American Bandstand 1966 - Top 10 - Barbara Ann, The Beach Boys
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มี.ค. 2019
- Airdate: February 12, 1966
Back in December, The Beach Boys new single “The Little Girl I Once Knew” (an amazing song!) wasn’t getting much radio airplay due to its unusual moments of silence causing “dead air”. Instead, DJ’s started playing “Barbara Ann” from their new album,“ Beach Boys‘ Party!”. As they were trying to be more progressive (“Pet Sounds” was already being recorded at this time) they were surprised when Capitol Records included the impromptu cover on the album and were even more surprised when it became a big hit after being released as a single. Carl Wilson once referred to it as “the bane of their existence” as, while they were trying to be taken more seriously, they had to play this “simplistic” but very popular song at every concert…and still do to this day. ”Barbara Ann” is at #4 today and peaked at #2 last week on Billboard, and was #1 on Cashbox 2 weeks ago.
Regulars Dancing today: June Strode (0:47), Lori Montgomery (0:56), Judy Michaud (1:50), Famous Hooks in sync with Steve Schreiner (1:55) and Jeff Hight (2:22). Eagle-eyed viewers might also catch a fast glimpse of Frank Vanderpuil and Peggy Wagggoner.
…..And in 5 days (Feb. 17) Brian Wilson will start recording “Good Vibrations” with the Wrecking Crew. It will be completed over 6 months later on Sept. 21 and released on 0ct. 10. - เพลง
This brings back memories for me when i was a teenage girl in the mid sixties. I remember watching American Bandstand every Saturday. Thanks for sharing the video.
You can say that again…
These songs are my favorite songs, so tell me are you a good dancer..?
I am a 90’s baby and my parents were a lot older so they listened to “Oldies” music but I will be honest, I do believe this was America’s purest time for music. Some of the songs I would listen to with my mom in the car would make me cry or make me wonder my existence like after hearing Eleanor Rigby for the first time. It truly brought a whole new perspective and outlook on life to my eyes. It made me question my existence and my purpose and helped me visualize how short our time is on Earth. From this genre, I learned to love like tomorrow is not guaranteed and to cherish all of the memories I am making because you never know what life has in store for you. Oldies music taught me that everyone has a purpose in life no matter how big or small. It also taught me that you can always turn to music when you are feeling down. If you are reading this, don’t forget you are AMAZING, and you have a PURPOSE.
Nicole.....you sound pretty amazing as well!
So nice to read your comment!! I was a 60s teen. Loved watching American Band Stand!! You're right about the music!! Nothing can compare to the music, the lyrics, and the dancing!! I listen to all types of music. One of my favorite music is listening to the Oldies!! Amazing you are!!! 😍
Late 12 /65 , I was 8 yr old, and heard this on Philly's,Famous 56 WFIL.
I'm a kid of the 80s and teen of the 90s, and when garage bands finally faded out to the motown pop machines, the band stand died with the music of that era.
The true oldies, fron our perspective, are something else for sure, and to think these kids of the 50s and 60s got up there in suits and fashionable dresses, hair combed and brushed, with big smiles on their faces. Their music always told a story about love and love lost as well as their ambitions to find it again.
As the music progressed into the 60s, 70s, 80s, and then 90s, we did see an evolution that started to expose more raw feelings and of course sex, and love started to take a back seat. After the Pop music machines chopped up the legacy field, so to speak, we saw early rap and techno begin to inject themselves into the Pop Genre. That began the digital takeover we see today with all this machine generated and designed music that all sounds the same with auto tuned vocals since hardly anyone can sing anymore, especially with the digital music backgrounds and beat machines, that are almost unnatural to acoustic vocals.
I don't like what's happened to music this day and age, and the further we go into technology and social media with incentives for 'likes' and favor to advertisers as well as all these nonsense woke social justice and idendity virtues, the more it seems that humanity has left the studios, so to speak. What we see and hear now is designed and manufactured copies that use constant hooks and beats in a desperate attempt to go viral and create fame for the music makers.
Music is purchased by others who create it off stage and sell to the highest bidders. They can analyze each song and value it based on their projection of popularity, and the purchaser can then own the rights to the song and create vocals relevant to today's society and poisoned youth culture.
I can easily say that none of these modern music groups or whatever you want to call them these dayz can pass the test of time like we see with eternal bands like Pink Floyd, Alice in Chains, Aerosmith, etc.
Modern Pop and hip hop music is hardly memorable and barely worthy of any recommendation for future generations. If we can destroy the machines that create and influence youth culture one day, which comes from the political above, then perhaps humanity can return back to their roots and pick up where we left off at the end of the 90s era of music.
@@debbygordon1432 I totally agreed with you…

We really were a bunch of movers back in those days. Can still do it, but not the whole song. We still rocking, ain’t it nice we gotten the memories?
YES!!!!
In 1966 , I was 16 and so alive 😎🎶🎶🎵💙
In 66 I was a Senior in H.S.
Me too! We had so much fun!
16 years old and loving it!
Best decade of music
In ‘66 I was 16 too
My aunt bought this 45 record for me.....first one I ever owned. Still have it.
Awesome 👏
These songs are my favorite songs, so tell me are you a good dancer..?
I had tons of 45s and wish I still had. Hang on to that 45!!!!!
I was 18 then and loved the beach boys. Still listen them.
Same as well!
This songs are my favorite songs, so tell me are you a good dancer..?
Great Song! theses kids are having the times of there lives. Music was the Best back then. So sad that the world was in chaos. some of these young men we're probably drafted into the Vietnam War. "God Bless" them. ❤✌🇺🇸
'66, a symphony of musical creativity .... the competition was intense... thanks for posting. .. outstanding snapshot. Capitol playing it "safe" with the Beach Boys while trying to comprehend what Brian was creating...
Well said @Dave Sparks. The Beatles and Brian Wilson were always ahead of their time.
Live At A Beach Boys Party was my first R&R album. It was left behind when my older Brother was in high school (boarding). It was 1966 and I was 7 and I wore that record out! still know every song by heart.
So iconic that it gives me chills
I totally agreed with you…
This songs are my favorite songs, so tell me are you a good dancer..?
The year I graduated from High School! Best music ever!
You can say that again…

The '66 kids were rocking and reeling as dancing became more expressive (a foreshadowing of the future) during this Beach Boys song!
@Adrian DeVore How about the guy who first shows up at the 44 mark! The way he's holding his arms looks so uncomfortable.
@@oldiesgeek454 He was trying to connect with the beat.
@@oldiesgeek454 He looks so "goofy" 😄 0:44
This is a remake of a song that The Regents took to the top 20, five years earlier. I wasn't sure how this will would have translated to the dance floor. After seeing this clip, I think I can dance to this one. I liked their previous hit, "The Little Girl.." because of the beat and the breaks (I do a stop and freeze when the silence comes around just like the cocktail party skit of the television series Laugh-In).
@Scott Grudziadz Barbara Ann was written by Fred Fassert that was first recorded by the Regents. Their version was released in 1961. The most famous cover version was recorded in 1965 by the Beach Boys.
Graduated from HS in 66 and off to war I went!
Thank you for your service!
Thank you for serving🙏❤️💕
Glad you made it home :-)
The guys dancing look more expressive dancing to this song. Lol I love The Beach Boys! I grew up near where they lived, but I was a teeny kid then! Lol
So much History in this Song. It was actually done by The Regents whose "Version" was featured in American Graffitti and The Beach Boys Music All Summer Long was featured as well. This was from their Beach Boys "Party" which was like an early version of a MTV Unplugged Special. Jan & Dean for whom Brian Wrote Surf City and Sang Backup on was part of the session at The Last Minute. The Couple ot 0:48 are Famous Hooks and June Strode who were the first two popular Black Dancers on the Show.
Before I was born... But I love it ... And the BB harmonies🎶
16 years old living in L A couldn't ask for more. What the hell happened?
I grew up with the Beach Boys I'm from Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach California used to see The Beach Boys sometimes down in Manhattan Beach those were the days
@@janetsabers4965 went to west high in Torrance, hung out at pier ave in Hermosa beach. Wow those were the best of times
No, I didn't go to West High School in Torrance California I graduated from Aviation High School Redondo Beach California
The world had gone to shit. The music industry is trash.
@@bobrand3895 lived in Manhattan Beach.. awesome area! Miss it so much.
I was 17 in 1966. I loved the Beach Boys and having never left Cincinnati, I just had to find out what The Beach Boys were doing in California so I joined Uncle Sams Marine Corps The next year and I fell in love with southern California and to this day plan to live in La Jolla.
This is 1 of,my fave songs by the beach boys!!!
In the summer of 1966 my family moved to California from Kansas. Went to the beach asap, and I could hardly believe my eyes! The BEACH BOYS WERE RIGHT! I had never seen the ocean, the beach or a girl in a bikini. OMG!
I had no idea that this was originally done by The Regents that was featured on The American Graffiti Soundtrack. Brian Wilson also as you know wrote Surf City for Jan & Dean and sang Backup on and when it went to Number One before a Beach Boys Song did, his Father was upset feeling he gave away the Number One Song. In n reality Jan & Dean made a last minute appearance on this Song. In it's own way it was the first Unplugged Album.
"Barbara Ann" #1 in the world! Dean helped out a lot too! Love it!
Love ❤️
My youngest son was very colic for the first 9 months of his life and I had the night duty to care for him while my beautiful wife slept. She had to care for him and the other 3 kids during the day shift. During the night I would soothe his back and tummy to relieve the pain and softly sing any songs I could think of to distract him. It worked. He liked going to the "guitar mass" at noon as he called it at about age two or so. One day as we were all holding hands across the pews (we were in the second pew) and singing The Lord's Prayer he started belting out Barbara Ann. Our Monsignor turned and glared at him disapprovingly as if he was singing in a different language which he was. Our Monsignor still had a thick Irish brogue and loved his San Diego Chargers of the early 80's. The Beach Boys not so much. After mass a nun approached my wife and banished my son to a back "infants room" of the church sealed off with a sound proofed window.
Apologies for the wordiness.
That’s a good memory.. Thank you for sharing it..
My son sang this in high school chorus as a freshman ...he was an All State tenor and got to sing the high vocals ... he nailed it!
Awesome 👏
This songs are my favorite songs, so tell me are you a good dancer..?
Thanks!
I remember those pointed toe dress shoes worn by Latino men back then--very popular
Viva the memory and music of The Beach Boys.
"Hal Blaines famous ashtray" RIP Hal.
I got up and danced to it
You go Andrew Haberman! I did too, lol.....Love that!
@Andrew Haberman go for it!
I know all those top 10 songs. I couldn't tell you any top 10 songs now.
I was the same way during the 80s when it came to Top 10 songs. I don't have time these days to keep with today's Top 10.
neither could I but sadly I'll bet that a lot of them have a bunch of bad words in their titles / lyrics
@@mrob75 Amen!
I know most of the songs there, save one, but I'm a teen nowadays and I don't know what's hot on the hit parade. If I do listen to modern music, it's probably independent.
practically all hall of fame recordings.
I was 11 and this was my favorite show!!!
Ran home to watch. Love it
Man I wish I was a teenager then. Awesome
Sing it do it this was my husband's song he passed 1996
I’m sorry to hear about your loss…
This songs are my favorite songs, so tell me are you a good dancer..?
I was on leave and listened to Jimmy Hendrix around then, for the first time. Took a 45 back to play on my battery powered record player, we wore it out.
Don Berry One of my favorites was All Along The Watchtower. I wore my cassette out many years back!
I love the shot of the guy dancing in his Beatles boots. Very cool. I wanted a pair but no way my mom was going to buy Beatle boots for her little boy. Rats!!
Wow! This aired two weeks before I was born!
Excellent dance tune - I was 15 in UK and loved it. Mind you, some of the boys dancing on this video look utterly self conscious and others, to use a Yorkshire expression, complete wazzocks.
Who could not have fun dancing to this classic Beach Boys cover hit? The now "solid" Los Angeles regulars were so young! Found Frank and Peggy, but let's let Jean and her fan club post the Where's Waldo time stamp ;--). I think I caught a glimpse of Debbie Sewell too. Lots of fun Aaron!
You'll have to help these old eyes a bit @dancer don. I didn't see Peggy at all and I think Frank was looking for the loo. 🚽
@@thefirstMrsLankton LOL At 0:30 is Frank with Peggy getting out of the bleachers onto the dance floor. All you can see of Peggy is her in front of Frank as Frank either follows Peggy's lead to the floor or Frank leads Peggy to to the dance floor holding tight to Peggy's waist ... it's a nanosecond shot. ;--)
@@dancerdon9175
Got it! I was close. I said :32 and all I was seeing was Frank's back. I didn't spot Peggy. This clip is a hoot! Love it Aaron.
I saw a quick shot of Frank and Peggy. Another great clip
@Jean Lankton, don’t feel bad. Editing this clip, I’ve probably watched it around 50 times and I just now spotted Peggy....and my eyes are pretty good, lol. Kudos to Don!
1966....my sister's wedding isn't until June. Aaron I think I spotted Frank's back at :32 either looking for a bathroom or his dance partner. The guy at :54 is the same one who stomped and clapped his way thru "Take A Letter Maria"....with gusto! And at 1:38 we have a future traffic cop in training. I don't see my beloved @dancer don . This was a great song! Another sing along. To this day it still gets me to turn up the car radio!
Speaking of dancin'...2 great SEC teams will meet up tomorrow in the Elite Eight. The Kentucky Wildcats will square off with the Auburn Tigers for a chance to go dancin' in the Final Four.
In March of 1966 the NCAA Championship Game was about to make history. Texas Western (later UTEP) and the Kentucky Wildcats were playing for all the marbles at Maryland's Cole Fieldhouse. For the first time in NCAA history, Texas Western's Coach Don Haskins put 5 black players on the floor to start the game.....against Kentucky's all white squad (which included Pat Riley). Kentucky lost the game 72-65. The symbolism has more or less developed a life of it's own over the years, when initially the players involved didn't think much about it. Eventually Hollywood came calling, and in 2006 Glory Road was released; a film "loosely" based on the events that Spring of 1966. GOOOOO BIG BLUE!!!
Ohhh, I LOVE the historical reference!! Thank you for sharing that. Crank up that radio @Jean Lankton and good luck to your Wildcats!
@@YCDTI I'm part of the #BigBlueNation! Thank you Aaron! 💙
Fun time in America, yes America was carefree and great back then.
That was the height of the Civil Rights Movement and the thousands of young men were about to be sent to their death in Vietnam.
Sky One it was a turbulent, divisive decade also marked by three political assassinations.
I don’t think so . The Vietnam War was splitting the country . This show had a very strong dress code too.
My senior year! Geez!
Vera Nice mousic old 🎸🥁🎷🌹
Love it.
Featuring Dean Torrance from Jan & Dean helping out on vocals.
Very Good! It was from their Beach Boys Party which was like a Pre-Unplugged Jam Session. Also, Brian Wilson Wrote Surf City for Jan & Dean and sang Backup and it went to Number One. As you also know both The Beach Boys All Summer Long & The "Original" Version by The Regents were both featured on The American Graffitti Soundtrack.
@@laminage laminage you are always a wealth of added statistics and facts! "All Summer Long" is a personal favorite.
Always spot on NEW GROOVES RADIO!
@@laminage Brian only co-wrote Surf City. The very under-rated Jan Berry also had a hand in it!
Thanks for the info.
I was drafted in May of 1966 and sent to basic training at Fort Jackson, SC. After graduating from basic training, it was off to Fort Monmouth, NJ for advanced training, then to Viet-Nam for 18 months with the 4th. Infantry Division. 1966 to 1969 was the most radical and chalanging time of my life.
Thank you for your service @Steve Hazzard
@@YCDTI Thank you!
I see talk show host Mike Douglas had a hit at number 8. That's a bit ironic since his show was shot in Philly, and then later relocated to Hollywood just like AB did.
Bababa barbara ann . 🎶🎶
What happened to our world? Everyone was so much happier back then.
Didn't need a Master degree to make a living.
I wouldn’t say much happier for people of color but I do agree in some respects it was a much simpler time. Time where forming relationship and making memories were at the forefront of America’s societal culture.
Love Barbara Ann !
Dig those crazy pointed shoes. I can remember at least one guy in our school that had a pair. Any more than most modern clothes as well at that time. Love the Beach Boys
the Supremes @#5 ........my favorite :P
If we brought back shows like this on television- got rid of all news and violent movies can you imagine the change in society?
The scuff marks on the dance floor 2:31 are a testament to how much fun these kids were having back then. Why does it seem like life was simpler back then? I know that era had its own sets of problems, but you wouldn't know it for the fun they seemed to be having on AB.
“My Love” may have been #2 on Bandstand’s Top 10, but was already #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 at the time of this episode!
What really stands out to me is the "sweater vest" that the guys were wearing in '66!!!
Wow. Looking back at my teenage years dancing to this song was embarrassing. Those dances make me laugh now. Lol
God bless America. Semper Fidelis.
Hi Aaron...What a GREAT clip! A lot of the early '66 kids here were doing some kind of fast front to back shuffle with their feet....(Check out Famous Hooks). 1961 kids would have jitter bugged their way through the original "Barbara Ann". Interesting to see how Dick and the Bandstand kids esteemed so highly the David & Johnathan (concurrent Beatles hit) "Michelle". My favorite dancer today is the big fellow at 0:44, 0:56 and 1:36 (doing what appears to be the Rifleman...LOL) who is so diggin' the vibe that he simply does not know what to do with himself. Second favorite is the guy with his tongue sticking out of his mouth cocked to one side at 1:29 :----)
Aaron, te luciste con este video.
I think we forget we're we evolve from over and over ?
Felicidad
started watching when I was 9ys
I totally agreed with you…
This songs are my favorite songs, so tell me are you a good dancer..?
Отличный музон!
Some of the Beatles were on the Barbara Ann recording.
Now I know where Genesis got the idea for the song We Can't Dance lol
at 1.33 Lauren's podner breaks into the shotgun...only time I've seen that on AB
OCS time for me. Prepping for a long trip.
I was 11 in ‘66.
The girl at the 0:38 mark really has it going.
They should have been doing the swing to this song.
All the guys must wear ties of course - wouldn’t want anyone to think things were getting casual
:45 "went to a dance, looking for romance, saw this guy dance, thought he had ants in his pants"
a couple of them actually look like they have something going wrong in their pants...
HAHA!! I know, right ?? @@alpha-omega2362
That guy has a nice pair of San Remos, aka ‘Puerto Rican fence climbers’.
In 1966 , I was 14
There was a parody of "Barbara Ann" called "Bomb Iran"!
You’re right!
This songs are my favorite songs, so tell me are you a good dancer..?
Guy reminds of pre wee herman
in the first 20 seconds of the song there is a girl with black hair and bangs wearing a white shirt some kind of clothing. Does she look familiar to anyone. Thank you
How ironic that the kids should be dancing the Philly Style jitterbug to this song. However the times changed and so did the dance steps!
57 secs...so that's where Peewee Herman got his moves
TIME IT WAS
AND WHAT A TIME IT WAS
A TIME OF INNOCENCE
A TIME OF CONFIDENCES
LONG AGO IT MUST BE
I HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH
PRESERVE YOUR MEMORIES THEY'RE ALL THATS LEFT YOU!😢⚘
Dean of Jan and Dean was co-lead vocal, according to Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach_Boys%27_Party!
Jan & Dean also singing with the Boys.
Dean Torrence is featured on lead vocals along with Brian Wilson, not Jan.

The very next day these boys were drafted and on their way to nam
0:45 Seriously Bruh ???
SERIOUSLY ??? 😧 0:57
All this time, I thought that song was called Bopperam...Go figure.
Kinda weird to see everyone doing the jerk if it’s supposed to be 1964. I didn’t see this match up a couple years ago but not it looks like someone matched up the lips moving to the music lyrics on this portion. These are So fun to watch . Imagine all the ladies are upper 79’s and into 89’s age and grandmothers by now. If we had the names we could identify a few if the dancers , aka “ the regulars” and try to figure out if Philly or is this west coast -Los Angeles ??
it’s f*d up that all of these folks are dead now
.49 bloke dancers like Gomer Pyle
Please upload The Regents version from 1961 on AB if you have it
Can you show the entire program with the t-bones song?
Do you remember the T-bone song was used in an Alka-Seltzer commercial
Russell Crawford no matter what shape your stomach's in.
I see Beatle boots.
Back then we called them 'Puerto Rican fence climbers'. I think the brand name was San Remo.
I know this is a long shot but in the first 20 seconds of the song there is a girl with dark hair, bangs a white shirt with dark clothing over it. is there anybody here that might have been there and know her. I just want to compliment her dancing
The guy with the sweater vest tucked into belted slacks ......
I totally agreed with you…

@@thomasserigo7483 oh yes..... I dance in my house.... at clubs..... any where I can! How about you????
@@kat35lulu88 I do love to dance 🕺 nice smile you got there on your profile picture!
@@kat35lulu88 I would like to get to know you better if you don’t mind? Where are you originally from? And where do you currently live?
@@thomasserigo7483 Isn't TH-cam the best! I get distracted easily on it reading all the comments. There are lots of funny folks out there. Should be a TH-cam convention where we could all meet. Wear name tags tee shirts from our home state. Maybe even hats..... lol.....
Famous Hooks and Denise Nichols??
Just old enough for the draft.
Thank you to all of Our Brave Vietnam Veteran's. 💞Love and Peace to all💞🇺🇸✌️
their dancing leaves a lot to be desired....then again Barbara Ann does not lend itself to dancing
