Airdate: February 4, 1967 Welcome Back!....“So Glad We Made It!” To see a ticket stub for today’s episode of “New American Bandstand ‘67” taped on Jan. 28, 1967 at ABC TV Center, Hollywood, check out my channel’s “Community” tab. Also posted is an invitation letter for a Nov.’67 taping at Hollywood Palace. Remember, to attend you must be between 14 and 18 years old. Boys must wear a jacket or a sweater with a tie and girls must wear dresses….no pedal pushers, slacks or shorts. Also, no smoking and cameras and the taking of pictures are not permitted! 😊 (letters and tickets are courtesy of Don Sanuskar) Dancers who were lucky enough to get their ticket and invitation letter for today are: Marcia Silverman in the stands (0:07), Frankie Riggilio (0:24), Danny Lawyer (0:32), A jacketless Mick Tisherman & Robin Morris (0:40), Stan Soburn (0:49), Rick Moreno (0:51), Bernie Kates & Karen Sudlow (1:03), Leslye Vodden (1:08), Martha Favela (1:10), John Pollard (1:20), Famous Hooks (1:26), Frank Vanderpuil (1:42), Dan Snell (1:48), Sandi Apsheen (2:04), a jacketless Jeff Stein (2:22), Deedra Higgins (2:37), Diana Bower (2:46) and Don Sanuskar & Roni Menacker on the riser (1:36) The U.S. mix of “Gimme Some Lovin’” just entered the charts at #39 last week (Jan. 28) and is at #26 today. It will peak at #7 by the end of February. While 18 year-old lead singer Steve Winwood is the star of the group, they named themselves ”The Spencer Davis Group” because Spencer was the only one that liked doing interviews. Tomorrow night (Feb. 5) following “The Ed Sullivan Show”, CBS will premiere “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour” starring comedians Tom and Dick Smothers (“Mom always liked you best”) Despite going up against the highly rated “Bonanza” on NBC, the show would become popular among the younger generation thanks to their unusual, subversive comedy style.
