  • Airdate: September 17, 1966
    Here's another Bandstand-like teen dance show that were so ubiquitous back in the 60’s. Swingin’ Time was broadcast from CKLW Channel 9 in Windsor, Ontario, Canada and also seen in Detroit (just across the Detroit River). Hosted by Detroit radio legend Robin Seymour, the show ran from 1965 to 1968.
    If you’d like to see the whole episode, which includes guests Bob Seger, Dionne Warwick, and (as seen at the end) James Brown, check out @Debbie Daughtry ”swingtime” on YT where I found this clip. I believe she was a dancer on the show. Thanks for the clip Debbie.
    “Bus Stop” peaked at #5 today on the Billboard Hot 100.
    Thank you for watching! More great dance clips to come.

    I always liked this song. I met Graham Nash of the Hollies/Crosby, Stills and Nash in 1983 on stage at Wembley Arena in London. I accompanied a friend who had won a contest promoting CS&N "Allies" LP and tour. We had backstage access and were escorted on stage just before start of concert. Graham came over to us and said hello and a few words. As the concert was about to start Graham noticed a roadie start to escort us from stage to our seats and he told roadie no- to let us stay on stage. So we sat in folding chairs on same side where Graham played piano. We were actually fairly close so it was pretty cool. Graham was very friendly,welcoming and gracious. Stills and Crosby not so much. Then afterwards backstage had a unique encounter with Jimmy Page. But that's another story.

    Windsor, Ontario was for a time, the main decider of what was popular and not popular in music in North America in the 60s and early 70s. CKLW (L for London and W for Windsor)...or the Big 8. This is classic footage and would love to see more.

    Thanks for this clip, Aaron! I agree with Don about seeing what others were up to at the time. I imagine there may have been many local dance shows like Casey Kasem's Shindig(KTLA 5) and Llyod ThaxtonShow (KCOP 13) Sam Riddle's Ninth Street West(KHJ 9) were local to LA. I hope James Brown survived that attack!!! Bob Seger seemed to get a real kick out of it..haha
