American Bandstand 1964 – Spotlight Dance – (Just Like) Romeo & Juliet, The Reflections (Colorized)
Video Overview & Insights
Airdate: May 30, 1964
Lame video ,GREAT song
Long before I started posting AB clips, I always enjoyed watching this rare, full dance segment from the 60’s thanks to NRRA Archives (I wish they would post more dancing segments if they have them). Also, thank you to Andrew Haberman for colorizing it.
The Reflections one big hit is at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week.
0:40 Dick was smooth as hell when he walked off and wrapped that mic camera around him as he went back to the podium. Lol
If you haven’t already done so, please get vaccinated.
Thanks for watching!
High school 😂

Dick Clark...in this clip why does he sound and move like Ray Liota in Goodfellas 😂
@patsalas5170Dick Clark at the peak of his "World's Oldest Teenager" period. Great audiovisual document of a bygone pop cultural era. R.I.P. 2012 ...

@jerseypete6674Looks so good and innocent, but in the background racism was rampant…
@nortondlclWatched AMERICAM BANDSTAND every Saturday with DICK CLARK copied dancing moves from the teens dancing on the show danced like these girls are doing now at dances sock hops at school 😅😅
@PatriciaStambaughI will take the 50's, 60's anyday over today. Even with the problems we had back then. It was still better then today's.
@alissagonzales735Some very good looking kids

@lovevivaldiThey look a lot older than teenagers probably the way they dressed
@wildoceanappaloosawomangay2535They look like they are in their 20s
@nancifymeOh my friend were older but no wiser. If you csn realise that you can grow.
@robertrucker9161Fabulous !! There will never be another era for music and dancing like the 60s and the 70s
@karenbourke1783I was only two years old when this came out
@peggyjones5494Dribbling with invisible footballs..
@DUDLEY2000our parents at the time thought the music and the dancing were insane and crazy, a fad that would never last.
@NondualityMy mom and dad got married that year and I was born October 1964.
@TimothyHile-e7iHow did we ever think dancing like this was cool?
@terrililly1957Love watching this.I was 10 but my two older sisters would be dancing in the living room when Bandstand was on.I remember thinking my two sisters were Goofy !
But I learned to love it as I got older. Great to see this, it just brings back so many great memories ❤
The girls all had on such cute shoes! And that "Frank" seemed like a real go-getter and ladies man, hope he went on to successful life.
@sharonelaine-t5sImagine a time with clean-cut teens, having fun to great music...mo twerking, tats, or nose rings...
@BUSTER.BRATAMUSThey looked great .We had some awesome, meaningful songs in that era. I always have remembered the Staple Singers,"Respect Yourself", Thats been a great song for all generations!!!
@lyndaridgel-gillette5451Is it just me, or do these 15, 16, and 17 yr olds look older than that... 🤔
@stevegold7307born in 47..philly rock n roll better than alen fried and cousin brucie
@edjoyce5716I listen to 60’s in my car and when I’m in the garden working. Love the 60’s
@beckyphillips7924Pretty good moves there. These teens look much more mature than today's youth. Dick Clark was the forever teenager!
@judycolson6047Dick Clark should check IDs they all look 40
@luvnhopeyall😊This song sounds very,very motownish.
@chrisjackson985Wow. Normal names. I have heard of them all. Even last names were pronounceable.
@willyburtz7299Dressed nice, polite and mannerly. Dont see as much these days.
@pamelakrueger7353WHEN MUSIC WAS MUSIC 💕💕
@MszeezeeBest ever
@MaryBurnicheThank God for the Beatles.
@johnsummerhill8323Very nice. I wonder what ever became of them
@sweetiepie1862I'd kill for Carol House in the day guarenteed. Robert at 71. I'd never be bored. Unfortunanaty Frank O'Verde got mixed up in the gay S.F. nightclub scene and died in the 1980's from aids. I would of saved Carol House, but I was only 10 at the time..
