Things I love about this video: 0:14 - the blonde having a bit of a struggle pulling the rickshaw carrying Nino. 0:56 - the dancer in the front on the left side of the screen seems to be phoning it in. 1:22 - Nino really gets into his dancing and April playfully chides him. 1:39 - April pretending that it requires all of her strength to "steer" the "ship". 1:46 - Nino coming out from behind the wheel to take center stage. 2:47 - April stops dancing and is leaning against the platform and brushes back her hair as if it's the end of a long shooting day and she's had enough.
WILL SAY. she's a knockout. what blew me away. came across a picture of her. must be during somewhere in the 1950s. WHOA. she's beautiful in the picture. but. she's wearing a see Thur nightgown. WHOA.
It had the same values of burlesque and vaudville at the time. And scopitones were in bars and nightclubs so they could get away with the bikini shakin' action.
This video is precious! Nino Tempo is such an impressive guy! He had a #1 Pop record with his sister in the early ‘60’s AND just happens to be one one the great “session cats” of that era on tenor saxophone! What a talent! ... unheard of today!
One of my favorites. I bought the DVDs from your site years ago and often blast the music on the house stereo. Lots of bass on the muddy old soundtrack.
I really enjoy finding these old Scopitone films. I've heard the machines were more popular in Europe than in the U.S. Only ever saw one here....& that was sometime in the late 1960s. I must've been around 15 at the time, and it was inside of a local pizza parlor. I remember being amazed at this jukebox-looking thing that played musical shorts. Futuristic stuff right there.....LOL.
@@doglips1958 Wikipedia, and other sites list her birthdate as 1929. Now I wasn't at the hospital so can't verify that, but I wouldn't just make a negative remark about a person I don't agree with. By the way, I enjoy my crack pipe.
Someone corrected me on this earlier this year. I wished her a happy 83rd on April 29th this year. Someone who said that he bought their (or her) biography on Amazon said that April said she was in fact born in 1929. She played down her age in order to be more competitive. At the time Deep Purple came out in 1963 the British Invasion was going full steam. She blamed that for some of the reason they weren't more successful! She has individual songs on You Tube going back to the early 50s!
It's "what the grownups thought the kids wanted" back then. Don't worry, we thought it was cheesy, too - and yes, April Stevens was a goddess - and a talented one, too.
Agreed. Then at 2:11 dancing on the platform in her bikini she burns even hotter. Maybe one of her grandchildren wiil give up her name one of these decades. She certainly deserves recognition...
@@scotpens no I think most people coming here would know the whole 'PC OUTRAGE' is just manufactured by right wing propagandists in order to make old people feel terrified into thinking their 'way of life' is under threat, and scare them into voting for parties who, coincidentally turn a blind eye to taxing billionaires. Only stupid people fall for this trick. The rest of us know that 'being nice' is timeless
@@will2741 Leftists are the PC architects. We conservatives are against all PC stuff. I don't care about that. I just want to have a good time and I will. I still play all my original Doors vinyl records. Albums and 45's. Jim was the man! I remember when Light My Fire first came out on the radio.
Nononono, there are plenty of tepid, unoriginal rehashes of the Cannibal and the Headhunters version, this mixes it up a bit. I prefer it to say, The Action by a long, long way
I like Nino Tempo and April Stevens very much, but IMO this much-recorded song doesn’t suit them. Check the versions by Chris Kenner (who wrote it), Wilson Pickett, Cannibal & the Headhunters, Thee Midniters. But the dancers are something else!
Funny. I grew up with all of those versions and this one is my favorite. The sound on this video does not do it justice. I have the mono LP of "Hey Baby" and this song sounds very impressive. Great production.
@@shyman99 Yeah this is really good. I love the way they make the 'na nananana''s a minor third rather than just root note. Really different. I dunno any other version that does this
@@will2741 - Exactly. You explained it better than I did. It creates an unsettling and hypnotic element that significantly impacts the effect. Very creative.
Check out Dion's version of Born To Be With You and listen to the sax player. It is Nino Tempo the male half of the above duo. One of the great sax solos in rock and roll ever.

This is the best thing on youtube, I've checked.
WHOLEheartedly agree. it's amazing. The track, the video, the dancers, the sets, I love it
I laughed for 45 minutes after reading this comment.
Truly
Easily impressed, we see.
Great, I love everything about this video. And can those girls dance! Wow!
Could April Stevens be any more beautiful? I've been in love with her since the 1960s.
Or Nino any more handsome. Both are stunning to look at.
Ernest whelcheljh how old is April Stevens

@@johnmattera5127 April Stevens is NINETY years old as of 2019!!!!!
@@johnmattera5127 She is 91 now!!!! She sure could fool us on her age. She was in her mid to late 30’s here but i thought she was 20 at the most.
Wow, after all this time I've found a NEW Tempo and Stevens song! Best day in awhile!
April Stevens is the coolest sexiest woman I've never heard of. Wow!
Pure, unadulterated awesomeness!!
I love Scopitones. They all had a borderline tawdry quality that made them hard to resist.
It had the same values of burlesque and vaudville at the time. And scopitones were in bars and nightclubs so they could get away with the bikini shakin' action.
That's using "borderline" very loosely!
April is absolutely beautiful.
I simply can. Not believe April Stevens is over 90 now. She never looked old! I really had no idea of her age.
This is the feel good remedy groove I've needed to watch during this crazy pandemic, haha love it!
I only became aware of april stevens a couple of days ago thru Pandora wow what a great singer both her and brother

OMG April Stevens is so beautiful ❤🐶❤👍🙏
Beautifully bizarre ....brilliant stuff Thanks
Another world... fantastic!!
One of my favorites. I bought the DVDs from your site years ago and often blast the music on the house stereo. Lots of bass on the muddy old soundtrack.
Love that grungy bass sound
Luv that driving bass sounds terrific 🔊🎶🎵
April is absolutely gorgeous.
RIP April Stevens. She passed away April 17, 2023. She was both born and passed on in the month of April.
Stunningly handsome brother and sister with some amazing vocal talents. I've always wondered the octave range of Nino.
"Come on, April!"
RIP April Steven's
thank you
One of my all time favorite Brother and Sister acts Nino Tempo and April Stevens along with Richard and Karen Carpenter.
Agreed Nino & April are beyond cool

So cool!
The brunette in pigtails is super cute. Reminds me of Sally Field back in her Gidget days.
Amazing woman
The sailor girls' costumes were very, very hot and dangerous for the early 1960s... like something on MTV in the 1990s. :)
The girl with pigtails is cute; reminds me of Sally Field.

Man I thought of Gilligan's island straight up. I thought I saw Maryann. Lol
Hot damn!
Earth. Mid 20th century.
That deejay was right when he said she had two of the biggest hits in the country.
Nino in black leather gets my motor runnin'
Отлично !

I'm in love with the brunette now.
Great! Now I won’t be able to sleep tonight...wow scary!
なつかしい！。
昭和生まれの日本人なら誰でも聞いたことある熱湯コマーシャルの曲よね。
what are the names of the 3 dancers at the end
So 60s dig it !
April 😍
They forgot to include Goldie Hawn in her bikini with painted flowers and slogans. Sock It To Me.
April was a real knock-out!
Burlesque for the 60s
That blonde must have been one of their stock players. She's in a Bobby Vee and Jodi Miller video, probably more.
подскажите как зовут танцовщицу в розовом халате?
My mother wouldn’t let me have Go Go Boots.
2020
Stomp, shout, work it on out...
Nino and April...ain't no doubt.
Why do they need these dancing girls? April Stevens is just as hot.
It's "what the grownups thought the kids wanted" back then. Don't worry, we thought it was cheesy, too - and yes, April Stevens was a goddess - and a talented one, too.
April is a super fox....
the go go dancers are gorgeous but the one @ 1:00 dot is breathtaking
Agreed. Then at 2:11 dancing on the platform in her bikini she burns even hotter. Maybe one of her grandchildren wiil give up her name one of these decades. She certainly deserves recognition...
Who is the blonde dancer?
Sordid!
Bizzare
Bizarre but "Cool", the people of today's time look Bizarre and Freaky ❗️
Do the dance, like Major Lance ...
April Steven's kind of looks like Hotsy Totsy Burlesque's Cyndi Freeman.
you ask; Whats wrong with me? THIS is what is wrong w/ me.
This must of been a super 8 millimeter or 16mm color soundie.
scopitone
Nino and April get all tawdry and tribal.
these dancers in the chinese clothing would not fly today, it would hurt someone's feelings.
Why? It's an homage to Chinese style.
Today the PC police would scream "cultural appropriation"!
@@scotpens This whole mess hurts my feelings.

Man this is better than "The View"
This song was wrotten under influence of the Doors. Electric organ like Ray Manzarek.
are you insane, it was released a year before The Doors even put out a record. Combo organs were around since the early sixties.
@@will2741 This is amazing. I was don't know these facts that you told me.
@@TheMatveev
No need to worry about it. I thought your Doors comment was cool.
I'm taking a poll: the blonde, the brunette, the redhead, April, or Nino??????
I'll take the redhead!
April
April
The blonde!
Brunette in the red top. 01:00 and other places.
Nino looks like the dude from Desayuno Alegre, Carlos Gastelum.
Sex appeal of the go-go dancers ...0
Sex appeal of April Stevens .....off the scale!!!!!
My Girlfriend's Girlfriend, she's my girl too.
Just imagine all these women are in there 80s know, wonder if they can still move like that
The brunette dancing at the 2:31 mark looks like she could hurt you!
This is some of the cheesiest stuff I've ever seen........
what year was this 1:11 LOVE THE PANTS sexy 2:30 WOW THE PANTS
MichaelHansenFUN copyright is 1966. Might have been done late 65 or early 66. The song was on their Hey Baby album which came out late 65.
Summer or fall of 1965!
Man did they butcher this song. But I suppose that doesn't matter with the background distractions, right?

Hey, I have those versions in my collection. Nice comment.
The cameraman did a fantastic job, considering he was only using one hand for most of the shoot.
Kind of weird at different levels
Those dancers were supposed to take more clothes off
Before implants were popular !
This may be the whitest thing ever. And I've checked.
Check out Dion's version of Born To Be With You and listen to the sax player. It is Nino Tempo the male half of the above duo. One of the great sax solos in rock and roll ever.
Embarrassing much? :D Sorry, Cannibal's always goings to be the best version of this song.
April, tanto talento desperdiçado com músicas medíocres
What in the f**k did I just watch? I loved it and hated it at the same time! [April is hot; Nino is odd]
nah
Какая жуткая погань...
Its....awful.....but I.... cant... look away from it..
