- Airdate: February 5, 1966
Paul Revere & the Raiders’ “Steppin’ Out” only reached #46 back in October ’65, but it was the beginning of an incredible run of 7 top 20 and 4 top 10 hits from 1965-1967. In this year alone (1966) they will have 3 top 10 hits including “Kicks”, “Hungry” and “Good Thing”.
“I See The Light” is the Five Americans’ first top 40 hit. It is at #45 today and will peak at #26 in March. They will have to wait until 1967 to score their next song in the top 40 but it will be their biggest hit, “Western Union”, which peaked at #5 in 1967.
“Batman” premiered on ABC last month on Jan. 12. The t-shirt that guitarist Drake Levin is revealed to be wearing was used to promote the show. The t-shirts were also given away as prizes for today’s Rate A Record judges (“Children & Flowers/It’s A Day). The sign that Phil “Fang” Volk is holding says “BATMAN IS COMING” which was most likely used on Bandstand at an earlier taping to also promote the TV series (the sign was not used or mentioned in today’s episode). Later this year, on Nov. 2, Paul Revere & the Raiders will appear on an episode of “Batman” titled “Hizzonner the Penguin”.
Dancing on the scuffed dance floor today are regulars: Lauren Montgomery (3:07), Terry Cooksley (4:38), Debbie Sewell (4:48), Melody McMurray (5:02) and Frank Vanderpuil (5:09).
If anything, Paul Revere & the Raiders was definitely one of a kind.
Can we just go back to 1966..? And change everything? This world is so rotten.
It would be nice to go back, get a ticket for this show, and see it live. Here's the funny thing. In 1966, the WW2 generation thought the country had gone to pot... Lol
So true Virginia, so true.
Virginia Miko ...you got that right!
scottbaino wow...like the rottenness is my fault??? I just see what I see and it isn’ t good. Those who lived during the 60’s know it wasn’t all roses but we had more love for our fellow man. All you need is love....the Bible said it first.
I would go back in a heartbeat too!
Always loved Paul Revere and the Raiders and their music.
Paul Revere was a very funny man !God Bless all of them!
I was there dancing that day. Amazing moment in my life.
The group is now enjoying a bit of a renaissance thanks to the film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, which features three of their tunes. Mark Lindsay is very active in social media and performing his heart out across the country.
Kevin Goins Great comment, yes the group is getting some well deserved love now!
I haven’t seen the movie yet and didn’t realize that PR&tR were on the soundtrack. That’s very cool!
@@YCDTI You'll also hear actual 93 KHJ radio jingles, and the Real Don Steele, coming from the Cadillac radio that Brad Pitt and Leo DeCaprio drive. It really adds to the authenticity of the 1969 time period. There's a scene here on YT that shows this. Type in the name Cliff Booth, and check it out.
Bonkers !! But we loved Paul and the Raiders!! Great group!! 🌺
Oh wow weren't they crazy???!!! Way to go Raiders! I love Mark Lindsay. Dick Clark was really joining in on the fun. I can't help but love the beautiful smile of Debbie Sewell as she sings along and ending with a big smile from our heartthrob Frank Vanderpuil. Oh it's all right, rock on kids!! Great Wednesday clip Aaron.
And today to us one and all, an extra hug, an extra bit of kindness and care. Maybe sometime this day won't hurt so much. 🇺🇸✌
I thought of you @Jean Lankton when they showed that last, brief, closeup of a very young looking Frank. I loved all the closeups of the dancers during the song too especially Melody, Debbie and Frank at the end.
Thank you for the kind words Jean and your nice thought.
1966 the best year for garage rock songs and bands!
Cool Paul Revere and The Raiders!!! Great memories!!! 💙
Now that's one cool band, I don't care what anyone says.
No electric cords on the guitars ! The magic of the 60's !!✌groovy man...
🚬👓...
Captain John Whoa... how did they do that?! 😂
@@JMarinelli that's what happens when you follow the yellow brick road. I mean, how else could Dick Clarke have stayed 28yrs old for 60 years? And now, back to our show!
💃🚶...
🚬👓...
Has a Rolling Stones vibe to it!!!😁😎
This is the REAL Paul Revere & The Raiders, and they really WERE this good live...
PR and the Raiders were always silly fun ..... I remember first hand.
Fang and his crazy self. I loved them all.
I was sitting here watching this video (along with a collection of other Raiders things) and I caught myself with a big smile on my face. Can't remember anything doing that to me since the early Beatle days...
EASILY the best band in history!
Oh dear! by the time these idiots were re-shuffling obsolete R'n'R, The Beatles were releasing Revolver!
thank you ''
Cool Drake dance moves at 1:00
Vietnam was getting into swing back then...remember the seniors talking and the faces I remember ... Some would not come home for sure...as is the case today..just a different place and different type of jungle
I met mark a yr later. Had a crush on him. Met him outside rona barrets tlk show. Gave him a shirt sweater tlked by his ferrari. I gave him my phone no.hopin hed call me just once. I waited by my phone fr 2 dys. Nope n i ws heartbroken. I ws 18 bt looked younger. Anywy. It affected me fr quite awhile. Thanx mark. U broke my💓
Ok, I ask you, my fellow 1960'ns; WHO had sisters whom had slumber parties that didn't play Paul Revere And The Raiders on their stack of 45's ??
alan spagnolia We didn’t have slumber parties. We lived in a small 3-berm flat w/2 parents, 3 teenagers & 1 grade schooler. Not much room. Loved watching “Where the Action Is”, listening to AM radio and just being young. Big-time Beatles fans but appreciated PR&R always!
@@marykuranda7254 I apologize, Mary Ann. But you do have positive memories of the great 1960;s, and when you get right down to it, that is all that matters, right ?
alan spagnolia You have nothing to apologize for. We owned our own house and I guess we were working class, middle class. If there is such a thing. No, we were not the Brady Bunch. I had no brothers and our parents sent us all to private school for 12 years. We lived comfortably but all of us pulled our weight. Both my parents worked. Us teens took summer jobs when we were of age. We babysat my sister’s kids when they were small. Most people in our neighborhood were the same kind of hardworking people. Back then we were lucky to have things, like a color TV in 1965, 1966. So, we were not poor, just had different priorities. Music was always playing in our house including Sunday polkas on the radio (we thought it was passé then, but I’ve come to appreciate the music). The ‘60’s were good in a lot of ways. We were young, our whole lives were before us, we had great music. Would not trade it for the world. It was great being young and being a teenager. We lived in the big city and had many opportunities to see bands and groups. We were so spoiled in that regard. We lived in a “golden age “ so to speak. TMI. Don’t apologize. Regards...
@@marykuranda7254 You DID have a great childhood, Mary Ann. Truly Blessed :) :)
That was one very insane performance!😂
Adrian DeVore in a good way
@@sadietravels6213 Yes!
@@AdrianDeVore They performed this song on Hullabaloo also. I believe the clip is here on YT... In living color!
@@oldiesgeek454 I've seen the clip featuring the Hullabaloo dancers and the go go dancers in the cage
@@sexymama1966 I believe only two original Hullabaloo show color video tapes survived, and that clip is from one of those.
Probably saw this one many years ago..loved American Bandstand
Drake Levin!!!!
So funny to see the old AB shows and "Where the Action Is" and "Shindig" where The Radiers had a lot of fun!
The Five Americans with "I See the Light"... Man! This tune of 1965 I really dig! Cranked up the radio volume super loud when it was on! I think I first heard its popularity in early 1966. I recall it so much that the tune always brings me around to one gal I had a "crush on, some" with her initials being P.G. The time I started to like her, another fellow moved in. That was okay to me after a short while...I got over it and sometime in the '70's they got married though, it didn't last. Sadly, the fellow passed away just a few years ago (2020). He was a nice guy.
So much fun! They are such wonderful and engaging performers!
And a great vocal performance from Mark Lindsay!
Really liked the other song too. I enjoyed every minute of this video! It made me feel good.
Coolness!
Theatrical with a Little Rock and Roll...dash of “garage rock”...a precursor to punk...one of a kind band that Clark promoted with his tv productions..thoroughly enjoy them today via my playlist...and the Five Americans definitely had a solid garage band sound but hit it big with their more “pop “ sounding song, “Western Union “. I remember that song in heavy rotation on top 40 am radio about the same time (?) as “Happy Together” and “Yellow Balloon “...
Still love those guys
Great Clip!
I saw them in revere mass mid 70s. They wete great
This performance is one of the reasons PRR are not in the HOF--the music snobs confuse this happy comedy with the music--they are not the same. The music is a separate deal. It stands on its own.They sold millions of records to millions of happy fans.
Ok......but don't forget that most of their songs was Mark Lindsay and a host of Terry Melchers' ace session men.
Great pop but it had nothing to do with "rock'n roll".
raiders forever!!
That is how we did it in 1966. So much fun.
How much fun can a band have?
Great sound. Didn't know they had wireless back in the 60's.
I got my Kicks back in the Day 🇺🇸 🖤
Paul Revere was a funny person!
The Raiders came at you. They weren't five guys flexing their knees in sync.
How could you not get caught up in the inspired goofiness that was Paul Revere and the Raiders? Great clip as always Aaron! And last week was my 59th birthday! Great present -- thanks!
Can you please put the T-Bones song NO MATTER WHAT SHAPE YOUR STOMACH'S IN
on American Bandstand for 2/5/66?
Lip sinking all the time and mostly slapstick like the marks brothers but the records were good
Cherokee people
I remember those days nineteen great music and hot cars and pretty girls back then boys 👦 like girls 👧
👢 Music!
There's 1 race - human
That's just as stupid as saying: "There's just one race: dogs". Yeah, sure. No difference between Dobemans, Collies and Chihuahuas!
Fun band, fun music. Where did they find the coats and hats?
Always thought Mark Lindsay was Paul Revere
Two different guys.
FANG!
SMITTY !!!! all day long.
Halloween came early!
That keyboard didn't have any cables connected, that was lip synched!
I just saw the full episode this was part of just within the past couple of days, but now I can't find it...??
UA-cam blocked it this afternoon 😕
@@YCDTI UGH!!! And I was looking forward to the full clip for "Like A Baby" by Len Barry. Any chance of posting just that part? I wonder what part of the show caused it to get blocked?
Double neck Mosrite, Proto Punk
Oh ...before the white tights
And to think they were making fun of Elvis and trying to censor what he did on stage 10 years earlier
First rap song yo!!
Corny and kitschy but great music.The silly costumes and shenanigans couldn’t survive the counter culture of the late ‘60s.
And he ws livin with terry melcher in sharon tates house befre she lived. There sooo if they hadnt hitailed it outa there it would have been them nt her who gt brutally murdered. So he gt lucky. N he knows it!
