Brenton Wood’s biggest hit, “Gimme Little Sign”, hits #10 today and will peak at #9 next week. “I Had A Dream” peaked at #17 last week and falls to #44 today. This will be the Raiders’ highest charting song until their 1971 #1 hit, “Indian Reservation”.

In the news this week in 1967, last Monday, Oct. 2 - Thurgood Marshall was sworn is as the first African-American Supreme Court Justice. In Sports, next Saturday, Oct. 14, the NBA’s newest franchise, The Chicago Bulls, played their first game (105-90 loss to the Celtics…Michael Jordan was 4 years old, lol)

In 1967 two great songs made it to the top 10 with the word “Gimme” in the title. “Gimme Little Sign” and “Gimme Some Lovin’”. RIP Spencer Davis.
In the U.S., please go VOTE and thank you for watching!
Maureen Cohen with the teddy bear, that was really cute
so thankful we grew up in those times. So awful now to be a teen!!!
Time traveler!!!
Gimme Little Sign, what an excellent slice of 60s Soul/Pop! To me, this song is easily a great example of the sound of the early 60s meets the late 60s in a nutshell. This screamed smash & now it's legendary. Maurice White of EWF even mentions the title in the bridge of "Let's Groove", one of my absolute faves by them!
I'm almost certain a Hip Hop producer sampled the intro break beat to I Had A Dream already. This is another great late 60s track & also quite different from what Paul & The Raiders were known for at that point. Laid back with a slight soulful undertone to it. Great song!
The dancing here was great! Everyone was into both songs. Of course I love seeing the regulars like Famous, Don, Robin & the rest of the crew. They really were the standouts at that time.
Aaron, this was a great one. Sometimes just giving us a segment at a time really lengthens the enjoyment, cuz we know, as you mentioned, the end is near. Just know that I will periodically watch all of my faves from you whenever that time comes & will leave little comments here & there. Continue to be safe & btw, I already voted. Be well friend!!!
Brenton Wood is underrated
Aaron, thanks for this respite from the current events! Always a pleasure to see bee-bopping' young un's!
Good times! No tattoos! Music will never be like this again! Thanks for posting!
Great underrated Raiders single. Always loved this one.
I use to watch this every week and wishing I was on there too.
@Jane. It was decent dancing.
Love the featured girl dancer's dress and sandals. She would look very stylish in 2020-2021. The classics never get old.
Gimme a Little Sign was fairly popular in my neck of the woods. I remember hearing it on the radio. Can't say I'm too fond of the Raiders tune. The dancers look a bit flummoxed by it, but having fun! Saw the baby faced Don Sanuskar and always smiling Famous and Robin Miller. Frank must've been grounded for this show! 😄
Most of the Country is experiencing an horrendous surge in the Coronavirus. Please do everything you can to prevent the spread of the virus. #Maskup
"Gimme Little Sign" was a big hit in the NYC area on WMCA and WABC. Barely heard "I Had A Dream". Probably got very limited airplay in NYC.
@Brian Schienbein Just looked it up. "I Had A Dream" was played on WMCA NYC for 3 weeks in late August and early September 1967. It peaked at #36 on 9/13/67 before falling off the playlist the next week. It never reached WMCA's top 25 so it wasn't in heavy rotation. Never played on WABC.
Another classic from 1967..thank you P.R/Raiders..🤟🇺🇸
Major crush on Famous since '65 when I first saw him on Shebang...wearing that cardigan sweater...just never forgot because he stands out so completely wonderful!!! Hey Famous!!!!
=
I was 22 yrs old in 1967 I’m now in my late 70s...☑️
Keith Hokanson is at :16. He’s blonde,slightly off to the right in a white shirt and tie, dancing with the short haired blonde girl. Thanks for posting this!
Keith appears to be dancing with Linda Hight (sp?) as in other clips. He's one of my favorite dancers of the '67 season, with a fantastic smile that just makes ya feel good. I hope he's doing well these days.
I wasn't familiar with that Paul Revere and the Raiders song but it was a good one. The cameramen were having lots of fun filming the dancers with this '67 episode.
Gimme some kind of sign was one of songs that I never found to be boring. It was banging tune! Also, Brenton Wood made so much money from both Gimme some kind of sign and Uggum Buggum that it helped him put his wife through medical school.
"Dame una señal" aquí en México, Roberto Jordán la cantó, convirtiéndola en un gran éxito.
Gracias por compartir esta bella música!!!
A “two-fer” bonus today. Way to go Aaron. Smiles abound. So cool. Stay safe and effect the change you want to be. VOTE
two-fer, lol
@@AmericanBandstandAgain 👍
@@dancerdon9175 Hey Don! Two-fers are always great! Lol It's so funny, but last week I wore a sweater with a button up shirt underneath with the collar out to my mother's house, just like you did here! See, styles always come back around. And yes, I voted already!
@@thruthealcove Hey hey Kevin. Nothing beats a retro fashion statement. Good on you. You stay safe as this evil virus spikes country wide. This channel needs your continued wry and witty comments!
@@dancerdon9175 Hey, thanks Don, it's one of the many constant things that keep me going during these crazy times man! Btw, I was very comfortable with that getup. Lol

It’s not fair men clothing looks exactly the same as today’s fashion, and female clothing year by year changes no fair
“ Do not regret growing older, It’s a privilege denied to many” ..🙏☑️
Thanks again Bonnie. You have a sharp eye. I met her at Anaheim Bowl. She was a good dancer. That is just after Devenie and I had parted ways. Devevie and I danced on Band Stand for weeks. Lucky me. I dated two great dancers that made me look good, and both were nice looking.
Brenton made many appearances on AB. Love his hits.
I’m with you Kevin! It’s funny, I work with young adults (in their early 20’s) and when it comes to 60’s music they all know The Beatles and they all know Brenton Wood. Maybe it’s because his songs, particularly “Oogum Boogum”, are used frequently on TV, streaming shows and movies.
Oogum Boogum was used in many TV commercials
Love Brenton Wood! Baby You Got It is another fave of mine. Great Raiders tune, not necessary a good dance number.
Welcome to another Saturday with Aaron's fall special, get one song get part of another for free! Lol! Just wondered if yhe teddy bear got tired of DeeDee and went to partner with Maureen? In case anyone is wondering, there is an earlier video on this channel with DeeDee dancing with the same teddy bear. Good clip today as the days get shorter. Stay safe everyone, we want you back next week.
Lol! Whoever was in charge of filming the kinescope didn’t restart the camera until midway through “Gimme Little Sign” 🙁. Since it’s only about half the song, it’s Fall, and Halloween and the election are around the corner, I’m only charging for the one song today. 😃😃😃
@@YCDTI I'm going to guess that in '67, the cost of playing one song on a Jukebox was 10 cents, or three for a quarter.
Yes, DeeDee had custody of the teddy bear in the clip for “I’m Captured” and “Soul Shakin Psychedelic Sally”. It was nice of her to loan him to Maureen ha ha.
Maybe it was a recycled teddy bear.
@@AmericanBandstandAgain 😂
They made the yawn in the recording really stand out unlike the (barely there) yawn in the Beatles, 'I'm only sleeping' from the year before. Sleep was an okay topic for music, unlike the drug reference songs of the time.
Never heard the Paul Revere song. Where is my time machine? What is weird is realizing that they are all grandparents now, or at least my age.
Bravo todos amigas y amigos
You’re not in my room YOURE IN MY MIND
I HAD A DREAAAM or maybe I’m still having it?
This music is MILES better than hip-hop / rap which sadly has been around for 4 decades now. Although Mark Lindsay does a little rap rendition during the fade out ending of " I Had A Dream "
Famous Hooks and Jenny Nichols!!
I want to go to there. Why wasn’t I 24 years old in 1967? I was negative 22
I've always thought Jenny Nichols smile is what toothpaste commercials are made of😉
I wonder how many are alive, plus they look good
thanks
I always liked that song because it featured Paul Revere on the keyboards instead of all lead guitar
Great
amazing age
Gimme a Little Sign seems to be a different mix than I'm used to. I wonder if they played a "DJ-only" copy or something rare?
Seems the kids had a difficult time dancing to I Had a Dream imho.
After watching this a second time, I picked up something kind of funny. At about the 3:13 mark, it appears the guy gets frustrated with his partner, and just waves his arm in disgust. Maybe he felt she just wasn't as "into it" as she should have been? 🤔
@Brian Schienbein occasionally you see some unhappy campers. 😉
sounds like marriage.
@@tomloft2000 😆 hahaha! My husband will not dance....ever. He's convinced everyone is staring at him. I've tried to get him to just let go. Everyone has a song where they can't sit still. Not my hubby. He leaves me on my own to find my own partner. Oh well.....
I thought maybe he didn't want to have a close up on camera. Or, he wasn't into the song and had enough. Lol
@@lusasilva8373 It was strange to see for whatever reason. I'm surprised they didn't edit out that part of the video tape, before televising it. 😊
Is the entire October 7, 1967 episode available somehow? I'd LOVE TO SEE IT!
Mariah Carey was 0, Taylor swift was 0, Camila Cabello was 0 , Madonna was 9, Michael Landon was 30, Sharon stone was 9 , Michelle Pfeiffer was9, Michael jackson was 9, Justin bieber was 0 , Farrah Fawcett was 20 and Rihanna was 0 in October 7,1967
Good one....1967, I was 12 yrs old. Loved American Bandstand.
@Brian Schienbein Camilla Cabelo started off as a member of Fifth Harmony. She is now a successful solo artist with several hit songs.
The zero represents that they weren't born in October 1967.
In '67 I was 8. LOVED AB EVERY SATURDAY ❤️❤️
@Brian Schienbein I didn't realize it was based on actual talent. Mariah Carey rates a ten as a very talented person. Everyone else on your list, I would rate them all zeros due to having no talent whatsoever.
@@annahshoffner1871 I was a year old in 1967 and started watching AB around the mid-1970s.
hi can u poast more free episodes of american bandstand i love to see the full once not onliny the small clips
Hi Aaron, will you post the full episode of the November 9th 1963 episode? I would really like to see that one. I think it was the 9th. Thanks!
It is on my short-list of episodes to post. Stay tuned 😉
@@YCDTI awesome! Can’t wait to see that episode. Thanks.
@@YCDTI Awesome! You need to start posting more full episodes.
Does anyone remember I Had A Dream? This is definetly my first time hearing it. Just curious, does anyone by chance know if Maureen Cohen is still with us?
Yes, Maureen is still with us. She’s on Facebook under a different last name.
@@bob343536 Thanks, that's great to hear.
oldies geek. Ciai Mio Amico. Como Sta. Well another one I had to miss. That's what happens when you are on an Aircraft Carrier at Sea and somewhere in The North Atlantic or The Mediterranean Sea. But it has been so long we could have been in England or Germany or anywhere in Europe. But it was much better than Vietnam. God Bless.
@@davidfrehlini5430 Thank you! 😊
@@bob343536 I've looked at her facebook and she's aware of this site apparently
