American Bandstand 1970 -Top Ten- Cecilia, Simon & Garfunkel

Описание: This is the final segment of the last episode (I know of) before we fall into the episode-less era of 1971-1974. The ’70 Dance Contest Finalists from all across the US are in studio today to compete. (I’ll definitely post a clip of that soon). To conclude today’s episode Dick Clark, pressed for time due to the dance contest, races through the Top 10.

”Cecilia”, from the hit album “Bridge Over Troubled Water”, peaks at #4 today (#1 on Cashbox) and is Simon & Garfunkel’s final top 5 hit together as they broke up after this album, but would still reunite on occasion afterwards.

…..And at the end, Dick Clark references the short-lived musical TV show called “Get It Together” that aired before Bandstand in 1970 and was hosted by Mama Cass and Sam Riddle. As he mentions, Jack Wild guests on the show next week, most likely to promote the “Pufnstuf Movie” (Zaps The World) which was just released this month and also starred Mama Cass.

Airdate: May 30, 1970

(A quick programming note: I’ll be away for a couple of weeks and won’t be able to post any new clips. No worries though, I still have many, many more clips to left to share. If you need your Bandstand ”fix”, please enjoy the 65 clips already posted and be sure to watch for new videos again soon!)
