1967 Dance Contest Couples:
1) Tom Johnson and Cathy Schuster.
2) Eddie Sanchez and Ruby Dake
3) Joe Gonzalez and Claudia Dyche
4) Famous Hooks and Jenny Nichols
5) Mike Langham and “Snook” DeCessio (Pat Dickinson standing in)
6) Not sure why there’s no couple #6
7) Ken Nordiv and Christy Schneider
8) Jeff Stein and Dee Dee DelCampos
There was a couple #9 that is also missing (?)
“In and Out of Love” just dropped out of the Billboard Top 40 last week and peaked at #9 back in December of ’67.
America had ”the bug” - Thanks to witty advertising, cheap cost and a reputation for reliability, the Volkswagen Beetle (or “Bug”) became one of the best selling cars in the U.S. in the late 60’s and early 70’s. Disney’s “Herbie the Love Bug” will premiere on Dec. 24. (My parents first car together was a ’69 Bug. I grew up riding often in the tiny area behind the back seat - the seatbelt-less area we called the back-back)
Jenny and Famous, if you ever see this, congratulations again! I hope you made good use of your new cars.
Philadelphia native Bobby Rydell, who passed away this week, made 11 guest appearances on American Bandstand both before and after the show moved to Hollywood. - Rest in peace. This month also marks the 10th anniversary (on April 18) of the passing of Dick Clark. We miss you Dick.
Thank you to @jthyme (Gary) for supplying this episode and thank YOU for watching and for all of your comments. You guys are the best!!!

First I appreciate the way everyone dressed as it shows respect for each other and the show. Dancers 1,2,3, and 4 are a perfect example of how skilled they all were. Also, compliments to the ladies on their hair styles and make up. Couchgrouch
I think Famous and Jenny's reactions to winning the '67 Dance Contest said it all!🤣
Congrats to Famous and Jenny. I wonder how long they had those Volkswagens (and how they coped with the taxes due on the prizes!). All 3 couples were great dancers. With the price of gas today, that Honda motorcycle at 1:18 that gets 200 miles per gallon would come in very handy! One thing that surprises me is that American Bandstand was giving away foreign made vehicles in 1968.
Well, I'm quite sure they were only giving away whichever manufacturers were sponsoring the program & they were the company/companies supplying the items, motorbikes & vehicles.
🤷🏼♀️
VW Bugs had been around for years in America! I had a much older friend in college who had one in 1960 and just a few years later I had a VW Bug! Loved it! Great to drive, greatest gas mileage, easy to fix ( no radiator), and easy to fix!
Big Smile on my face over here. I recall from the preliminaries previously posted that these three couples were the standouts so it's a treat watching them featured here. I have seen Jenny Nichols comment here on the channel before. Jenny, congratulations on the win well deserved and your reaction was very sweet.
GREAT clip Aaron . I do remember Famous and Jenny with that warm smile .Again thank you for your time and is there anyway you could find out how long it took Famous to fall of cloud 9. He was great...lol
The reaction on Famous's face was priceless!! Love it!!
Seeing Famous and Judy embrace and smile with jubilation is PRICELESS
I couldnt rember if it was Famous or Thamous. But i was pleased still. Im older now. Lol
This is Famous Hooks and Jenny Nichols not Judy Strode.
I never tire of these clips, no matter how many times I've seen them thru the years and I've been collecting vintage videos since 1985. What I'm mostly excited about is.......what's to come in the very near future. Aron, I hope your posters and subscribers have their seatbelts on because it will be a WILD ride, for sure!!
That’s quite the teaser Gary 😆 👍
Seatbelts fastened!!!
All great dancers, great prizes. Thank you
LOVE FAMOUS HOOKS & Jenny Nichols ❤️‼️ I was 9 when this aired 🤠😎❤️‼️ Thanks Aaron for the Memories ‼️ This was AB's second Dance Contest '68. 4:06 in the video Famous Hooks has the BEST DANCE MOVE I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE ‼️
Wow, what a great clip! I smiled the whole video, now my face hurts! Lol Such a moment. I loved how the runner ups gave it their all so we could see why they were in the top 3. They tore it up! I wonder if Famous & Jenny have pics if themselves with these cars & how long they had them... Jenny was so overcome with emotion, she could hardly dance. The significance of them winning a contest on national TV in the 60s... WHOA!!!
Aaron, what a great conclusion to Wednesday's clip, I looked forward to seeing this (and the weekend) since then! I'll be watching this again later on, what a great way to start my weekend! Thanks Aaron & shout out to Jean & our main man Don!!! RIP Bobby & Dick (has it really been 10 years??? Same with Don Cornelius, ugh)
From my understanding of American Bandstand, they were the first African-American couple to win the show's Dance Contest (a significant milestone at that time).
@@AdrianDeVore Thanks for that! I'm sure a certain region of this country felt a way about that win back then, but hey, what a moment & I'm so happy for them, even though I wasn't even a blip on the radar yet! Lol
@@thruthealcove You're welcome.
@@AdrianDeVore you are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT 💯👍🏽‼️ We LOST Our Minds over the Black couple winning on AB in North Carolina back then. I know I did it was truely a Glorious moment in History.
@@annahshoffner1871 It was a major moment of celebration back then for our people! 🤯
Wonder if Famous and Jenny were ever a couple? Either way, they had great chemistry and really seemed to like one another. Sweet people.
Famous Hooks and Judy Strode were EXCELLENT TOGETHER TOO ❤️🤠😎‼️
Agreed!
Jenny commented on the "Windy" Dance Contest video a year ago, remembering the excitement of this moment. So nice to see. Not the original color videotape, but we'll take it. BTW I have that GE Wildcat record changer. Lol
Idk why I screamed when he announced that Famous & Jenny won? What a time ! I wish I had the opportunity to live when this aired.
Awesome clip of the eternal youth of all these beautiful people and their excellent dancing! 🎉❤️😎
I was 7 years old when this happened it was still a rarity to see black folks on TV let alone ABS I watched that show faithfully until Soul train hit the airs. 🙌
Great clip, Aaron - thank you!! I like the logo on the bottom right corner too. Have a great weekend everyone!!
Famous and Jenny, that was priceless!!❤️
Dick was crazy about him! Another great clip, Aaron..
My favortie couple Famous and Jenny won!!
I love these old clips. Never knew Famous won one of the contests. He’s my all time favorite! I’d love a chance to just kick back and talk to him. I hope he’s enjoying retirement after a long career as a teacher and coach.
Famous and Jenny's reaction to winning is priceless. Cathy looks disappointed at only being runner-up. I replayed the posted clips of everybody in this contest dancing. Couple #3 probably came in 4th, couples 5,7 and 8 didn't look very good. Aaron identified girl #3 as Claudia Dyche. I'm sure he'll replace that ? soon so as not to get it confused with the Mysterians' lead singer.
I listened to her name a dozen times, but couldn’t even make a guess. Perhaps she cried 96 tears after she lost.
@@YCDTI PRICELESS!
Vintage Commercials😎
L♡VE the guys reaction to winning!! And the PRIZES were so cool!!
The black couple who won was simply overjoyed.
Wow, amazing. Loved this clip.Maybe Famous and Jenny are watching. As an aside, Aaron, I must say this is the first time I'm watching from sunny, hot, Las Vegas
Welcome to Vegas Andrew . Hottest day of the year so far today, which is pretty nice in April. Have a great time!
Tks😊
Awesome and fun to watch!
Man, i wish i was there those were the good all days not like today most of the young people now wear pants showing their butts and no close
dancing to romantic music.
I like couple #2!!
Thank you Aaron. I really, really enjoyed this.
Couple 2 was best…not even close
THANKS for the memories, Aaron
Our farm had a cattle herd for 90 years. almost for our farm's history. Our last bull was a black angus..Son of Nu. We came home one evening and saw him in our front yard.
Our cattle lived in virgin prairie with a lake. They came up to the barn when they were tired of grass. We herded them quietly with subtle hand movements. We told this to the farmers who bought our herd, but they didn't believe us. They yelled at the cattle who panicked , crashed through a holding fence, and hid in a corn field for over a day..
Off topic .Have you heard of American Bandstand? Several teen dancers joined the service or became farmers.
ALL OF THEM WAS JAMMING..THEY COULD DANCE AND NONE OF THEM MISSED A BEAT..
Great example of real achievement...
We have the
1. Black couple
2. Hispanic couple
3. White couple..
🌹🌹🌹
A sign of progress in 1968!🙂
Rigged.
I remember that day. I was an avid Bandstand watcher. This was the first time that they had Black contestants on this show. I still remember the Black contestants name until this day. It was Thamous Hooks. I was so stunned and glad this happened
I really thought it would be Couple #2 (based on the previous clip from 1967, but glad I found the clip where I know who won), but all of them were pretty great. I really wish I were around at this time (wasn't born until November of '69) to see when teens actually danced and just had fun.
Dance contest was rigged
150 LPs? Wow.
I was 10 when this aired and the proud owner of a blue Honda 50!!
Separate prizes for "boys" & "girls".....Today, "How dare you assume someone's gender!"
ALL THE COUPLES ARE DANCING 💃 🕺 TOGETHER.TEN YEARS BEFORE "DISCO". LOVE IT.
Royal Safari typewriter? You can only use it in the jungle 😂😂
I want the bike with the stick shift the girls can have the record player 🤣🤣🤣
These teens are now in their late 60s, early 70s! They’ve slowed down a bit!
So they go from kids toys to a car?! Aren't these people the same age?
Would you happen to have the episode of Hootenanny at Syracuse University that featured the Clara Ward Gospel Singers singing “Come On In The Room” 1964? Or any other Clara Ward Footage?
Many many thanks Aaron.
They look like they're lined up ready to get shot 🤔
Nothing like a good old fashioned jitter bug! I so miss it!
Couple #3 should have WON
And whoever said kids stopped couples-dancing in the late ‘60s?!! These guys all could DANNNNCE!!! 👏 🥇
Thank Good for Soul Train. But I will give Dick Clark his due. He had many Black artists on his show. At that time there were only a few places that we could see Black artists live on television
Nah,Soul Train was boring.
Both Soul Train & American Bandstand were good
Nice clip
that was easy - I picked all 3.
I knew it 🤣🤣🤣
This makes me happy. All the turmoil of 1968 was ahead of them, just like 2022 and its turmoil is ahead for us. They all seem young and happy
Thanks for sharing! That was beautiful!
Famous was on for some years correct…? Anyone know if that was only dance contest he won…?
Famous danced on the show from 1964 to about 1973-4 and he only won this dance contest.
Yes this was the only one that he won. Frank V. won the first dance contest to Neil Diamond's song "You Got to Me" in 1967.
@@annahshoffner1871 Wonder were and if Jenny Nichols is doing well and what she did after Bandstand?
@@gregmoore7709 🤷🏾 I don't know. I've often wondered about them especially Famous Hooks. I also wonder how Judy Strode the late actor Woody Strode's daughter is doing. I know that Frank V. passed away years ago from AIDS. I hear from Dancer Don S. on this site periodically and I know that he's doing well but that's all I know about the regulars.
Famous did well for himself and a while back on Aarons show , it was said he's doing well.
Mike Langham ❤️
i was just getting back from RVN
I'd give it a 72 cuz it has a good beat and you can dance to it.
I posted on the wrong site . Sorry about that.
SINCERELY YOURS CHARLETNEWTON
It was even rigged back then.
Couple 1 was very good ,
@ 4:05 @ 👀👍🏽
I want the VW Bug!!!
Famous is adorable.
I'm I missing something; did they really expect a girl to ride that bike?.....(seriously)🤯🙄
Are you kidding me? 😳
RACIALLY SEGREGATED back then aa usual
How's that?
@@yossarian6799 Actually the baby boomer generation was a little before my time and also segregation doesn't sound that bad these days.
