  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ค. 2021
  • Airdate: October 11, 1969
    I’ve posted this clip several times in various forms and here it is one more time, one of my all-time favorite AB clips, now colorized. (thanks to Andrew Haberman)
    "Sugar, Sugar” is #1 for the 4th week in a row today on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the #1 song of 1969.
    Dancing to the top 10 today are: Cathy Kilborn at 2:25, Frank Vanderpuil at 3:27, Carl Ratcher at 3:32, Marty Mane at 3:35, Don Sanuskar & Roni Menacker (in silhouette) at 3:40, and Art (on our right) and Rudy (on our left) Mikaelian with Robin Miller at 3:47 all doing a dance called, appropriately enough, “the Spinner.”
    Please (please) get vaccinated if you haven’t already and thank you for watching!

      The Archies are of course a fictional band. From Wilipedia:
      "A set of studio musicians was assembled by Don Kirshner in 1968 to perform various songs. The most famous is "Sugar, Sugar", written by Jeff Barry and Andy Kim,[1] which went to number one on the pop chart in 1969, sold over six million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.[8] In the Billboard Hot 100, it was ranked as the No. 1 song of that year, the only time a fictional band has ever claimed Billboard's annual Hot 100 top spot. Other Top 40 songs recorded by the Archies include "Who's Your Baby" (U.S. No. 40), "Bang-Shang-A-Lang" (U.S. No. 22), and "Jingle Jangle" (U.S. No. 10).[1] "Jingle Jangle" also sold over one million copies, garnering a second gold disc award."

      The 1960s were bifurcated. We lived in the Bay Area of California from1967-68 -- I was in the 2nd and 3rd grades. The hippies in San Francisco wore long hair, smoked dope, many viewed bathing as optional, "free love" being practiced in the park .. I saw all tht first hand. Riots near our home scared me as a kid... I remember my dad turning down one street in Berkley only to see hundreds of hippies and college students coming down the street with signs against the Vietnam War, while fires burned in the background. Pretty traumatic stuff... While all that was happening, other teenagers and college students were clean cut and the girls were wearing miniskirts...

At least you don't see the gjrls dancing like cats in heat and guys tossing gang signs in the air with their fingers, wearing pants 10 sizes too big. Kids today don't know how to dance and this rap music is talentless. I would say yes, the 1960's were innocent compared to today. They'd have to put an X rating on bandstand today if it were still going.

Built a music empire promoting Rock music - he was attacked in the '50s and '60s by religious groups and many prominent figures because it was "evil, devils, music.

    My Sister was 12 years old. My brother Rick was 10 years old. My neighbor Cindy Cunningham was 11 years old. And yours truly Ronald Hansen was 3 years old when Andy Kim sang the Archie song Sugar Sugar. What great memories of your childhood days in the summer of 1969. Tumi songs are really good in that era. Like zager and Evans in the year 2525.

    I remember getting the cereal box just for the record that was part of the package. Written by Andy Kim who had a hit in '74 with Rock Me Gently.

    I just found this channel and subscribed! The Asian lady in the purple dress is rather pretty. It’s funny to watch this, everyone is so spread out. The earlier episodes pretty much had people dancing on top of each other. God help you if you had claustrophobia! Thank you for this!

      I might be wrong, but I think she is Hispanic. I was 12 years old when this aired on tv and remember when she said her name on rate a record it was a Hispanic last name also remember Famous Hooks, a long time dancer.
