I was 15 what a great time meet my sweetheart we married in 1970 and was married for 47 years until she passed away January 18 2017 miss her every day my sweet angel
Somebody please put me in a time machine and take me to the 1960s when I was in GRADE SCHOOL when life was a BLAST and FUN!!! PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!!😀😀😀😎😎
I'll bet the professor from Gilligan's Island could invent a time machine. I mean, that guy could make a radio or an alarm clock out of a coconut. But for some reason, he was unable to invent a raft... Go figure. 🤔😊
The voice of the great Mike Smith, one of the most underrated singers from the British Invasion, yea I could listen to this song "Over and Over", the DC5 ruled.............
Cut originally by the late Marv Johnson, written and produced by Berry Gordy (shortly before he launched the Motown empire). The Brits sure loved the sounds of the Motor City! DC5 lead singer/keyboardist Mike Smith (RIP) gave their version some rockin' soul indeed!
Marv was Berry's first act to be signed on to "Tamla" which evolved into Motown. In a finger-snapping / soulful Jackie Wilson style, Marv debuted onto the charts in '59 with "Come To Me" . One of my personal faves was 1960's "You've Got To Move Two Mountains."
A great cover by the DC5! The American Top-40 reached its peak in the first months of 1967 through thhe Summer of Love. What an amazing crop of Rock & Roll.
And here we have the generation that knew how to behave themselves. They were respectful to adults and other authority figures. They had morals to promote honor, pride and dignity as citizens of the USA. LOVE FOR GOD then FAMILY then COUNTRY ! AND IT HAS GONE DOWN-HILL EVER SINSE INTO THE INSANE CHAOS OF THE PRESENT ! !
This was great, Aaron! Loved the song and remember what a great year 1967 was for music. I was 17 and enjoyed it all. Perhaps my favorite age and my favorite year for music! Love all you do for us. Thank you, John.
I was born in the right time.... Child in the 1960s...teen in the 1970s... perfect!!!!....The Beatles.... Elvis....DC5.... Everything in Music 🎵🎶 was there!!!.... good to hear Good Rock and Roll again!!!!
Thank you for posting this. Great to see. I remember a DJ in NYC doing the intro to this song saying "Here they come, marching down your street, The Dave Clark Five." Rumor has it that this song was a trial balloon for a possible Mike Smith solo career managed by Dave Clark, of course. The single is notable because unlike earlier singles, this one features only Mike on vocals, no double tracking by him and no backing singers. Not sure if any other band members were playing on this track.Also, I remember reading in one of the music business magazines around this time that Mike and Dave were touring US radio stations by themselves (to later join the rest of the group in NYC for The Ed Sullivan Show.)
This programs TV show happened 3 months and 13 days before I got out of the US Navy. After I got home I would watch it while I took it easy for a few months afterI got out of the Navy.
That was no accident. There was a dress code that was dictated by the "American Bandstand" producers and it was pretty much enforced until the early 70s.
Watching the clip over and over again you pick up on what a hit number this tune is. Everyone seems to really dig the music including Dick. Check out his "airplane" at :51, head bobbing and finger dancing at 1:59 and at 2:27 he looks like he is about to make his "head go round and round"! LOL What fun! Thanks Aaron
I saw him bobbing his head at the podium but missed the airplane. I LOVE that! Good catch Peggy! Wouldn’t it have been fun if, just once, he came down on a particularly kickin’ tune and danced a bit with you guys.
Great descriptor Aaron. Great fun playing "Where's Waldo". LOL. Easy bonus points. How about Timmy (from the '67 dance contest), Sue Rose, Eddie Sanchez, Deedra Higgins, Rick Kline, Pat Moriarty (with whom I'm dancing), Maureen Cohen, Jodie Breslin (sp?), and Sharon Bell. Come on all you 60's Bandstanders -- help name those dancers still yet to be mentioned. Happy Thanksgiving week to Aaron and all of Aaron's viewers!
Hmmm I can’t find Rick Kline and I consider myself pretty good at this....even though I blew it with Pat Moriarty (play that sound effect for the low rated record and bang my head on the table) lol.
@@YCDTI No worries Aaron. You've cataloged so many dancers' names that you outshine my recollection at times. Anyway, Deedra and Rick can be seen for a nanosecond at 1:22 in front at the bottom of the screen dancing together. Blink and you'll miss them. ;--)
@@dancerdon9175 wow, I never would’ve got Rick and Deedra. Good eye. I see Stan and Judy and Sue Rose with Jim Miranda (I think). Yes, a lot of different pairings here, like you and Pat M. I don’t think I’ve see you two dance together in the episodes I have. I like the shake-up. Also, Michael Michaud at 1:04 far left....+1 for me, lol. Any idea who the couple is on the riser? I loved seeing the big camera and the cameraman in the shot at 1:16. It’s interesting seeing a glimpse behind the scenes. Did you guys get to know the crew well?
@cool azul I retired a year and a half ago , I’m more antsy now than ever ,married 34 years , 3 kids , 4 grandkids , I hope everything is good for you , and it was nice to talk to somebody from that time also, Keep the pace !!
@@kevingoins9858 Thank you for correcting me because I must have Dinah Washington on the brain when I was writing this! My bad. I actually heard Marv Johnson's original version and it was OK.
The tail end of the British Invasion as a distinct phenomenon. We were conquered. Going forward British acts would still be massively popular but as major parts of various rock genres.
This was a great clip! All of the dancers were engaged & into it. I also liked how the kids were already out on the floor when the song started, so they can get right into it from the jump. Hey Aaron, every time I see a clip from this particular episode, (which must be a lit one), I always wait to see if Barbara is gonna "say it" again! Lol I saw my man Frank in the background, Famous in the thick of things, and our very own Don making it happen pre stache. Lol I like some of DC5's music, but my fave by them is "Because". Great one Aaron, I wonder if this episode is a contender for a full upload in the future? 😁
Hi Kevin, it’s funny that you remember that about Barbara and her.....gaffe. I think the same thing too every time I see her, lol, My favorite DC5 song is “Cant You See That She’s Mine”. I can’t hear that song without getting up and moving, but “Because” is awesome too. Definitely my favorite slower DC5 song. Yes, I agree, this is on my list of full episodes to post. It is, as you say, “lit” and it’s pretty good picture quality which is always nice. Happy Thanksgiving to you too my friend!
Yeah I forgot the Boss Jocks...I usually didn’t receive that station after 5pm (?) when they reduced the signal strength.. probably because of my location.. but I did get The Wolf-man but who didn’t...lol
@@davesparks9503 Who can forget the Wolfman and the "mighty 10-90" XERB (later changed to XPRS, the Soul Express). Sounds like you must have been in North County since you mentioned an Escondido station.
Aaron, thanks for today's clip and the built in guessing game of where the gang is at. Makes me pay attention to the video even more. I found one of the gang that wasn't listed. At the very beginning of the song, in the background, we briefly have a view of Maureen Cohen and her partner (no, not that Maureen Cohen, THAT Maureen Cohen). Thanks again and if we don't have a clip this Wednesday I want to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving and travel safe if you re on the road for the holiday.
LOL! that made me laugh out loud, I wasn’t sure which Maureen Cohen you were referring to, ha ha ha! and yes, I see her now. Good eye! There will be a clip on Wednesday, but Happy Thanksgiving to you anyways. Thanks @Bill Ritter.
??? I'm confused, were their 2 Maureen Cohens?? I have Cohen's on both sides of my family tree, likely both are very distant relations in my bloodline. Just curious.
@@AmericanBandstandAgain @Andrew -- yes there were two Maureen Cohens -- one, a brownette; the other a brunette. The brunette Maureen is first seen at 0:33. The brownette Maureen, and best friend of Peggy, is first seen at 1:05 dancing with a guy in a dark pullover near the "ab '67" logo.
Hi Aaron! Thanks for posting this catchy tune! I think the camera moves were trying to focus on the "beautiful face". Famous, 1:22 and 2:13, Frank 1:52. Did I win?
Great job @Peggy Names! You win a Ross Electronics Portable Radio and Phonograph. Please send me your mailing address on the back of a postcard or an envelope. 😉 And yes, those cameramen really zeroed in on a few “specific people” today. I saw you commented that they were told to do that by the producers? It makes sense, but I don’t think that would fly today.
@@YCDTI Correction: not producers, the technical director. I am not so sure that it doesn't still happen but things are getting better and people are more aware and speaking up or resisting orders if it feels wrong.

The voice of the great Mike Smith, one of the most underrated singers from the British Invasion, yea I could listen to this song "Over and Over", the DC5 ruled.............
YOU . DONT . LIVE . IN . A . BEAUTIFUL PLACE 🤩
You bet! Ever since 1964, I'd NEVER change the radio station if the DC5 were on!
One of the greatest R & B songs ever recorded. Mike Smith! Perfect song to dance to.
Cut originally by the late Marv Johnson, written and produced by Berry Gordy (shortly before he launched the Motown empire). The Brits sure loved the sounds of the Motor City! DC5 lead singer/keyboardist Mike Smith (RIP) gave their version some rockin' soul indeed!
Yes my favorite DC5 song because it was a Rocking Motown record
Marv was Berry's first act to be signed on to "Tamla" which evolved into Motown. In a finger-snapping / soulful Jackie Wilson style, Marv debuted onto the charts in '59 with "Come To Me" . One of my personal faves was 1960's "You've Got To Move Two Mountains."
I like that all the dirty hippies hadn't taken over quite yet.
Dick Clark productions was as big as it gets.
A great cover by the DC5! The American Top-40 reached its peak in the first months of 1967 through thhe Summer of Love. What an amazing crop of Rock & Roll.
What a fun tune. You can tell the dancers think so too.
And here we have the generation that knew how to behave themselves. They were respectful to adults and other authority figures. They had morals to promote honor, pride and dignity as citizens of the USA. LOVE FOR GOD then FAMILY then COUNTRY !
AND IT HAS GONE DOWN-HILL EVER SINSE INTO THE INSANE CHAOS OF THE PRESENT ! !
what a powerful song...love the horns in the background...god bless mike smith for the powerful vocals
Excellent Dave Clark Five song, excellent American Bandstand top ten gem!
LIFE IN 1960s. I WAS BORN IN 1958 BUT HAVE A SISTER 4 YEARS OLDER SHE TURN
ME ON TO ROCK& ROLL . THANK GOD.
what a great song to dance to,,, Oh! Special memories!! Thank you! ☘️
This was great, Aaron! Loved the song and remember what a great year 1967 was for music. I was 17 and enjoyed it all. Perhaps my favorite age and my favorite year for music! Love all you do for us. Thank you, John.

Mike Smith # 1 🎹

Thank you for your service, when being in the military was not cool, like today. I know too. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant.
Wonder how many of the dancers remember being on one of the most important shows ever
All of them!
We’ve lost a lot in the years since this. Young men wore suits or cardigans. Young women wore skirts and neat well coiffed hairdos.
That was no accident. There was a dress code that was dictated by the "American Bandstand" producers and it was pretty much enforced until the early 70s.
James Maddox, I forgot about that.
This came out in late 3/1967 and I just turned 10 years old and near the end of 4th grade. Heard this on Philly's WFIL Famous 56 .

Great song! great voice! (but those lyrics! LOL!)
If seeing John Pollard in these AB clips doesn't make you smile, you need help. Lol
I have never heard of that song before, so it was another plus. 😊
I think John Pollard weighs in here from time to time
John was the “nerd” of AB but he could dance!

Dick Clark groovin to the tune just as much as the kids.
@TXTroll
Somewhere along the line I remember him being dubbed “America’s Oldest Teenager”
Dinah Washington and Brook Benton did the original version of "You Got What It Takes" in the late 1950s. However, DC5's cover was much better!
Completely different song Dinah and Brook recorded. The late Marv Johnson cut the original which the DC5 remade.
