American Bandstand 1960s Dance Partners Pat Carpino and Ailene Silverman

As a teenager in the late 1970’s I always enjoyed watching American Bandstand on Saturday afternoons. This is a montage I created of one of my favorite dance partners on the show from 1964 Pat Carpino and Ailene Silverman.

The trifecta of great looking guys, Pat Carpino, Bobby P., and of course Bruce Richard - great hair, so hot looking by any standards.

Those two are my favorite, such chemistry between them.

[@mariolopezlinares5005]

A nice couple, in conclusion my favorite, they had a special chemistry. She was a lovely and very beautiful young girl, whose face reminds me a little, one of the great movie stars of the forties, Laureen Bacall.

I was so in Love with Pat😄

Very interesting to see the (albeit small) number of boys with Beatle haircuts at a time when the fab four were having a hard time getting airplay of any kind in the U.S.

Ailyene more frequently danced with Bobby Baritz than with Pat who, more often, danced with Michelle. Bobby and Pat are both deceased. Pretty sure that Michelle is still alive but have not heard anything about Ailyene. Hope she has had opportunity to view some of the great videos of the Philly years on TH-cam

This was from January 1964(another TH-camr posted a segment from this very same broadcast), when Beatlemania started to really take off at that time. 😁

Does anyone know if Pat Carpino still alive?

[@bonniegarcia8399]

He has passed.

[@mikecoughlin9437]

Here name is Ailene Silverman - not, Ailyene.

[@ABdancers]

@mikecoughlin9437 Thanks for the spelling correction of Ailene's name. I've updated my montage.

[@Dr.Pepper001]

Unfortunately Pat Carpino disappeared and we can only conclude that he is deceased.

[@joeapple100]
