I met Freddie Cannon in Lima Ohio back in the 60's, great personality. Sure miss the 50's-60's r&r. Garbage they call music today I won't even listen to.🕺
Freddie "Boom Boom" Cannon was born on December 4, 1936, therefore he is celebrating his 85th birthday today December 4, 2021. He is an American rock and roll singer, whose biggest international hits included "Tallahassee Lassie", "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans", and "Palisades Park"
Freddie Cannon unique style of singing is heard regularly on Australian radio where he is very popular to this day.Thanks for the posting..a top talent!!
I always felt that Freddie was keeping driving rock and roll alive at this time, when most of his contemporaries were doing more polite (i.e.dull) music. Thanks Freddie! Thanks uploader.
I go by Palisades Park (former) all the time on my Circle Line boat! I still hold my phone up to the mic every once in a while so people could hear what great rock ‘n’ roll was really like! - George Jay
One of the Boys of Bandstand...Freddie "Boom-Boom" Cannon...from Boston. He and the late Bobby Rydell (R.I.P.) bring back some good memories of AB in its Philadelphia days. They provided some musical thrills. Thank you for the video.
I don't think so. I think you're watching part of the act. He knows where the camera is and looks into it several times. I think he acts "exasperated" with the kids for clapping out of rhythm, which I think they are doing intentionally(watch them laughing). At 1:33, I think he's looking at Dick Clark and pointing with his thumb back at the audiance with an expression of like "what's wrong with these kids?". Then he turns back to the camera laughing.
This song was several years old by the time of this clip. Freddy Cannon probably appeared to plug a then-new song he had recorded, but included this one as well, since often during the years, performers appearing on "American Bandstand" would do two songs, their current release and one of their past hits.
There is so little information available about this musician - who played some of the most inventive solos of the rock 'n' roll era. I know he did some terrific stuff with Dale Hawkins.
tictac1959, He did suzy q with Dale. I know it was done over in the recording studio for release and Dale used someone else.Dale had the lyrics & Kenny came up with the hook. But Kenny was in that band with Roy Buchannan & Dales brother. I was so young, but the information is all fact...
tictac1959 Roy Buchannan quoted, Kenny was an original pioneer with the electric guitar. wah wah, Fuzz & feedback. The quote is on the back of a Roy lp.I no lnger have the lp & with dvd the omitted a lot of the stuff we got when we bought a vinyl album. Thanks for recognizing my late Dad... peace
Wow!! I read Freddy's autobiography years ago called Action in which he says your dad's solo was so good that that's the reason the record became a hit!
I sure had fun with this song in 1959! I was graduating from high school in Minneapolis, Minn., when I purchased my first car. It was a mint green 1950 Ford 2-door V8 sedan and cost $125. The previous owner wintered in St. Petersburg and the car had Florida plates with the name Tallahassee on them. When my girl friends and I went cruising on weekends, we told boys we met that we were from Florida, and of course Tallahassee. Coincidently, one of the most popular songs that summer was “Tallahassee Lassie”. We sure did have fun with that car for a while…until I had to buy Minnesota plates!
My dad graduated in 59' in Lemmon SD, he always like garage band stuff and he had a band in High School. He told me one time that the good times are done, and prepare for some wicked times ahead.
Again, us white folks AINT GOT NARY A LICK OF RHYTHM.Can't even clap in time to one of the dirt-simplest records ever! Even Freddie had to give up in the break. And now,back to James Brown on The TAMI Show. All the rhythm you need and nothing you don't.
I do believe that I heard him say that on a radio interview one time, but in the immortal words of Hillary R Clinton " What difference does it make " ?
Check your main volume indicator - usually on the lower right side of your screen. It will go from 0 to 100. However, some videos have low volume and you may need to increase/decrease the sound levels in order to listen to them comfortably.
I was born in the Bronx, raised in Miami, and went to school in Tallahassee, Florida State University. I was always kinda amused of how I’m from the north and ended up in a small southern town called Tallahassee. I loved it there. The campus was beautiful, the people were very welcoming, the town had just enough of everything for a big city gal. It was picture perfect through the different seasons. I loved being a Tallahassee Lassie if just for 4 years! Go Seminoles!!
I think it's a damn shame.. I was a white male teenager in 59.. and I didn't realize what was going on.. I grew up marinated in racists white privilege . in retrospect..I see how wrong it was... if you want some stories from my day.. just let me know..
You got it right my friend - this the way the Baby Boomer generation lived and died for! There was and never will be any better music and dancing then then out generation was!😂❤️❤️
Believe it or not, I just discovered this song last week, thanks to Andy Kaufman. Freddy was a guest on the midnight special, I guess Andy was hosting that particular Midnight Special episodes. Anyways, this such catchy song, great beat! Couldn't help but to notice him getting lost in the middle, didn't know what camera to look into, did they not have red lights on the cameras back then?
If I remember correctly, I saw Freddie Cannon,ConwayTwitty, Little Richard and Duane Eddy all in the same show (!!!) at the Hammersmith Odeon back in the early 60's. And the lovely creature I took to the show dumped me soon afterwards . . . .
Love this .. I can see me and my Brother in the front row... My Brother passed away 10 year ago... Great memories of dancing on this show...

I MOST DEFINITELY AGREE 👍💯
I ALSO AGREE, THAT WAS THE BEST MUSIC 🎵🎵 EVER.
I honestly think the “music” of today is killing everyone’s brain cells
Thats what old folks said about this music.@@MsRadar23
Today's music is trash.
ever noticed how music back then was made to make people feel uplifted? just seems like a more fulfilling time

From Revere, Mass. Great performer!!
What I love is seeing all the teenagers , boys and girls , great to see them all having fun. This was the 50s era. 50s and early 60s is the 50s era
I remember this great song! Never got tired of Freddie's songs. Every time they came on the radio, everybody was like "Oh yeah!"

so lucky to live this era .Thanks Freddie.
It was 1965 and I joined the Marine Corps and I was off to Viet Nam rockin to this song
Freddie Cannon, great song!!
Heard this song just the other day in my car...now one of my all-time favorites❗🎶🎤
Teens loved to dance back then. Especially jams like this rocker.
What a damn handsome cat, and singer. Like him much for long time 😂

One of the better co-ordinated studio audiences !!LOL
some are soooo bad!
These were good!
It's just a shame that freddy is complelty lost desperately trying to find the camera
Man The Clapping Of The Audience Is So Bad !
If you don’t like Tallahassee Lassie there’s something wrong with you 😂.
The greatest music ever, long live rock and roll!!!!
De muziek klonk dikwijls bij mijn Opa & Oma in de woonkamer ! Onvergetelijk ❤🇳🇱🙏👋
Boom-Boom, they did a lot of dancing to this on American Bandstand.......Great dancing music............REALLY HOT!
OMG, I dare anyone alive to sit still during this all-time 50's rocker!! Freddie Boom-Boom, Cannon! Wolfsky9
Hilarious watching him during the instrumental break desperately trying to find where the camera is
I don't think so. I think you're watching part of the act. He knows where the camera is and looks into it several times.

In the break- "What camera? Where? There? Whaaaaaa.....?
Love the live claps out of synch with the record.
This song was several years old by the time of this clip.

Probably "Action"
A great singer
Those poor kids are missing the beat, even Freddie tries to signal them to stop at 1:36
2021
Svengoolie brought me here✌💚💯😁
A favorite to dance ❤I’ve been to Palisades Park, n.j.
Just watched Freddie "Boom Boom" Cannon on Svengooli's TV show. Oh, the nostalgia.
Freddie is a great 👍 guy
I like this song in 1964 i was not round then
Clapping outa time😂
Brilliant beat.luv it.
Thank you for this clip!
Freddie Boom Boom Cannon!!
He dances like my brother Frank did back in the day. He is a cousin of ours.
Is Freddy a cousin of your, oh I had such a crush on him. What/where is he now?
My dad Kenny Paulson on lead guitar. I'd like anyone to give me any info regarding Kenny Paulson guitarist?
The song was covered by Jagger & Richards.
There is so little information available about this musician - who played some of the most inventive solos of the rock 'n' roll era. I know he did some terrific stuff with Dale Hawkins.

Wow! What great times they were, way back then, can remember putting the juke box on dancing to this!
Awesome story! 👍😁

Your Dad was a smart man. 👍He was so dead on.
I didn't find out til a week ago he was singing " F-L-A!
I miss Katherine Harris! This is the song I used to sing about her! : )
Just wondering if Idalia storm cat 3 brought a lot of rain to Tallahassee today. Aug 30 2023
Yes.. many years ago, Florida's abbreviation was Fla!
I am doing An Estate Sale for him tomorrow morning in Tarzana CA
Woww! why? He's still alive, isn't he?
everybody likes this! 😘
hand jive we did to this.
lol -- Look at the way they're all dressed. I miss the good old days. (some of it)
I've got more of a thing for 80's fashions, but yeah, that crowd is better-dressed than most concert goers of today.
WOOHOO FREDDIE BOOMBOOM CANNON 🙃😉🙂
Again, us white folks AINT GOT NARY A LICK OF RHYTHM.Can't even clap in time to one of the dirt-simplest records ever!
Even Freddie had to give up in the break.
And now,back to James Brown on The TAMI Show. All the rhythm you need and nothing you don't.
It always seemed the country was moving forward back then. Not so much anymore.
Could the audience get anymore uncoordinated lol?
Beech nut gum a sponsor of the show...hence the joke about clapping and chewing gum at the same time. Or walking...
+John Repnau I don't understand how the sponser is responsible for those kids lack of rhythm lol
Javal Thomas people who perform hate that!!!
@@GuyedtheRobot How do you preform something?
chick embarrassed town population me
Stalkings' finest 😉
Rock-N-Drag!
Does anyone know that Freddies mother wrote this song?
Yep she wrote the poem.
@@bhodges00 It was called Rock and Roll Baby and the producers changed it.
Listen to Hurriganes version, ,it´s great!
did n't his mother write this for him?
She wrote a poem that he made into a song.
oh ,okay.
I do believe that I heard him say that on a radio interview one time, but in the immortal words of Hillary R Clinton " What difference does it make " ?
She sure did, along with two other writers. reddy said she did.
Could be redone today...when they break down into the clapping chorus, a thick bass riff would work REAL good!

Love the song, but he didn't do his lip-syncing very well.

Lip sunk?
Shoulda made the audience clap only in the handclap sections.
Oh good, a 1965 tv show with a 1959 playback 🙄
playbacking at the best
Great sound , wrong dressing code miss the guitar ....I was expecting someone looking like Dear Hank Williams holding a Guitar 🎸!
amanda french, so you're now a tallahassie lassie for real!!!!
For all our heroes, DICK CLARK IS A GOD
Plenty of in-time clapping! Not!
it spells Tallahassee Lassie
sorry i think mt i-mac had its period
What is F-L-A? 🤔🙋♂️
Florida
@@cjs750 Thanx🙋🏻♂️
Mimed!!!!! Great record however.
segregated by friend groups no no
GREAT song but I prefer The Stones version.
A hundred clean cut white kids clapping off beat. Great song but a really cringey video.
Watch for the alligators they eat people in one bites
Sing it, Freddie.... I married my own Tallahassee Lassie!
Truly one of the greatest, most thrilling r & r records.
Freddie’s mom had a great talent writing the poem this song was based on.
I love this song. I always thought it sounded like rock n roll and punk at the same time.
I was born in the Bronx, raised in Miami, and went to school in Tallahassee, Florida State University. I was always kinda amused of how I’m from the north and ended up in a small southern town called Tallahassee. I loved it there.

It was the Southern Charm that you liked so much
Went to one of his concerts and it was great he had everyone standing and dancing!!!
OMG, this rocker STILL rocks in 2015!! Wolfsky9
Gloria Carelli, I'm with you there, let's Rock. Good Old Rock N Roll ..... The best years for the Music.
Now that's a rocker!
I'm amazed that th audience was integrated. American Bandstand must be ahead of it's time.
+feroniasoleil ther was a controversy about. I think Ab started integrating their audience when it gotleaked that Blacks were denied admission.
I think it's a damn shame.. I was a white male teenager in 59.. and I didn't realize what was going on.. I grew up marinated in racists white privilege . in retrospect..I see how wrong it was... if you want some stories from my day.. just let me know..

Yassssss Tally Lassies!!!
Dick Clark helped make this a hit, by recommending they add the overdub, hand-claps & “woos!” and increase the drum volume
If I remember correctly, I saw Freddie Cannon,ConwayTwitty, Little Richard and Duane Eddy all in the same show (!!!) at the Hammersmith Odeon back in the early 60's. And the lovely creature I took to the show dumped me soon afterwards . . . .
I saw him in Hartford, Conn. during the 70s. Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley were also performing. Great show.
This song plays during a great scene from the movie "Return to Macon County" with Nick Nolte and Don Johnson.
Just found this in a 45, and threw it on..and now im addicted
