American Bandstand – Sept. 20, 1969 – FULL EPISODE – Creedence Clearwater Revival

Описание: VH1 chopped the heck out of these “Best of Bandstand” episodes, but even edited and kinescoped, at least they gave us an ever-so-brief glimpse into the rarely seen world of late 60’s Bandstand.

This was during the brief time when Bandstand struggled to get dancers on the show. As you can see, there are far fewer kids dancing today vs most other episodes, especially compared to the packed-in studios of Philadelphia and the early Hollywood years. Why didn’t kids want to dance on Bandstand in 1969? Changing times?, changing music?, changing tastes?, or maybe it just wasn’t “cool” anymore? Not sure. This period did not last long, however, as the dancefloor was crowded again by 1970.

Happy Birthday to @dancer don, Don Sanuskar!!! Don can be seen dancing in this episode, most prominently when he danced with Robin Miller to “Jean” in the Spotlight Dance. Have a great birthday tomorrow Don!
