Facts about this interview: At the time of this interview April was 35 years old, Nino (her brother) was 30 years old and Dick Clark was 34 years old. April past away a few weeks on ago in 2023 at age 94. Her brother is still alive at 88 yrs old. Dick Clark died in 2012 at age 82. RIP Dick and April.
That was an interesting dynamic. Normally in a lot of brother/sister duos the brother is the senior partner with his younger sister. Here the roles were reversed. In fact, April fudged on her age claiming she was younger than what she was. Of course, she pretty much had to since a lot of the other female pop singers were considerably younger.
Love these vintage Dick Clark interviews! I also enjoy spotting things in the background, such as a glimpsing of 6 of the AB Top Ten hits: AMERICAN BANDSTAND TOP TEN 1. LOVE ME DO - THE BEATLES 2. MY GUY - MARY WELLS 3. RONNIE - FOUR SEASONS 4. BITS AND PIECES - DAVE CLARK FIVE 5. (JUST LIKE) ROMEO AND JULIET - THE REFLECTIONS 6. CHAPEL OF LOVE - DIXIE CUPS I'd wager this chart is from the late May - early June 1964 range. I wonder how much acting Nino Temple wound up doing? CHEERS!
So I was curious why they needed to explain what a Grammy Award was, but then I did some research and I saw that the first Grammy ceremony was help in 1959. So it was still relatively new in 1964.

0:50 Yes, it's called "The Grammy."
Strange that the Grammy was still such a relatively unknown thing in 1964
@@Texaslawhorn Yes, I thought that was strange too
I thought that was hilarious
Woulda been nice to know wth songs they’re talking about 😡
probably "Deep Purple"
Pretty sure it was “Deep Purple” because it hit #1 just a month or two before this interview
April is 6 yrs older than Nino. She just turned 91 April 29th, Nino is 85.
Thanks for that James. Interesting.
April 29 is my birthday too! Happy Birthday to us, April!

CHEERS!
They were the template for The Carpenters. It's a shame that not many younger people know about them.
RIP, April
Dick Clark: Grammy????? I've heard of that .She's married to my Grampy......
R.I.P. April.
RIP April Stevens.

The Beatles happened in USA just after this interview and killed their career basically
April is so beautiful!
I didn't earn my wrinkles and age spots, they were free gifts from the sun.
Dick Clark was very cute...
Yes. And so natural in front of the cameras. Great interviewer too. Seems like a lovely guy.
