- Neither of the two songs rated today ever charted and there isn’t much out there on Lee Jones (And the Unforgotten Two) - I Got To See My Baby or Bobby Brelyn - Bits and Pieces. Before they go to commercial break the kids dance to “Love In Every Room” which charted at #60 and was the follow up to Paul Mauriat’s #1 hit instrumental from earlier this year, “Love Is Blue”. (I kept it in after the “Rate A Record” segment because I liked the dancing of the few couples that stayed and well….I just thought the song was pretty 🙂)
Dancers: AB regular Frank Herrera, along with Patty Boyer, judge today’s songs while Kris Almanzan tallies the scores. Watch for Kris’s concerned look when she has to figure out the average of 50 and 75 after the first song. Other AB regulars dancing here include Buddy Schwimmer, Famous Hooks, Jenny Nichols, Theodosia Dayton and Frank Vanderpuil.
Incidentally, I asked Don Sanuskar (AB regular 1965-74) about the AM/FM portable phonograph often given as a prize for rating the record. With all due respect to the good people of Ross Electronics, (which no longer exists) as you might have guessed by the arm that pops off every time Dick opens it, it was “a piece of junk”.
…..And today toymaker Mattel introduced “Hot Wheels” toy cars in America. There were 16 original “tricked out” type cars introduced today. They were so wildly successful that Matchbox (and others) had to rethink their entire product line, which up until now had only been more city or "real life" type cars. Here are the Hot Wheels ”original sweet 16” from May of ’68:

It took me more than 50 years to track down "Love in Every Room"--8:16. I was four in 1968, and I clearly remember that haunting music. Beautiful.
I really enjoy listening to the 60's classics. It amazes me that teen would dance to these instrumental songs so elegantly and with class. I was born in 69 and would have wished to dance to these songs in the late 60s.
Paul Mauriat's song is very pretty..I'm glad you kept it in.
Angelique Collins I love it too!
Paul Mauritius song is a cover of this song by French ye ye star Claude Francois th-cam.com/video/igCgMupmSjA/w-d-xo.html

Patty Boyer was one of the lovliest creatures to ever grace the AB dance floor! So little footage of her.
No kiddin'. That Karen Sokol blonde beauty from the '68 season was a knockout, as was Pat Moriarty. Just like high school, all the attention is directed at same tired "popular girl" hags
@@yossarian6799 to me debbie roth when she wore the black sweater in 10-5 -68 proved what a doll she was! Even ABdancers put her pic on their logo as well.
From Down Under, I have an OBE (Over Bloody Eighty!) crush on Peggy Names Waggoner...🤩😘 Beam me up, some-one!!!
Always great to see footage of one of my favorite 1960s American Bandstand dancers Patty Boyer. Enjoyed the Hot Wheels reference. I was a big fan of those cool little cars growing up. I had that plastic orange track going all over the place with the supercharger to keep them moving at top speed. Great fun! Thanks Aaron for posting another excellent Rate-A-Record clip. - Jeff
I’ve enjoyed watching Patty since I first saw your tribute to her a few years ago on your channel (of this very RAR) And Hot Wheels were a staple in my toy collection as a kid too, although I never had the racing set, we just used pieces of wood tilted up on a platform, but it worked, lol! Thanks for the great comment Jeff!
Patty Boyer is absolutely knockout gorgeous.....
Oh I remember those Ross Electronics portable record players. They were indeed kinda flimsy!
Happy 50th Anniversary to my favorite set of toys as a child - HOT WHEELS! A year later, ABC-TV aired the Hot Wheels cartoon series which lasted two years on the network (1969-1971) and was under a lot of scrutiny from the FCC. There were rules in place that prohibited companies from sponsoring children's programming (bad influences!). That's why the series didn't last past two seasons.
And watching the couples dance to Paul Mauriat made my morning! Thank you!
Wow! I LOVED Hot Wheels as a kid, but didn’t know about the TV series. I checked, and there is a clip of it on YT......and it starred good old Casey Kasem as one of the voices! Thanks for the great comment Kevin Goins!
A noteworthy tidbit: songwriter/producer Mike Curb composed the respective themes for "Hot Wheels" and "American Bandstand" that year.
Yes, most of the Rate-a-Record singles went nowhere. But in 1972 "Nice To Be With You" by Gallery scored very low on R-a-R (in the 40s I think) that even Casey Kasem mentioned it on AT40 while the single was making its way into the top 10 (peaking at #4). Also, this episode aired on my 12th birthday, I don't remember watching it.
Thanks much for posting these gems. During the 60s music kept me sane
Omg lol.. the first song was hot. I definitely was feelung the beat. It was soulful and good to dance to and do boogaloo and shingaling to it. I'm not from that era. I was born un 69 and the two kids that rated the first record have no soul! Great up in NJ next to NYC and we listen and dance to a lot of good underground soul dance house music.
YouCanDanceToit! Two additional regulars sighted at 8:27 are Sondra Gomez partnered with Joe Montoya smoothly dancing an excellent two-step. ~~ Don
Sondra Gomez is awesome doing the two-step in this video. She is such an excellent American Bandstand dancer. Thank you for pointing her out Don. - Jeff
dancer don is Joe Montoya in a dark or light jacket?
Joe Montoya is in the light jacket and light trousers. ~~ Don
And there goesFamous Hicks again!! Last I heard he was a teacher for the Los Angeles City Schools (now LA Unified). How these kids got around dancing to Paul Marinat, 🤷♂️ but they did.
Wow, they look so much older than teenagers.
First song certainly sounds very 60's with the organ playing. The second song sounds similar to something Beck would play.
YouCanDanceToit! brutally honest! LOL Aaron, between 35 and 98, I'd rate the "Hot Wheels" a 98! :-) Patty, Frank and Kris were really handed a couple of clinkers in this R-A-R ...
Clinkers, perhaps (I kinda liked the 1st song.....maybe a 60?)....but at least they all went home with their Ross portable phonograph!....LOL!!! Thanks Don!
WOOT!!! Touche` Aaron :-) You're distracting me with R-A-R shiny objects as prizes.
@@YCDTI do you realize it had no speakers, not enough power to run speakers only headphones.
I rate a 98....on the beginnings of Hot Wheels.....
Borderline cringe-worthy songs but surely enjoy any available glimpses into '67 AB.
OS JOVEM ERA MT EDUCADOS
I really like the first song-totally funky. Second song was lame-vocal sounds weird. Surprised how this got rated.
Clark would play the lamest songs to rate.
Mrmemories64 And then he would tell you not to say "you can dance to it" or "you can't dance to it" which made it very hard to say anything at all because that's how we rated all our favorite songs....Thanks for posting namesake "YouCanDanceToit!"
Peggy, who is Frank V. dancing with in this R-A-R tune?
I wish I knew...I have seen them dancing in a few of these videos....
First song too repetitive.55; Second lousy singing,52;Paul Mauriat 85! But I won't buy any for my dollar.
