It's great he appeared on American Bandstand not only was R Dean Taylor alive, so was Dick Clark. This came out in 1970 I was 14 and I was in Junior High School. On 4/24/2023, Who's still listening to this wonderful song? I'm 67 Yrs old and will still be listening to this wonderful song.
I thought Dick would ask him something along the lines of, "being a law-abiding Canadian, how did you come up with a song about a criminal on the run in Indiana, of all places"? Would be interesting to hear his answer ..
This is an absolute treasure that I have waiting to see again for 50 years. My childhood was dedicated to watching American Bandstand from 1970, 1971, & 1972. The years so very few performances have been preserved. What a dream come true.
R. Dean Taylor made his network debut on American Bandstand on Saturday August 29,1970 singing “Indiana Wants Me” sadly we lost R. Dean Taylor on January 7,2022😞🎶🎸🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
My favourite song is Theres a ghost in my house i heard this song in 1977 i was with my future husband to be at the time we went to a pub in Cambridgeshire England and it was being played on the Dukebox i have loved this song ever since than
I remember back in 1970 when "Indiana Wants Me" hit the AM airwaves. I used to sit by the radio all day hoping it got played. I must have called the radio station DAILY, sometimes more than once, requesting that song.
What a great song and a great song writer. They simply do not ( in my opinion) write songs now like they used to. The golden years of music is of the past. This is a beautiful, heart aching love song. RIP Richard Dean Taylor. ❤
This is the last episode of the 1969-1970 season. They stopped making kinescope copies after this and I dying to see any episodes after this but it is very slim.

Thank you for posting. There's very few early 70s era AB clips out there so this is a rarity. Much appreciated with his passing.
