make Any Sense... Look It Up Ross Fan... Oh! I Knew You Were Caucasian. Groovin

I love this song R.I.P Mary Wilson😞🙏🏿
I was 15 in 1967 my brother was in Vietnam 🇻🇳 fighting for our country. And people were unaware of the sacrifices made by our young men and women the same ages as these dancers. God bless our heros fighting in Vietnam in 1967 ❤
Absolutely
Diana, Mary & Miss Flo!!! The Happening!
👋 SWDETBOY * Hi there, They were the best.❤👏❤There will never be music like this anymore ever!!👏❤👏(🙋😷😎✌)
Love how these clips from the in between ‘60s years of Dick’s longtime-running great show are resurfacing now. 😍
This has got to be the most upbeat song about love gone wrong ever written. I was at Ft. Bragg, NC, with the 82nd Airborne Division, my first duty assignment.
So glad I grew up in this period, what a fab time it was, seem to be partying all the time.
I'm obsessed with the dancers in this particular video.
Melanie Martin It would be nice to hear from them on this site.Just viewed "Don't you want someone to love"-1967(A B),and there are some great movers on there.
Thanks for the thumb up, whoever you are.I am British and finding this programme fascinating.There was never a programme like it in the UK.
I find it interesting how the style of dancing to music changed from decade to decade.1970's dancing was definitely different to the style of dancing that we are seeing in these 60's AB clips.
I enjoyed this song as I was driving to my high school graduation, or, my liberation from that place! Afterwards, my parents were hobnobbing with whomever, and I gave it my finger! I was through, finished!! College was wonderful.
My favorite song by the Supremes
Wow!! I was 17 years old. . .what a great year. . .
Que hermosas canciones de los años 60, saludos desde Chile
Everybody looks happy and healthy..Had to of been the 60s..
😆😀😆😀😎😎
I was a kid in the 90s and this is pretty much what my generation looked like too...
This was number 1 the month I was born in 1967
Thank you "ab & YouCanDance2it!" and to "dancer don"...Love, love, love these clips and all the insight on this thread and through all of the comments. And on this clip, "The Happening" was just the perfect song to dance to...The kids are really into it. Seems that Bandstand was such an escape from the world events of 1967...some real heavy stuff going on... yet the faces on these dancers shows lighter and happier times. Again, thank you so much for these great memories!
Thank you for the nice comment mrrob75. I think you are right that American Bandstand was a nice escape for kids, and probably many adults too, to temporarily escape the strife and turmoil of the times in 1967.....and now.
Spot on mrob75 on all counts!
I know! Its a happy, let loose, bounce around, have fun with song. Especially during that era. May have God Blessed each and everyone there.
Lyle Petrov very nice thoughts
Oh man what a great song. I’d be dancing like a nut, but then again I was only in the 2nd grade at the time😁
That was a time of utopia for us and now our grand kids are making us great grand parents ? ! ? ! Time sure flew as our world went coo-coo !
Holy crap!!! I was watching this video, and the girl at 2:44; I swear; TOTALLY looked like my Baby-sitter !!!
"I don't judge a man by the length of his hair, the kind of music he listens to. But you wear a pair of shoes when you walk into the New York Public Library, fella."
--Mr. Bookman
Guys in neckties made me think of that quote. I think Clark had a dress code for sure.
Loved the 60s and these dance shows ❤! That includes Casey Kasem and Lloyd Thaxton! American Bandstand was number one and the first in the sixties! 🎃10-31-22
Fantastic song this gets you moving 👗🎶💃🎼💌👌😁💝🎵
If it wasnt the song of the Year....it should have been....this song will play .....forever.....and if not for the Vietnam War.....these kids should have had nothing but good times ahead of them.
What a great record
I just wanna dance to this too! Only Supremes song I liked! Thanks for the video.
You are most welcome and thank YOU for watching!
What a great time to be young.
Classic. lots of California cuties in that one
Another one of my favorite videos , the 1967 ones are the best , these people look more and more familiar, Thanks for these , ( I was born in 1956) i used to watch this show ( when my mother and father weren’t using the TV , ) you only had 3 channels back then .
Robert Westerman I am enjoying these clips as well.Think yourself lucky,I live in England,and we had only two main channels in the 60's.We did have a third,BBC 2,but it was solely a UHF channel,and only a few people had a suitable aerial for it back then.
Some of those guys n gals have got some good moves going on
No they don’t
Very happy I grew up when I did!!!
Just a thought .... they are all well into their 70s (or 80s) now. I can just imagine the conversations - "Grandma.... Grandpa, what Did you think you were doing 😄
what a song I just love the way there dancing to it, I wish I was there I would be getting down to it to !
Mary Martinez I wish I had been there as well.I'm Writing this from England,and we never had a show like this.
@@martinandrews7387 that's to bad, but at least you have u-tube to catch up!☺✌
Mary Wilson (1944-2021)
👋 Kevin, Yes I know that's so sad she wanted so bad to have a reunion with Diana but it never happened.😢 (🙋😷😎✌)
Love to watch that show!
It would be nice to bring back American Bandstand. I don't know what dances kids would do today, but it would really help this country unify, I think.
You can bet your bottom dollar it would be absolutely crude with these morons that are coming up nowadays
@@russellcrawford7453 Exactly well said,you can right now what is out there.
You would have violence now-shooting, beatings, etc. you can’t have anything now that’s fun and safe..Forced integration ruined it all.
They all look like they are having a great time
I miss those days of clean cut kids
Great song to dance to. To bad some of these guys can't dance
At.44 that white dude is smooth a silk with his moves.' You GO BOY !
This is way before my time, but, I like this song, sounds nice..
Everybody says they miss the good old days. Of course, we are old and gray!!
Amen. Very astute. Most folks don't realize it's the wonderment of youth that they're nostalgic for, not that any particular era was better than another. Romanticizing our past as we age is human nature.
This was the theme song of the film of the same name starring Anthony Quinn I think.
How fun! A simpler, happier time
Back when clean-cut wholesome well disciplined adolescents ruled thanks to being taught the importance of God and country as honorable in schools at home and in public !
unlike the catholic priest that are molesting little boys
Awesome!
It was great ! 💛💚🎵🎶😎
Well, we still have AB.
Bad Karma to the BBC who deleted all of their 1960's Top of The Pops series!
It is a great shame that this happened.I wonder why the BBC did it? Fortunately TOTP's episodes from about 1976'sh,have all been retained.Also,it is good to see them being shown on BBC 4, rather than just languishing in the archives.
I think I was doing the frugue in '67.
Great tune to dance to.

You want to see an amazing show with a Strong American Bandstand Influence. Check out National bandstand from Australia that pretty much copied "Bandstand". They had Artists do "Cover" Versions of Songs by US Artists from The McCoys, Inez & Charlie Foxx, Jackie Wilson, amongst others. Johnny O'Keefe had a Variety Show and hosted a Talent Show that a young Lady won named Olivia Newton John.
Fantastic👍
Jesus Christ our Lord and our Savior, is The WAY, The TRUTH, and The LIFE! Confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord of your life. Believe in His death, burial and resurrection for the sins of all human-kind and you will be saved.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, may Father God, our Creator bless you in the Glorious name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. ❤️
Scary to think the kids in this American Bandstand are 70 or more now.
It ain't scary...they had beautiful teenage years...contrary to today...where they live their teenage years on screens...
Life goes on. Somehow it’s easy to think that they grew old fast but life goes on at a constant pace. They had their young days, their young era. Now I’m going through mine.... trying to make the most of it since thirty years later I’ll wish I was this age again lol🥰
I knew most of the regulars on the show. Many of the regulars used to go to Harmony Park. Anybody know how I can get a hold of Famous? He would be shocked to hear from me.
Thanks to all for great times.
Needs to put. a. b. Back on tv.
Such pretty girls....no tattoos, no piercings, no freaky hairdos...
Got a beat folks could dance on
Yes
The guy in the coat and thin tie wearing glasses could pass for Super Man or Boy.
John Pollock. He also has a YT channel
@@melaniexoxo Pollard. Doctor to you.
The girl at 1:09 looks like Marvelann from "Where Angels Go Trouble Follows." Barbara something....
The song that had everybody singing in 1967 even kids is now almost the least iconic song out of the 12 #1s which is very ironic as the official vid has less than 1 million views (519K)
hard to dance to but they seem to enjoy it ..some of the shows have the dancers barely moving.
Wasn't Diana Ross and The Supreme's recording of "The Happening" written and recorded for a motion picture of the same name?
They were called THE SUPREMES...........knock off the Diane Ross revisionist history.
Anthony Quinn was in that movie too.
@@kurtsupreme Why These People Trying To Rewrite False History?
Just Like Ron DeSantis Trying To Wipe AWAY African AMERICAN HISTORY
@@juneandrus2840 In most cases, these people are 65 years or younger and came of age musically when either they were preparing the public for Diane's solo career when she was still in The Supremes or they were born when Diane was already a solo performer. They were influenced by all the Motown propaganda to promote Diane's solo career and, as a result, think that it was always about Diane. Whenever you hear someone call them, "Diana Ross and The Supremes," you know that they are "younger" and big "Ross as a solo act" fans. They know little about THE SUPREMES because they are only looking back at history through a "Ross colored" lens. They don't realize that THE SUPREMES were the main event and that The 70's Supremes and Diane's solo career are just remnants of THE ORIGINAL SUPREMES' LEGACY!
@@kurtsupreme It was always Diana Ross and the Supremes.
Holland-Dozier-Holland
I van understand the lyrics! Lucky dancers
Did you ever see the Scene on Mad Men where Don Draper is on his way to see Megan who was in California Acting and he got ready to see her by shaving and getting himself together. Then going on the Escalator a la Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate. A True Metrosexual.
Spotted Patrice Holloway at 1:21. Sister of Motown singer Brenda Holloway. Patrice wrote "Just Look What You've Done" for Brenda to sing. I think she sang it in this same show if I'm not mistaken.
Edit: here it is ua-cam.com/video/PwYlnf5qVDY/v-deo.html
They actually put the camera on Patrice in the audience dancing at one point.
1:09 Amy Roloff! she said she was on that show years ago as a dancer.
Nancy Ireson
Diana Bower on the riser.
I am on board any price any time
COOL!☺✌
Back in a day people were more beautiful and million times more healthy. We need to get GOD, LORD JESUS and HOLY SPIRIT in our lives.
Love the AB videos! Nice to see them all dancing to the hits. Any chance you have videos of Ronnie Dove on Bandstand?
Fun Fact: His song "My Babe" was played during the episode before this one.
Poor Flo :(
Guys with jackets and ties? Girls without tattoos,what happened?
The Bandstand logo looks suspiciously like the ABC circle thing
I love it. Best Bandstand logo ever.
It's because Bandstand is synanamous with ABC-TV history,
I would like to know if anyone who is watching this has come on here and seen yourself after all these years? please make a statement and state your name and at what point are you seen in the video. would love to hear from you...so cool! :)
Gee, if it's a year later does it count?
Agreed.It would be nice to hear from them.Unfortunstely,I think they are the generation that are not too much into new technology,so probably won't know that they are on You Tube.I could though be totally wrong.
@@martinandrews7387 Yes. Totally wrong. Graduated in 1968 and well into technology. Love watching these clips. Miss those days. The clothes and hairstyles were simple, cute and real. We danced to have fun, not to show off. The music was and is still the greatest. To this day, most of us can hear just the first two notes of a song and can say the name of the song and the group/artist in a split second. Beautiful times that I feel so blessed to have lived.
@@umpieyou Thanks for the reply.When I think about it,I am sure that generation will be into new technology.Yes,I agree with you,I got that wrong.
@@umpieyou I agree with the rest of your write up as well.Incidentally,I am British, writing this from West Yorkshire, England.I enjoy AB on You Tube.
Does anyone know who the male dancer in the glasses and sport coat was? He was fantastic :)
I do.
@@DrJohnPollard, COOL!☺✌
Now we dance alone watching UA-cam! Life sucks!!!
Girl and boy so cute 🎎 but I think tv studio choose 👯😸
Did the supremes ever perform on here besides the 70s one
I read somewhere that Diana, Mary and Cindy performed "Reflections" on AB, but I've never seen any evidence of it. You would think that the Supremes would have been on the show at least once in the mid-60s!
They Did Where The Action Is
time machine maker, I want to get on board I'm packing right now, wait for me !
Mary Martinez I'm packing as well.
@@martinandrews7387 hi there again, COOL! let's not miss that time machine! 😊✌
It's D.T. 1:26
The girl at 130 , black hair an ribbon is stunning
Funny how 60's beach white Dance culture influenced Washington black DC. GO GO music dance."shake it like a white girl" by EU and many more GO GO artist..LoL .
