Everyone was chewing gum because Beechnut sponsored this show and everyone was given gum to chew as a promo. Plus Beechnut gum had a slogan: "It's flavor-ific", thus why everyone had a pinned button with the "IFIC" on it.
Oh, some one asked about what that meant, now we know !! Never heard this Diamonds song, they didn't have to voicelib, they were to busy with the woman
This song was a sleeper for the Diamonds. Their big hit " Little Darlin" was written and recorded by the 4 college men as a joke about the silly songs of the 50"s .... but it was a hit Dave Somerville was lead singer of the Diamonds. He also sang with the 4 preps. He sang until age 81 when he died of cancer. Great loss of a very talented handsome man.
"Little Darlin'" was a cover of a song originally performed by a black group, The Gladiolas. It was led (and written) by Maurice Williams, who, years later, was to score a very major hit of his own: "Stay" by Maurice Williams and The Zodiacs. Here's the original (1956) "Little Darlin' by The Gladiolas: th-cam.com/video/Z9G7IOgtH10/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely Cool! Definitely a video our Lady GAGA or Katy Perry forgot to re-create. And did you see Dick Clark's SUPERMAN #GeorgeReeves Hair Style? Or was it vice versa, Baby?
(COMMENT BY Judy-Louise Curtis) Wonderful. Very unique. Would anyone know the dancers name? She looks very familiar. And that's a cute little Boy-Character in the front.
@@letoubib21 Wow! Now that you mention it, that could explain why we see such modern dance moves still used today. Toni has outlived amazing Dancer *Shabba-Doo* and is still with us today. Girl get over here & comment & verify!!
She looks quite like _Toni Basil._ But I'm not sure 'cause the quality of the pic is too low... Edit: Just watched the vid again only looking at her movements and not at her face! Now I'm rather sure she does be _Toni Basil._ She has her very unique style and a pretty special type of choreography.
Hey LoveYouAll, No, it was not. Bandstand was on perhaps three years before Clark's half hour Saturday night show started. Bandstand continued after the Saturday night show was taken off the air. Best wishes, Dave Wile
HeyLoveYouAll, Bandstand began in 1952 in the West Philly studio of WFIL, and it was broadcast for the greater Philadelphia viewing audience. It started at 3:00 each weekday afternoon and lasted two and a half hours each day. I was not able to see the show until our local station picked it up sometime around late 1955 or early 1956. I do not remember the host of the show at the time, but he was replaced in 1956 by Dick Clark, and shortly thereafter the show went from two and a half hours to ninety minutes each day. For a few years starting around 1957, a local station in my area did a one hour "Record Room" show that started each day just after Bandstand finished, and it was simply a local version of the Bandstand format with kids from nearby high schools dancing each afternoon. The Saturday night Dick Clark Beechnut Show started early in 1958 and ran almost continuously for two and a half years when it ended in 1960. In that short time frame, they did over 130 shows which were mostly aired from New York City. I seem to remember one or two of the shows being done from the Steel Pier in Atlantic City. By the early 1960s, Bandstand had lost much of its audience, and its time slot dropped from ninety minutes to thirty minutes. It moved to Los Angeles in the mid 1960s and evolved into whatever that stuff was from that time on. Obviously I did not personally identify with the direction music went shortly after the early 1960s, and I pretty much remained in the past. Best wishes, Dave Wile

grandi grandissimi
Как потрясающе. Я раньше не видела их, не слышала. У них не только песенка, но и постановка, сюжет, маленький спектакль. Очень понравилось.
2020!!!!!!!
Barely remember this song. I didn't even know the title. They could sing.
Him: “ You ate it all to yourself”
Her shyly: “ Ahaha..No I didn't ”
Dick really lived up to his name there
Everyone is chewing gum!
Big sponsor back then. That was like having Coca cola back then.
Квартет изящный, ироничный, искренний. Колоссально. Красочно. Кайф. Интересно.

WAS THIS THE FIRST SHOW HE DID BEFORE AMERICAN BANDSTAND?
Hey LoveYouAll, No, it was not. Bandstand was on perhaps three years before Clark's half hour Saturday night show started. Bandstand continued after the Saturday night show was taken off the air. Best wishes, Dave Wile

Bob Horn was the original "Bandstand" host before Dick Clark.

That's really a lot of scenery, costumes, and choreography for a two-minute lip- synch to a silly song. They must have sold a lot of gum.
Loved the song, but this little skit was completely cornball.
Racist
That falsetto voice in the Diamonds song is absolutely cringing; easily as bad as listening to Minnie Ripperton.
Lolol
