I danced their in 1963. I was from Blackford High School and was there with a boy from Del Mar. We entered the slow spot light dance and won: What a thrill:
I was a big hit when I went back to school.
My cousin attended the now defunct Blackford High, graduated in 64 or 65, ended up serving in Vietnam as an MP in our US Army....very cool to see someone who's also from Blackford as it's not been a high school for many years 🙂
My wife and I were on the dance show - those were good days.
It was fun I went on Record Hop in 1960.
My Mom said she remembers watchin this when she was a junior at Overfelt High School...very cool 😎
Been looking up all kinds of things born and raised in San Jose I love going back and looking at the past today's San Jose I don't even know to Techie but I stayed true to my roots East San Jose money doesn't buy me
Last newspaper listing for "Record Hop" in the San Mateo Times was Friday, January 17, 1964. That jives with the time that these songs would have been on the charts. So it seems that "Record Hop" went off the air just before the Beatles hit in the US.
Thank You For your Concern But The Song I'm looking For That They Played On This Show Never Made Any Charts At All. It Never Even Charted The Top 100. Again The Song Was (Pam Pam By The Preps) Nobody Even Put It On RUclips, And Not Ever Listed For Sale On Ebay.
Thank You Again

My father in law and his buddies were regulars on this show in the 50’s
Wow there were so many all over The US. In Detroit, it was Teen Town, In Ohio it was Teen Time, in Montreal, Quebec there was Teen 65 that Peter Jennings hosted and when Pierre Lalonde saw American Bandstand while visiting New York, he convinced French Canada to do their own Show. They featured The Baronets and one of the Members became a Legend who launched the Career and Married Celine Dion.
ABC was by far the poorest of the 3 national TV networks in the late 50s. They couldn’t afford to air national programming in the afternoons unlike NBC and CBS… so they specialized in these type of local shows to young audiences. American Bandstand became one of their first shows to air nationwide in the afternoons due to its popularity… then most ABC stations filled in with local programming like this. Was a huge success for ABC since they catered to a young audience unlike the other networks and they really prospered by the late 60s.
I'm afraid poor KNTV shot itself in the the foot when it cancelled "Record Hop" on January 17, 1964 (correct date) just a week and a day before The Beatles topped the Cash Box chart with "I Want To Hold Your Hand". Indeed, at least in the surviving elements shown here, there is absolutely no mention of them! And why would these kids be doing the Twist in 1965, when they had the Frug, the Jerk, the Swim, the Monkey, and even the Freddie at their command?
Well, that was archaic and fun! Thanks for the peek into a different world.
From 1979 t0 '83 I worked at the station as a cameraperson and floor director. Stew Park and Bud Howard were still there. Stew had moved to administrative end and Bud into the film department, editing feature length movies for time. Once to Bud's chagrin however, his film department did manage to accidentally excise the solo rendition of the titular song for 1954's 'White Christmas'; drawing the local ire of many a film fan. Then there was the KNTV News department's "Miracle on Ice" fiasco, but that's another story...
;-)
I was a senior in high school when Record Hop aired the last time
Our babysitter Gwen Silviera from Soledad mission district was on American Bandstand and we watched it.
My ex lived in Campbell at the time, and was on one of the shows.
SANJOSE NATIVE SAYS . THIS WAS GREAT!!!
I wonder how many of these young men went to Vietnam.
Does Anyone Know Where I Can Get A Copy Of The Song That Was Played On this Show (Pam Pam - By The Preps), Possibly On A Looser Label.
uTube has it
This has to be late 1963, or early 1964.
The current songs they are playing are all from that time period.
Plus, the dancers look way too 'square'.
+geocs58 Agreed. It seems to me that this show went off the air right before JFKs assassination.
@@rayjr62 Plus the reference to Dick Powell theater (63-64)
@@GalacticJourney Agreed. Plus the Motown song "Leaving Here" by Eddie Holland. That song came out in November, 1963.
there not square.....its nowsville man
Fred LaCosse who later anchored NewsCenter4 on KRON?
yes.
Well at that time it was actually a talk show with Stew Parks, because that's all he did was blab! But we all had fun despite him, good to see old friends :)
This tradition of dance shows locally picked up again from TV20,. Was it James Gabbart who hosted those shows? They still have them, it's just more for Boomers/GenX and the ones they did in the 80s focused on 50s music
not 1965, not by a long shot.
