    50 Years Ago This Week…
    It is the end of the eventful summer of 1969 and the 3rd show of the new season and new set. The #1 song in the country for its first of 4 straight weeks is “Sugar, Sugar” by The Archies, “Green River” is at #3, “Get Together” is at #7 and “I Can’t Get Next To You” is at #10. Creedence Clearwater Revival made their first and only appearance on American Bandstand today.
    Several original videotapes from the 60’s had been discovered and featured on the 1992 broadcast of the “American Bandstand 40th Anniversary Special” including the few seconds I put in today’s clip. As this episode exists in color, I’m not sure why VH1 and Dick Clark decided to show the black & white kinescoped version of this episode in the 90’s and why the AwardsShowNetwork channel posted the black & white version of the interview with John Fogerty (?) Maybe the full episode was lost. At least we have a few precious seconds of color.
    Long-time regulars June Strode, Don Sanuskar & Robin Miller, and Frank Vanderpuil & Karen Sudlow are featured front and center throughout the dancing segment including (from left to right) at 3:21. Also dancing today are regulars Roni Menacker & Carl Ratcher seen at 4:02.
    …And this Friday a new TV show will debut on ABC about a lovely lady who was bringing up 3 very lovely, golden-haired girls, and marries a man with 3 boys of his own. “The Brady Bunch” premieres in 6 days on Sept. 26th.
    Thank you for watching and for all of your great comments...Groove on man!

    Skirts were short, hair was long. If I knew then what I know now...The 60s was a great decade for music. However 1969 was the best, music-wise! Best wishes to all from Canada.

      In 1969, I heard every category of music on one Top 40 AM radio station: Rock (Steppenwolf, Bob Seger, Iron Butterfly, Cream), Vocal (Tom Jones, Dusty Springfield, Bobby Vinton), Instrumental (Henry Mancini), Pop (Tommy James & the Shondells, the Turtles, Gary Puckett, 3 Dog Night, the Guess Who), Motown, Beatles and Rolling Stones, Country (Johnny Cash, Roy Clark), "Bubble Gum" (the Archies), even a little Gospel and Reggae. So you're right. The "pop" Top 40 once included everything.

    I'm 60 grew up watching American Bandstand every Saturday morning. The music absolutely the best ever, the girls all so beautiful and respectful of themselves, in the way they acted, the way they dressed, the way they conducted themselves. No orange hair no fat hog's with nasty tattoos. The guy's dressed nicely, they treated girls with respect and dignity. They also had a lot more respect for other human being PERIOD. Watching these videos takes me back to some wonderful thoughts and how lucky I was to grow up in such a cool generation.

    My God…how I miss those days….I loved those days! Nobody gave a damn a black man or a black band was singing!! I grew up during the Detroit Motown Days and that’s all I danced to..except for the hard rock bands, but I wanted to be Diana Ross…and I’m white! Know what my Mom said to me? If you want to be like her, than work hard at it and maybe one day you’ll sing like her. She enrolled me singing classed and I enjoyed it, but realized that wasn’t my life’s direction. But I can sing like a bird…Thanks Diana!!!

I saw him wearing some headphones and really enjoying and moving to music clips. I walked over and asked him what he was listening to. He turned to me and gave me the headphones. It was CCR and Fortunate Son.

A couple decades or more later we'd have a serial killer, Gary Ridgeway I think his name was, dumping his victims' bodies on the banks of the Green River in Washington state.
