Many Many Thanks I was/am the founder, leader, guitarist and one of three vocalists in The Gentrys. I sang this song "Keep On Dancin' "when I was 17. It was a number 4 hit record in September 1965. I am still performing and singing it today. I and all The Gentrys are honored and appreciate so much, your making our hit the soundtrack for this monumental, fun video. MOST OF ALL EVERYONE FROM HOLLYWOOD TO HOME LAND KEEP ON DANCIN' !!!
It was an honor and a privilege to make a video of this great classic from 1965. I'm so thrilled that you and your band enjoyed the video. The Gentrys still rock!!!
To think that one of the lead vocalists of this band, Jimmy Hart, would become one of the most iconic and legendary managers in professional wrestling is amazing.
Lol … after 10 minutes of him being an ass at ringside and the wrestler finally got him by the neck tie, punched him and sent him flying off the ring… funniest bit in wrestling… LMAO…
The 50's and 60's music reflected an age of innocence and simplicity that may never return. It was a fun time. I remember this song well - it was the year I married my high school sweetheart. (Go Sunset Bisons - Class of '62)
Cool how Herman Munster - Fred Gwynn - actually showed more potential as a good dancer with a better sense of rhythm than 95% of the other actors/actresses shown in this clip! Thanks for this post!
It is all back in a huge way.. There are tons of great new classic rock, oldies, neo-soul, psychedelic, everything.. Looks like the kids are sick of shitholer "music" and decided to rock instead!
yep the Cold War was a gas boomertard. Nothing like US & Soviet Union just a hair trigger away from nuclear war & total end of the planet. And just in case you missed it the Vietnam War was moar fun. And helter skelter with the Charlie Manson family as they hacked & slashed to the beat of the times. Which included anti war movement & student protest across the nation including National Guard using the student body of Kent State for target practice. Nevermid political assasinations like JFK,MlK and RFK and George Wallace. And to top it off Watergate and 'I'm not a crook' tricky Dick Nixon.
Love it! Play it often. My 22 yr old son wonders "what's up with Pop and that old tune?" I tell him it's "NOSTALGIA, NOSTALGIC to me! Happy times as a young man...like you, now! I'm 62. That's a 40 Year difference right there! He gets it...., man! Btw, unless my age screwed with me, you left out "The MONKEES" at 1:12 ....dancing with "Catwoman"...sorta (Julie Newmar??).
With all its turmoil in the late 60s. The 60s was still the most coolest decade I have witnessed. And I got to see the late 50s and all of the 60s. Both decades had cool cars and the best music. By the late 70s music was going down hill with the introduction of Disco.
Oh man, this song brings back memories, this was my first 45, I was 9, I asked mom if she would buy it so I could play it on their record player. So grateful I grew up when I did, it's been a wonderful life.
Every time I watch this it's all I can do to keep from falling out of my chair laughing! This is so great; so many great memories. Ahhh, the Golden Age of TV...and music!
Actually the song was too short and the producers wanted more so they added the last part ..That's why the stop occurs but it turned out to make the song even more enjoyable.
The TV mix here is incredibly impressive & wonderful. I watched those shows as a kid & imbibed the fun & silly aspect of the 60s that too few remember. Perfect video to accompany a classic song. You really made this into a gift. Thanks so much.
I appreciate video clips like this! Losing yourself for a couple of minutes to some great garage band music and classic TV dance clips gives you a momentary break from all the craziness around us!!!
This is an incredibly well done happy video. The author spent a lot of time compiling all of the various clips from lots of different old television shows, and it is a FUN video!! Thanks to the author for the hard work and sharing your work with everyone. This definitely puts a smile on your face!!
I remember this song, I was a little girl, loved it then, love it now in 2022 trying to introduce this music to my granddaughters who are 9 and 2. They dance with me and laugh at/dance with me. We have fun. Thanks!
This... is a work of art. Bellissimo! Just when I thought it could not get any better, you go and throw Herman freakin' Munster at me?! You brilliant SOBs! Whoever is responsible for this masterpiece, I salute your genius.
Holy crap! I grew up watching all those TV shows from the 60's and very early 70's. Laughed myself sick watching these folks do their thing! Gonna be one of my go to clips now, among other things, whenever I'm having a lousy day and need a pick me up. Thanks for posting this gem!
I love this song. I was born in 1987 but I grew up on the oldies music from the 50s and 60s by listening to it with my mom driving in her car as a kid. Today's generation of music is terrible. This song is a great example of how amazing oldies music is.
Wow an old dude that thinks that this generations music sucks despite barely even scratching the surface of today's music?? You must feel very special they're aren't many as is.
+I Love bleach It's nostalgia; we forget that we have plenty of awful songs back in the 50's and 60's, we just don't remember any of them. And it was different back then; you could churn out and release lots of songs quickly. Today, you have to have a video to launch a song, so even the best artists only release a few song a year. I don't think you'll have a lot of people with half a dozen hits at the top of the charts like the Beatles did back then. There's still good music; just not as much of it.
Eddie Applegate ("Richard Harrison") playing her boyfriend on the show, passed away at 81 before the end of 2016, a few months after both Patty and her tv father, William Schallert, who died 6 weeks after Patty (Mar. 29) on May 8, 2016. Jean Byron (the mom) died a few years earlier, so now Paul O'Keefe ("Ross", Patty's little brother on the show) is the sole remaining actor alive from the nucleus of that family. He is now 67 (Apr. 1951 birth).
I remember dancing to this song holding a pack of cigarettes size transistor radio to my ear in the backyard of our Long Beach, Calif home. 1965. Awesome time, glad i lived it.
Have always loved this song! This is one fabulous video!! Talk about a blast from the past! Very well put together. Love seeing David McCallum in the rock band! Thank you for this vid!
Imagine years from now someone trying to include a current song as a background for show excerpts from "Chrisley Knows Best" and "The Bachelor". My heart goes out to younger folks who'll never know what true fun is all about.
Hell yeah "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart as the main vocalist, can't believe he went on to become one of the greatest wrestling managers of all time after this.
Jimmy Hart was a backup singer, Larry Raspberry was the lead guitar and lead vocals. They all went to my school. Treadwell High School in Memphis, TN and graduated in 1965. They had this hit before they graduated.
@@robertmcgee5717 wow. I did not know that😨☺ Im not a wrestling fan but my husband and son used to watch it all the time so I knew who Hart is but didn't know he was a singer. Thanks for sharing 👍☺. I learn something new everyday 👍
Many Many Thanks

Larry, I saw you with the Raspberrys at the VCU GYM in 1975 in Richmond,Va. You guys blew the roof off....one of the best shows I ever saw!!!!!!!
This is such a great record I had to look it up after Jimmy Hart talk about it on that WWE Network.
I read a long time ago that this song was cowritten with Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart. Any truth to that?
I loved it! Great job!
The 60s we're a time of very infectious music.
I am now 72,. A lot of these performers are passed away but they are all well remembered and never forgotten male and female xo
We need more of this these days.
got to meet Billy Mumy in 2014, very nice guy
one of the legendary videos of RUclips. this here never gets old.
Who needs aerobics with dances like these? LOL. I MISS those days.
Hello Kimberly, How are you doing?
Me❤
This clip showcases basically the who's who of the 60's, magnificent
Glad i was born in those days the 60s and 70s had the best rock n roll and country in my opinion
50s-70s Best music and coolest cars in history.
Agree!
Don't forget the foundation of Rock and Roll, the 50s
I remember the 60's but was too young to have adult fun, the only problem about being a young adult at that time was Vietnam.
It was an honor to be alive and young in those decades. We had something special.
WINS BEST U-TUBE VIDEO EVER!
I grew up in the 80s and was raised on all these RE-RUNS!
This song and clips can't help but make you SMILE!
Old guy here and 15 yr old when this hit the AM radio . Nice garage band dance tune!
Whoever put this together, it's OUTSTANDING! I watched all those shows when I was a kid.
I know. I nearly cried when I saw Gilligan's island 🤣
Me too.
Herman Munster get me everytime.
😂
@@gregorykiernan7849 And then he went on to be the judge in "My Cousin Vinny" LOLOL! Great actor!
I saw a lot of them on 'Nick at Night'. Good memories.
I been watch old music vids and seriously dont know whether to smile or cry.
Long live the batoosie!
Probably the best compilation of 60's tv sitcoms I have ever seen and to top it off with a great soundtrack by the Gentrys!
Cheers!
What a FUN video😆
I love this 1965 song "Keep on Dancing" because of its rhythm.
The video throws me back to 1965.
classic good job
To think that one of the lead vocalists of this band, Jimmy Hart, would become one of the most iconic and legendary managers in professional wrestling is amazing.
That's how I even heard of this band/song. Good stuff!
Lol … after 10 minutes of him being an ass at ringside and the wrestler finally got him by the neck tie, punched him and sent him flying off the ring… funniest bit in wrestling… LMAO…
Great song, Great video.
Watching old vids and hearing songs I grew up with always makes me twinge a bit with sadness, that world is gone.
The 50's and 60's music reflected an age of innocence and simplicity that may never return. It was a fun time. I remember this song well - it was the year I married my high school sweetheart. (Go Sunset Bisons - Class of '62)
The Sunset Bisons is an amazing name for a sports team.
Great video! RIP to all those that have passed from this by gone era.

Nice video for an awesome garage rock tune...
When music and times were great, fun and innocent.
God, I miss those days.

But m-muh perfect, non-violent childhood. These dang kids and their iPods don't play outside anymore. And the hip-hop music.
Me too.

One of my grandma fav song before she passed away it hurts to sing and hear but I like it because of her 😥
Damn we sure had some fun
Totally AWESOME ! Saving !!😂😂😂😅😅😅
what great , fun clips !!
great song and great video.....made me chuckle watching it.
Anytime I want to shake off a bad day... I come here.
Love it! Play it often. My 22 yr old son wonders "what's up with Pop and that old tune?"

If Agent 99 was dancing around me like that, my head would have exploded.
Patty Duke,Gidget and Ginger. Cool compilation.

Lived it too. Agree100
The Gentrys were an awesome kind of group. Love to dance to their music..
Oh man, this song brings back memories, this was my first 45, I was 9, I asked mom if she would buy it so I could play it on their record player. So grateful I grew up when I did, it's been a wonderful life.
this video is 10 years running and still the best on RUclips!!
You really picked the cream of the crop in TV shows. Aces ALL!
Oh gosh, grrreat compilation!
RIP Mary Tyler Moore. Brought us such joy in everything she did.
So did Patty Duke, Joyce Jameson, Fred Gwynne, and all the others who gave us such great tv memories growing up in the never-dull 1960s!
I was born 20 years after this song was made and I love this video and the song is amazing. Only here because Jimmy Hart was an amazing manager!
Every time I watch this it's all I can do to keep from falling out of my chair laughing! This is so great; so many great memories. Ahhh, the Golden Age of TV...and music!
Great video clips to match this song
thank you RetroTVCentral ! the best of times. I am glad to part of that era. 💕
This is one of my all-time favorites. I love that part where it just stops. I danced to this song at my sister's wedding.
*****
I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
That had to be fun 😃
Actually the song was too short and the producers wanted more so they added the last part ..That's why the stop occurs but it turned out to make the song even more enjoyable.
Excellent clip! I love it! Brings back memories when tv and music was fun.

Absolutely wonderful. I am 63 and haev fond memories of the music and the television of the 60s. This is so much fun to watch
Wow what a cool song so happy full of joy.
Video is great happy OLD days.
If only I could travel back and be part of it!!!
I can Dream..... X
This compilation should win an award
I appreciate video clips like this!
Losing yourself for a couple of minutes to some great garage band music and classic TV dance clips gives you a momentary break from all the craziness around us!!!
YES Nico😀
One of The Gentrys was Jimmy Hart who later became a manager in professional wrestling.
Love the way the clips from old T.V. shows were worked in.
I've been looking for the name of this tune for quite some time and couldn't pin my finger on it. Until now; what a relief.
This video is out of this world.
This is the music of my parents. Whenever I miss my dad I put this on and imagine them together. RIP Pop
I loved watching re-runs of gidget!! Every Saturday afternoon
A very happy video!
Maybe the most feel good music video ever made. Congrats.

Jimmy "the mouth of the South" Hart WWE manager formed the Gentrys
Jimmy was also responsible for so many of the wrestling themes us 80s kids are nostalgic for. Such an underrated musician.
this right here is a fun fact.
That's what brought me here I just found out and had to you tube it
This... is a work of art. Bellissimo!

Literally the best video EVER!!

one of the best videos on RUclips! So happy and fun. Thank you for putting this together!
Lol my favorite comedy sitcom of all time Get Smart lol.
This is right up there with Big Bird singing Bird Is The Word!
Good and happy video. Thanks.
Wow!!! Lurch, Mr. Mooney, The Skipper and Uncle Martin all doing the boogie!!! Gotta love it.
Notice how smoothy Dick Van Dyke moves at :30. He did a lot of stage dancing and it shows. Great video. thanks for making it.
larry
whats amazing is that he was likely so drunk it was amazing he could still stand much less dance
@@LtBrown1956 He's in his late 90s now and still dancing. He's on YT.

Absolutely beautiful compilation set to an awesome song!!!🥰🥰🥰
Keep on, dancin' in a frying pan...😅😅😅
Made me smile from about 1 second in. till the end of the video.
That scene with Granny and all the Beatniks doing the potato dig was one of the funniest gags ever.

I did not know Jimmy Hart was a singer in the 60's!!
I just found out that Jimmy Hart (of WCW/WWF) was in this band (and made music). So cool :) Lurch dancing was the best hehehe.
I love the compilation video...man, what a trip down memory lane.
Remember this song, so fun to dance to! Lordy, I loved growing up back then!
What a magnificent compendium of all the weird stuff that kids grew up with in the 60s. Great!
sad to think most of these people passed. great video
Love this video with keep on Dancing. Pretty cool!
Thanks to whoever put this together, hilarious!!
