- This one kicks off with introductions to the student audience,
and then everyone, including the host, cuts a rug to "Keep the Ball Rollin'" by Jay and the Techniques.
Hosted by Del Curtis, this episode of Teen Time aired sometime around 1968 on WSTV-TV (now WTOV) in Steubenville, Ohio.
Show intro:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, for the next hour,
you are "IN" with TEEN TIME!
From the Satellite Discoteque,
high atop Altamont Hill,
it's TEEN TIME!
And here's Mr. Teen Scene...
Del Curtis!" - Розваги

They look so nice dressed. Boys in jacket and tie, girls wearing nice dresses, no tattoos or piercings
Yes they do. The reason being, the show had a dress code.
@@oldiesgeek454 Nothing wrong with that !!!
@@D.N.. I agree! 😊
Dress codes
Dude at 2:20 is hilarious, in this and other Teen Time videos. Agreed the blonde in the glasses can move. Interesting how the Platters had fallen off that quickly to that generation, and they had just had a hit again. It's crazy to watch 60s videos and listen to radio airchecks where they spoke of a song of only a few years earlier as an "oldie" and things changed so drastically between, for instance, 63-66, I can almost understand why.
Some look bored. My young days I really could dance. 😅🎵
Nice to see black and white kids simply having a good time on the dance floor. Taped late 1967.
I loved Jay & the Techniques. I was 9 when this song came out. I remember once this bad storm hit my Detroit neighborhood and it flooded all the streets. I made my way over to my buddy's house and these older kids were playing frisbee in the water. Someone's radio was blasting and this song came on. I started dancing to it in the water and pretty soon everybody was dancing to it in the middle of a flooded street. One of my best memories.
Wow that is blaat. Great time. If not for others. But great time
The song and video also stirred my childhood memories but your's is badass. Best storyline I've read to date. Felt like I was wading, throwing the pie tin, and jamming with y'all. Perhaps the whole nostalgia thing is on me heavy right now, but thank you for sharing that great experience.
YOUR RIGHT IT WAS WINTER WHEN IT CAME OUT. AND HIT BY THE SUMMER
Wow 54 YEARS AGO BETTER HEALTHY LOOKEN KIDS. I REMEMBER MY MON SINGEN THAT SONG ON THE WAY TO MY UNCLES HOUSE 1968
The host of this show, Del Curtis, would become famous as a DJ on NYC's WHN during its country period. He came there sometime in the '70s and stayed till it went to that great transistor radio in the sky in 1987.
Great song

"Keep The Ball Rollin'" by Jay & the Techniques charterd for 12 weeks beginning 10/21/67, peaking at #14. Oddly, on this soundtrack, the single sounds like it is playing a bit slow -- maybe at 40 RPM! The Platters' "Sweet Sweet Lovin'" (their last of 40 charted hits) also debuted 10-21-67 but tanked at #70 over a seven-week run.
This was great! Such wonderful memories of a simpler time.

Love the videos! It reminds of exactly of how I looked and danced! BTW, I believe the dance they are doing is the "Funky Broadway"...at least that is what we called it.. (Early 1967)
The blonde with the black-rimmed glasses sure knows how to move, I must say!(1:42) 😀
both blondes are good dancers
Richard Leonard Yes indeed. 😁
Checkout the episode with Nobody but Me on Teen Time
Omigod she is the BEST!
This TV show is really in Middle America to the core.
Love this song. Reminds me of playing volleyball in the gym in Seminole, TX.
That's "Nine Teen Time" on WSTV-TV on Steubenville, Ohio. The host is Del Curtis. The station is now WTOV. Del Curtis worked for many years in NYC radio under his real name, Del Demontreaux.
I remember my sister had a plaid jumper JUST like that!! LOL ! Wow.. I was 7!!!
Interesting, I didn't know The Platters tried their hand at contemporary Soul music; I only have ever heard " With This Ring ". The TV stations at that time did so much creative local programming with teenage dance shows & the kid's shows!
They had to dance to this oh my goodness 😅
What an awesome clip! Local tv in those days was so much fun.
And everything exploded between 1967 and 1968. By 1968-69, the dresses were much shorter and the boys' hair was much longer, even in high school. It was inevitable because older brothers and sisters were hippies. Younger siblings were bound to follow right on their heels.
Hahaha. So true. I was thinking the same thing. She is dancing the injured pigeon dance.
Check out Teen Time Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy. In just that short amount of time, the host went from a jacket and tie to a Nehru jacket, and the show was in color.
In the NW, I remember girls were not allowed to wear pants to school until the 1972 or so. Girls were also called to the office to have their miniskirts hems measured and if they were too short the girls were sent home. The school establishments were having trouble coming to grips with their new breed of students!
The girl with the blonde wig and the black glasses, 156, got the neck swing down packed! Omg I have danced like that in year but is like riding a bike, You never forget :)
hahahaha i can't take my eye off of her...lmao
Wig?
She is fucking amazing.
Awesome
Group
And
Fantastic
Dancers
Jay Procker RIP.
How cute!
This is priceless! Thanks for uploading.
I was 5 years old when this song came out
To MIKECNW: the hippie thing was happening in '67, but if you were in high school you couldn't dress or act like one. They had dress codes for schools, dances, etc. Girls wore skirts and dresses almost exclusively until maybe 1971 or so.
In my school in Philly, after fellow student won the battle girls could wear pants. It was in the mid 60s because I graduated in 1970 when I was 17, so that should narrow the year within about a year.
@@USAtoElsewhere Sounds like my high school on Long Island, NY. I graduated in 1970 also. In the fall of '68, my junior year, when the first cold snap arrived, all the girls came to school in pants. Turned out the school never had a dress code! I almost never saw a skirt again after that!
High school circa 1967... The kids dressed pretty dang nice way back then. Neckties, dress shirts, skirts, nylons (possibly pre-pantyhose?), shined shoes. Lookin' nice/sharp was where it was at before hippies ruined all that.
Just Love this thanks, post more Please❤️❤️
The blonde girl 201 got it right!!!!! you go girl!!!!
Ditto!!! I couldn't stop smiling from start to finish :)
ah bring back the times
Super cool 👍
~ Ohio is a free state and no one there grows up re-fighting the Civil War. This video is great evidence that there are blacks and whites though that equally cannot dance. I saw Londoners dance to this song in 2016 in a Northern Soul club, and they did this great classic proud. Such a great song, discotheque winner 1967. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
The blonde in the glasses who is dancing around 1:40 to 2:00 has a sense of style about her that most of the other kids didn't have. She's probably around 55 or 56 years old now... I wonder if she is still very cool...
I dunno, but she certainly had IT then.
I LIKE THE KID FIXING HIS HAIR AT 4.52
The 2 step and the slide
WHAT DOES THAT KID WANT TO DO WITH HIS HANDS AT 4.50 HOLY COW.
Del Curtis was veteran disc jockey Del Demontreaux who eventuallky made his way into New York. He had a stroke awhile back..Anyone have any recent word about him?
I wonder if any of these guys served in Vietnam?
Some didn't have it. Some kids had a nice, thick Southern accent, but I think the problem is also due to the audio. It made the host's voice sound a little slushed, too.
Do you have the rest of this show, where they're dancing to "Sweet Sweet Lovin'" (at the end of this clip)?
Good stuff.
I meant to say, early 1968 for the dance "Funky Broadway"
the blond girl on the right sure can dance
THEY ALL NEEDED TO TAKE A PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS.
The Steubenville students are calling their high school "Big Red."
"Interesting that so many kids in Steubenville Ohio speak with a bit of a southern drawl. Steubenville's most famous native daughter, Traci Lords never talked like that."
Probably had a good speech class to lose it, but then again I'm just kidding.
Dean Martin was born in Steubenville, Ohio. He was in the movie Some Came Running with Frank Sinatra. Dean played a gambler named Bama in the movie and based his southern drawl on people he knew from Steubenville. Steubenville was a steel mill town and there were a lot of southerners living there. Please check out the book the Rat Pack by Shawn Levy.
Does anyone have or know where I can find Teen Time recorded in Corpus Christi, TX?
Yo that one dude must be dancing to another song...everybody else dancing to the beat...js
“Bowling For Dollars” used this song for commercial breaks..
Nice seeing that this high school was at least partly integrated back then. In my junior high in 1968 there were very few blacks. If this had been in the deep south there would have been separate dances for whites and blacks.
It's in Pittsburgh. The announcer has a wonderful Pitts kind of accent.
Bonnie Speeg Stuebenville , Ohio apparently
I hear a Philly-NJ accent
Does anyone know when this show ended it's run?
Moses TKrikey - Do you have the rest of the footage, with them dancing to that Platters track??
2:20 dude is the precursor to Tom Cruise.
Is it just me?
Interesting that so many kids in Steubenville Ohio speak with a bit of a southern drawl. Steubenville's most famous native daughter, Traci Lords never talked like that.
Steubenville's most famous native son, Dean Martin, did speak with a bit of a southern drawl.
What state is this high school located in. I love this song, but I nver realized the 60's generation looks like slow motion compared to today. Thanks for the video, it was a trip.
Ohio
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
He talksh all Juishy...And half the kids mock his lishp right to his face. LOL
Yes, she most definitely has more style compared to the others. Hope
fully, she ended up in the fasion industry or somewhere she could put her talent to good use!
@tbirdtim Uh 1967 was when a lot of the hippie stuff cam about.
Wow that little blonde sure is digging it
I also had another thought. Wouldn't this song be a great Mashup to "Let's Hang On To What We've Got". I look at the guys and wonder if any of them got drafted to Vietnam.
I'm sure they did. I should have scrolled further down because I posted the same comment. Google Newspaper archives has the Toledo Blade , and Youngstown Vindcator on line. There were a lot of articles of troops from Ohio serving in Vietnam.
They actually "Stole" this from American Bandstand. The only difference was he kids were asked their Name and Age, not their High School.
Technically, there were hundreds of these sorts of shows across the country that did the same thing.
Is this Robin Seymore program? Dick Clark what?? one thing for sure not "Soul Train" but these kids can do the funky chicken 😄
Hilarious!!
As a tv host, this was definetely not Ed Sullivan, Kassey Kassum, nor Dick Clark.
Do the Barnsville!!!!!!
Does anyone know where this was?
I wasn't allowed to go to anything at school.
Wow, check out all the plaid at 2:55.
Boys never change. 😂 their hairatyles still look the same today

Del was beautiful, whatever happened to him?
People used to be able to dance to pop music. Today it has to be "dance" music or you can't dance to it, supposedly.
