Black and white always seems to show more detail. Those broadcast cameras were top quality for the day, very expensive, good lenses. Even early camcorders in b/w had good resolution.
Older people sometimes say that the Internet is a mistake, when in fact the era of the internet is the *only* era in human history where you can truly revisit the past.
I'm not super old but ill give you my take on it,i dont think the internet was a mistake but social media and smart phones were, if we still had the old Nokias millions of companies wouldn't have productivity issues and people would be driving instead of causing accidents everyday playing with their phones, besides that i love the internet and RUclips of course.
I am 76 and love my smart phone. I can write an email, I can text immediately, I look for recipes, I get wonderful informations about my subject, I love ( astronomy), animals , music ( like this I just heard) . What I know about my phone is enough I need to know to handle it. I am very, very happy to have one.❤❤❤❤❤
The internet is nothing new nowadays. I'm 66 years old and I've been on the internet for over 30 years. And I love everything that you could find on here that you could never experience first-hand.
Alex Martinez I think they knew or at least the camera man knew before otherwise they wouldn’t be able to turn the camera that fast based on 1950s technology.
The Chordettes will never go out of fashion. Many of your comments prove that many people want the old spirit back. It’s a matter of us being bold enough to speak up about it.
I am 73yrs old - I still have a collection of 78's (who can remember those!!) Unfortunately can't play them as I don't have a record player from the old days but I have their CD and I still pay this music - did a dance routine for the aged at their Xmas party with a group of "girls" and it went down an absolute treat! Lovely to see the looks on the older faces - sheer joy and joined in the singing - made my heart sing!
I got a CD/USB/Record recorder that included 78s from Amazon and spent a wonderful month digitally recording all of my parents´ (and my own) 78, 45 and 33 records. Happy days !
I used to have an old fashoned record player, with 45, 33 78 selector, and a twin tower mechanism to pile records on, and it woul drop them and play in turn - long operas would continue on the same side of the next record, and in the end, you just flipped the whole pile upside down and hear the rest. Remember the sound came out through a valve radio / loudspeaker on top, brand name ERRES
Anna Mwangi saying “laughs in Sparta” literally means laughing in Sparta the actual place. Laughs in Spartan indicates laughing as if you were a Spartan.

They probably aren’t adults:/ this was the time when teenagers wasn’t really a thing. You were a kid or adult, and at 16 you expect to dress and act like an adult. So these adults are probably teenagers:) look at videos of teenagers in the 50s and you’ll probably see that they pretty much look like adults
I did ushering for my highschool's production of James and the Giant Peach about two weeks ago. Our doors would open with Lollipop by the Chordettes, then end with Mr. Sandman. The other gentleman I was working with as an usher for the show learned to associate the opening notes of Lollipop as our que to start smiling and bopping our head along with the music as guests walked through the door. Then the opening notes of Mr. Sandman was our que to get ready, close the doors, and head inside for the show. I have to say, wearing my grandmother's "Sophisticated Ladies" stageolay production tophat from 1962 and listening to this as I ushered for a show I didn't win the audition for is the closest I've felt to stardom, and I think I'd prefer it this way. I loved ushering the show in my beautiful little dress & tophat. Always a good memory, and these songs will continue to remind me of that memory.
These women were probably some of the most wholesome women to ever come out of Hollywood and just the music industry in general. Rest in peace to all 4 of them. I hope their lives were just as magical as their music. ❤
Sandman is not only impressive for the harmonies, which are amazing, but the timing has to be perfect. No one can be off or the whole thing isn't in sync any longer. It's so beautiful.
You realize what you're hearing was recorded and mixed in a studio. The performers are lip synching to their own recording, almost always the case on American Bandstand as well as this BeechNut special. Don't believe me? Where are the other musicians?
@@DyreStraits I never said they weren't. I was saying the timing and such. Everyone lip syncs their performances. That's not new information. But even with your point, it still doesnt take away from this performance. Their lips are still timed just right.
Awww dear the last one at 95 bless her and the rest of these nice ladies they will never be forgotten 🙏 some of these tunes are more than good I like these and Northern soul
The host had a real good solid vibe. Vibing with everyone and complimenting as if he was a fan boy himself and giving praise to the audience. Felt very genuine
Fluttershy Kitty normal people do, although it’s not a sad thing, they lived their lives, and people are still enjoying their presence after they’ve passed away. That’d make any person happy
iiitoxiccherry yeah but they had time for a starting note in a recording studio. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, just saying that people are doing that today too
Um, sorry to bring everyone down but they were totally lip-syncing. It was actually common practice back then for singers and bands to lip-sync when they appeared on American Bandstand. Lip-syncing was actually quite common for bands and singers when they appeared on TV back then.
I miss it, but those nice clothes were a struggle for some people to pay for. We did use hand me downs. and my sis and I traded off on dresses, and I learned to sew. People didn't think anything of someone wearing the same thing frequently, but a head to toe new outfit wasn't something every kid got.
Times were a changing back then .. Now these days times are a crumbling to nothing Mr Sandman and Lollipop, i lived those 2 songs Beautiful to listen to today.. Damn we we were blessed with beauty of music with art and feelings 😊 😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 😂
@@thegdjordan6332 I think a person in 1958 would understand what the internet is with a bit of explanation. "You know those IBM 650 computers big companies and the government have? Imagine every person has one of those at home, but much faster and smaller, and all the computers talk to each other over something like a huge telephone network. People can see videos, listen to songs, and send letters to each other on it. And 26 million people have watched you on Dick Clark." It might sound like science fiction, but it wouldn't sound like witchcraft.
I'm a teen and I love listening to the chordettes, and the andrew sister's! Even if I like listening to folk music from the 60s, music from the 40s is awesome and gives me comfort and nostalgia ❤❤
most of these groups didnt write their own music though. Most of the artists now a days besides pop music actually do. That why I admire a lot of rappers, the good ones are the best writers by far when it comes to lyrics. and no, im not talking about the stereotypical rap yall automatically imagine in your head.
Elegant classy ladies singing while throwing candy at the audience. They had me from the very first moment they said lollipop. Such a beautiful group of ladies with amazing voices.
@@Angie.Globetrotter They are simply feeling you could have been more tactful in your remarks and not outright call them ugly. I am an advocate for free speech, but that goes both ways; when people feel you have insulted them in their eyes, they therefore have every right to riposte. When you dish out criticism, you must always be able to handle the retaliation that could result from it.

Near a window with snow falling outside and me working on the painting in my lap! I don't know you but I too have had this dream living many million miles away!
@@jong0000 Exactly my thoughts. And that is no speculation, that is a fact. 1. host must speak in microphone to be heard 2. they do not have microphones when they sing 3. if someone still believes that in 1958 they had small microphone hidden somewhere in dress or on stage - in the end host takes interview and gives them microphone for them to be heard.
@@alexwestman8289 1. calling someone names for stating a fact is rude and immature. 2. they used lip-sync -> they voices where prerecorded on a magnetic tape (does existed since 1945, this recording is from 1958) -> one does not needs software to do audio editing, just 2 professional magnetic tape players. those can be connected and you can do all the operations, cutting (actual physical tape that where the word comes from), fade in and fade out (volume knob) equalization (special equipment with frequency filters) -> I'm not saying the audio was definitely editedб but saying otherwise makes as much sense as saying this about any modern performer.
My grandmother heard me playing this, she all of a sudden started crying and said. “I used to sing this with my sisters when i was 6” that crushed me.. Edit : thanks so much for the likes! Sadly she died 1 week ago, but i know shes smiling down knowing im sharing the small story😂 she probably would of smacked me 😂😂❤️ Edit #2 : WELL PAINT ME GREEN AND CALL ME A PICKLE THANKS FOR THE LIKES YALL!!
Miss you Dick Clark and the American Bandstand. Great memories with lots of wonderful music. The show in the video was before my time but I love the songs in this video.
I was eight in Feb 1958 and I remember watching this on TV. I made my mother buy me the record Lollipop. The sales person asked: 45 rpm or 78 rpm?!!! - David Lyga
Yeah... the performers got all dressed up for you, so it's only respectful to get dressed up for them.... I remember those days when we were ALWAYS getting dressed up... for school, for church, for visiting relatives.... FOR FLYING IN A JET!!! Damn.. there was so much "getting dressed up"!
The Doors were performing in 1969 when between songs Jim Morrison walked to the back of the stage and pee'd against the wall. Half of the young audience immediately left. Today nobody would leave and half would giggle at it.
@@pamle1 I call BS on that story. What is the origin of it. In 1969, I remember trying to GET Doors tickets, but with NO success. The Doors were massively popular, and stopped performing because of Jim's arrest. Large venues were not allowing the Doors to book concerts. My point being, if you were fortunate to ACTUALLY get tickets to the Doors, you had to hustle, because they sold out instantly. Another thing, our culture was way more tolerant of drunken idiots pissing wherever outdoors. It wasn't seen as "obscenity" like now (as long as your back was to the public). It wasn't until long after Jim's death that "pooper scooper" laws were enacted anywhere. The signs read "please curb your dog". So there was dog shit EVERYWHERE. And it was tolerated.... so a dude pissing in the bushes wasn't a shock. So far, I've not yet seen any footage of Jim pissing on the wall in the back of the stage (lots of footage of Doors performances). All I find are obtuse references to that "fact". Sounds like a rumor echo chamber effect. About getting dressed up for a rock concert in 1969? Ha ha... the 50's were loooong gone by then. This response may seem way over the top, but I'm still a huge Doors fan, and the record of Jim Morrison's life story has become convenient mythology for anyone to use for the purpose of making a point. I'm actually challenging the "half the kids walked out" part of it, more than the "pissing on the back of stage wall" part. If kids did walk out, it was because Morrison wasn't sober enough to perform... Go see the movie "Woodstock" that came out in 1969, that'll give you a clue about the youth social moires of that time. ;-)
My grandmother was at a Bandstand taping in 1960. She said he was terribly rude when he asked a girl to come down to the dance floor for the show and she refused out of shyness. She came up to him after filming and asked him to forgive her and he said “Just get out of here.”
I start thinking about back to the future scene(s) ironically I actually work around 2 of those clocks and those bells really are as loud as it sounds standing a foot away
Why do people always make comments about "innocence" ? Its just being normal (decent). What are we now ? Jaded, slutty, obsessed with sex, doing drugs ? Degraded ? Oh, boy now we're really grown up !
@@axiomist1076 I think most of the people here did not live at these times to have any expressive opinion... they say that on these days people were more simple, more inocente, the music was better, the relationships were more solids... all pure delusion... if we watch closely, times and eras are always reciclying themselves... everything comes back and goes in a infinite cycle. Let's do not fall onto these nostalgic delusions. Each moment is unique and has beautiful, simple and inocent things.
@@AaronIsCool450 Well the fact that there is no microphone that they are singing into in the days before wireless mic's is a clue (notice Dick Clark had a wired mic in his hands when they were interviewed), but if you look up American Bandstand and lip synching, you will see that all groups did that on the show. It was different than the Ed Sullivan show where the groups actually performed.
Ze, the song was aimed at girls more than boys. That's ok, because the vast number of songs have been written by men about women. Ex, "Sherry" and "Marlena" by The Four Seasons.
I was in the crib when my Mom was listening to this song...It's kinda dissapointing there were musical backi g. It is perfect without the orchestra behind it. I guess the studio had to make more money.
I am a barrio lass. I can't remember when I first heard this song until year 2022 and that now I'm already 78 yo, what I can say is that the Chordettes are great artists.
When I was four years old, living in Alaska, in 1954, our family got our first TV set. There were only 3 hours of broadcasting per day. Once a week, a pop song hit parade show was on at night. I got to watch it with my father before I went to bed. I remember that "Mr. Sandman" was a big hit for many weeks. I would listen to it and then go to bed with this vision of a Santa Claus type of character who came with bags of sand to sprinkle on people. My father explained that Mr. Sandman would sprinkle sand over your eyes to make you go to sleep. I decided that Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy were better ideas. But I loved this song.

I did ushering for my highschool's production of James and the Giant Peach about two weeks ago. Our doors would open with Lollipop by the Chordettes, then end with Mr. Sandman. The other gentleman I was working with as an usher for the show learned to associate the opening notes of Lollipop as our que to start smiling and bopping our head along with the music as guests walked through the door. Then the opening notes of Mr. Sandman was our que to get ready, close the doors, and head inside for the show.
I have to say, wearing my grandmother's "Sophisticated Ladies" stageolay production tophat from 1962 and listening to this as I ushered for a show I didn't win the audition for is the closest I've felt to stardom, and I think I'd prefer it this way. I loved ushering the show in my beautiful little dress & tophat. Always a good memory, and these songs will continue to remind me of that memory.

1. host must speak in microphone to be heard

3. if someone still believes that in 1958 they had small microphone hidden somewhere in dress or on stage - in the end host takes interview and gives them microphone for them to be heard.
@@alexwestman8289 1. calling someone names for stating a fact is rude and immature.
2. they used lip-sync -> they voices where prerecorded on a magnetic tape (does existed since 1945, this recording is from 1958) -> one does not needs software to do audio editing, just 2 professional magnetic tape players. those can be connected and you can do all the operations, cutting (actual physical tape that where the word comes from), fade in and fade out (volume knob) equalization (special equipment with frequency filters) -> I'm not saying the audio was definitely editedб but saying otherwise makes as much sense as saying this about any modern performer.

Yeah... the performers got all dressed up for you, so it's only respectful to get dressed up for them.... I remember those days when we were ALWAYS getting dressed up... for school, for church, for visiting relatives.... FOR FLYING IN A JET!!! Damn.. there was so much "getting dressed up"!
The Doors were performing in 1969 when between songs Jim Morrison walked to the back of the stage and pee'd against the wall. Half of the young audience immediately left. Today nobody would leave and half would giggle at it.
@@pamle1
I would say young people might start copying it today.
@@pamle1 I call BS on that story. What is the origin of it. In 1969, I remember trying to GET Doors tickets, but with NO success. The Doors were massively popular, and stopped performing because of Jim's arrest. Large venues were not allowing the Doors to book concerts. My point being, if you were fortunate to ACTUALLY get tickets to the Doors, you had to hustle, because they sold out instantly.
Another thing, our culture was way more tolerant of drunken idiots pissing wherever outdoors. It wasn't seen as "obscenity" like now (as long as your back was to the public). It wasn't until long after Jim's death that "pooper scooper" laws were enacted anywhere. The signs read "please curb your dog". So there was dog shit EVERYWHERE. And it was tolerated.... so a dude pissing in the bushes wasn't a shock.
So far, I've not yet seen any footage of Jim pissing on the wall in the back of the stage (lots of footage of Doors performances). All I find are obtuse references to that "fact". Sounds like a rumor echo chamber effect.
About getting dressed up for a rock concert in 1969? Ha ha... the 50's were loooong gone by then.
This response may seem way over the top, but I'm still a huge Doors fan, and the record of Jim Morrison's life story has become convenient mythology for anyone to use for the purpose of making a point.
I'm actually challenging the "half the kids walked out" part of it, more than the "pissing on the back of stage wall" part. If kids did walk out, it was because Morrison wasn't sober enough to perform...
Go see the movie "Woodstock" that came out in 1969, that'll give you a clue about the youth social moires of that time. ;-)
I wanna know what color their dresses were.
I feel like they're red
They might be pink honestly

Miriam Mile or purple
Blue and black? Maybe white and gold

When I was four years old, living in Alaska, in 1954, our family got our first TV set. There were only 3 hours of broadcasting per day. Once a week, a pop song hit parade show was on at night. I got to watch it with my father before I went to bed. I remember that "Mr. Sandman" was a big hit for many weeks. I would listen to it and then go to bed with this vision of a Santa Claus type of character who came with bags of sand to sprinkle on people. My father explained that Mr. Sandman would sprinkle sand over your eyes to make you go to sleep. I decided that Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy were better ideas. But I loved this song.
