American Bandstand 1950s Dance Partners Bob Clayton & Justine Carrelli

As a teenager in the late 1970s I always enjoyed watching American Bandstand on Saturday afternoons. This is a video I created of one of my favorite dance partners on the show from the 1950s Bob Clayton and Justine Carrelli. Famously known as Bob and Justine. Sadly Justine passed away in May 2023.

I’m sad to announce that dancer Justine Carrelli-Miller has passed away. According to Sue Cassidy Wilson she was undergoing surgery on May 24, 2023 and did not survive. The ABdancers channel sends it condolences to her family and friends.

I remember getting home from school to watch American Bandstand when the camera would show Justine I was like there's Justine!!!! Those were great days.

Bob and Justine were the Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue of American Bandstand in my opinion. They were such a stunning couple. RIP Bob Clayton. Iris of Manassas VA.

Wooo, I love Justine and Bob! I watched every day after school, beginning age 12, 1959...running to get to my girlfriend's house with her older teen sister and friends watching and drinking cokes. Massive memory.

Loved them as a kid but Pat Molieterri was the BEST DANCER and I always looked for her!!

Geeeez! This takes me right back to grade school: Kenny & Arlene, Bob & Justine, Pat Molitarri (sp?). Looking back it's just amazing "How Time Slips Away." Wink*

Bob Clayton served in my Delaware National Guard unit in the late 1960s.

I'd watch Bandstand with my mother waiting for my father to come home from work in the late-'50s and very early-'60s. There was also Maverick, Lawman, Cheyenne and James A. Michener's Adventures in Paradise with Gardner McKay to help while-away the day until dinnertime. This era lasted until June of '62 when we moved to our new home and the afternoon schedule changed a bit. Arguably the best years of my life being doted-on by my parents and so many loving relatives who loved spoiling my younger brothers and me. Ah, the grand, good old days.

Sorry about Justines passing. She had a fun time on BS. PRAYERS. ❤

Justine always looked depressed. She rarely smiled. Bob wasn't that crazy about her. He just enjoyed the publicity.

When I saw Bob Clayton, I thought it was future $20,000 Pyramid announcer, but it's not, right?.
