Airdate: January 13, 1968
Happy New Year…..1968!
It’s the second episode of '68 with musical guest The Box Tops. The Lemon Pipers’ very short, “fast-rising”, one hit is at #9 today on the Billboard Hot 100 and will peak at #1 in 3 weeks.
If they were to play any of the other 9 songs on today’s TOP 10, which one would you vote for? (Tough choice, but I’d like to see them dance to “Bend Me, Shape Me”)
Listening and dancing while they play..play…play…. their green tambourine are: Frank Herrera , Robin Morris (back row bleachers, 0:41) Jeff Stein, Patty Barden (middle row bleachers 0:41), Robin Miller, Pat Dickinson, Mike Langham (front row bleachers 0:41), Famous Hooks & June Strode (0:50), Frank Vanderpuil & Judy Michaud (far left, 1:04), Maureen Cohen (with a rose painted on her forehead at 2:16 ), Rick Bach (2:20), Don Sanuskar (in his new plaid jack dancing next to Maureen at 2:29) and Eddie Sanchez & Ruby Dake dancing on the riser at 1:10.
In the News: Tomorrow, Jan. 14, the Green Bay Packers will play the Oakland Raiders in the 2nd NFL-AFL Championship game - later known at Super Bowl II. The Raiders made it to the championship game with the help of an impressive young linebackers coach named John Madden.
In 2 days, on Jan. 15, Martin Luther King Jr. will celebrate his 39th birthday.
Baby, I Love You! - I hate that we lost a couple more 60’s music legends this week - Ronettes lead singer Ronnie Spector and The Platters former lead singer Sonny Turner. (RIP) Sonny was interviewed on a Bandstand Hollywood Hotline segment where the kids danced to “With This Ring”.
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day everyone and thank you for spending a few minutes in 1968 with me. You all pass the telescope test!
