Unforgettable moments... wonderful times, the sixties and seventies... quality music... times when everything was much more relaxed. Back then you could still talk about dancing. It really had its charms. Big contrast to today's society...! Chris Montez... pure youth sentiment...!
A lady I used to work with told me stories from when she was a teenager in the early 60s. You’d invite kids over from school and have “record parties.” Everyone would bring a few singles and dance. Kind of like in this video. New sound, new dances, and just innocent fun. The 60s were in no way perfect, but I always longed to have been able to grow up back then. Even as a child when TLC and Boys II Men were huge, I still preferred my oldies station and listening to my grandma tell nostalgic stories. ☺️ So many great hits!
In the early 60's, we would go to a local amusement park. Friday night was coke a COLA night and we take our bottle caps to pay for the rides. There as a famous ballroom when the big bands would play there but in the 60's rock n roll bands played. I was in my preteens then and this band would play Hang On Sloopy they were The McCoys. The dance craze was the STOMP. Packed ballroom stomping to the beat of Hang On Sloopy. Best time of my life.
when i watch these kids who are now in their seventies...like myself....i often wondered....this had to be the best time of their lives...even if we didn't think so at the time....
Actually, I knew we were living during a special time. However, Uncle Sam, had a different plan for me. So I ended up missing out somewhat. However, I've been involved in the MJ style, hip hop, and, Scottish Country Dance, in recent years, and I'm almost 72 years old.
I remember these songs from the 60ties and the 50ties ,these were the best years to live in, the music was great and so we're people back then. These songs bring back so many good memories for me. Would I go back to these days if I could? YES,!!! ♥️
@@sharonrebibo6015 Don’t know about safe ! Children were seen but not heard. Pediphiles got away with everything because children were thought to have overactive imagination
I was born 62. 85 was when I entered university. I don’t look back on queuing at the post office every month to pay the bills… And playlists are a bit better than trying to hit the song you liked with the recorder pickup. And hey, the world was supposed to go under in a nuclear war before the year 2000, the Cold War was on. But ok, the 90’s were great.
What is nice is you can enjoy the music even now. I do pottery at a studio, and I am one of the older ones. Many in their 20s know a lot of the songs I enjoyed, and even before my time. It makes it fun.
No guitar needed! Just a hard thumping drum, a rockin' organ and Chris Montez's voice! I loved it when I first heard it in 1962, and still love it today. I miss the old days. They may have had their bad times, but they aren't as crazy as they are now.
@@AlanSmith-ym8pj We checked out Wikipedia and found the original lineup: Joel Hill on guitar, Ray Johnson on Philicorda organ, Ray Pohlman on bass guitar and Jesse Sailes on drums. The dominant drumming of Sailes and Johnson on the organ practically fade out Hill's rhythmn guitar. It is there, keeping rhythmn with the drums, but hardly anyone would notice. While there is no biographical information on Mr. Hill or Mr. Johnson, Jessie Sailes (1919-2007) was a drummer who played on many hit records during the 1940's and '50's. Ray Pohlman--born Merlyn Ray Pohlman (1930-1990) was a member of the well known session group The Wrecking Crew and was a bass guitarist for various artists from Sam Cooke to The Beach Boys. Check Wikipedia for a full list. Thanks for the correction, mate! I learned something I never knew before.
To be technical the guitarist isn't pressing fully down on the frets. so it has an almost percussive sound which makes it harder to recognise as a guitar
Even at age 69, that drum intro gets my feet going. One of my wife's favourite tracks; they used to play it at a weekly disco we attended in the early seventies. It was old then, but it still filled the floor!
The music we had back in the sixties was absolutely phenomenal. It had the right beat, the right words, and it made you want to dance and boy did we. Gee, wonder if I could still make some of those moves today? LOL LOL
I'm 73 now and the only music I can listen to is from the 60s what a fantastic decade.i watch and listen and remember the great times when everyone was well dressed without studs in their faces and other crap , what a great country it was then,miss it so much all the best to all the 60s people enjoy remembering the fantastic days
I've tried to live life as it comes--74 now. I didn't want to sound like my parents living in the forties all the time. But when I watched this today, I got the first feeling that it was much better then and that I would give anything to be there. Anywhere other than where we've wound up with all the technology, rap un-music, entitled people, millennials, outspoken idiots, etc. I haven't bought an album since the 80s. That's when they stopped making music.
It is nice to see the young people back then dance to the music it was so lively and they were so happy, all races and colors together, something that is kind of rare in a way today.
I loved this and bought the 45 when I was 13 in junior high back home in the Bronx I can still remember dancing to this with my girl at a school dance with a lot people crowded around us clapping back in the day Those days are gone for good Still got it although packed away, after all with you-tube anything you want to hear is a few seconds away

It's too late! Those times will only live in the memories of those who lived in 1950s/60s. The World has now changed so much. However. us oldies can be taken back to those times whenever there is the music that we used to sing along with or dance to.

didn't we though. i'm 70 and my girls love to dance with me. jive, waltz, chalipso, pony. we have a great time at weddings, just not enough places to dance anymore.
Where in Scotland? I'm just curious because that is one of the places I have wanted to visit my whole life because supposedly that's where my family originated. There and Ireland. I have no family here anymore. They are all gone hopefully to a better place! I danced a lot back in the day as well but not so much anymore. If I would have known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself! 🙃 It is funny because it's true.
@@irenecarhart I am from a Scots/Irish family,my grandfather moved here as he was on the run,he was to be executed by firing squad,my grandfather was fighting the British after they burnt the family farm down looking for weapons (that were not there) sadly this activity by British forces made young lads in Ireland join the IRA in the late part of the 20th century.My grandfather told me he had to fight back in some way at the family having the farm burnt down,I can't argue with that...I felt really sad when you said you had no family...tell you what Irene,after a recent car accident I prob will be joining you up in the great dancehall in the sky my family is your family and I hope youl have that dance with me..ps the place in Scotland where I was brought up is a little town called Falkirk....best wishes Sean
Me & my brother used to play my mums Chris Montez LP on 75bpm. It made us laugh so much. This song will always remind me of them both. 20yrs this July my mum passed and 10yrs have come & gone since my brother passed. This song still makes me smile as it brings back great memories as a young kid.
Wow! Going to the dance growing up and seeing these older ( seniors) girls with their perfect Breck Girl hair and sweater dresses just mesmerizing! God it was fun!
les années 60 c était une époque formidable en 60 j avais 12 ans on dansait on s amuser il y avait moins de contraintes que maintenant mais enfin c est la vie Claude progni
He was an amazing person.even though his song made me cry because whenever I get a notification for this song I love it because it helps me recall my late wife of which tears run down my eyes how are you today? Well, my name is Harvey can we Be friend🌺🌺
I play bluegrass and was playing at an American Legion..My mom got up and was gliding across the floor with her 1950s style moves like these ladies and I had to tell some of the old men my mama was married lol..When I hear this old rock and roll music I think of her cause she listened to it all the time and danced lol
One of my favourite dance tunes from the sixties. I remember dancing to it in the school hall in 1962 - the year of the big freeze in the UK. Or was it 1963? Long time ago!
+Ann TwoShoes I agree ,and the year of the big freeze was 1962 , as i was going out with my girl friend and we would sit for hours on my m/bike in the snow !
+Ann TwoShoes Yeah, the Big Freeze of the 1962-63 winter. Great times, back then, with such fabulous records in the charts, and lots more to come as the Sixties progressed.
Ann TwoShoes - As far as I can tell, this song was first released in the U.S.A. in June, 1962. The Big Freeze started in the U.K. around Christmas, 1962.
There's no way this show isn't from California. The clothes, the hair.....Southern California, hands down. I lived there in the '60's and miss the dancing like this.
The dance performance is from a TV show, Hollywood a go-go, hosted by Sam Riddle. Here you can see him directing dancers to take centre stage. Also the house Gazzarri Dancers appear here. This song is dubbed over the original sound track but I am not sure what song that had been.
I’m 50 yrs old my grand pa use to play this and a bunch others now I play em with my 8 yr old daughter and we dance like this 🤣😂🤣 Miss you granddad- served 1941-1965 Army 4th infantry division
how cool to have your contribution to pop culture to be an appearance on one of these shows as a teenager ..... you can go online and show your grand kids how you were on the cutting edge of cool back in the day!
As an 17 year old student at College at Walthamstow London, I had tickets to see Chris Montez , Tommy Roe and the Beatles on 9 March 1963 at the Granada East Ham. My girlfriend and I attended a great concert which stayed in my heart being a great fan of all three, ln December1988 flying on Concorde from London to Barbados my Norwegian wife and l sat by Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach, who, like ourselves were going to Mustique. We were to stay with our friend Basil Charles the owner of Basils Bar Mustique as on 7 January 1989 we had exclusively booked a celebration of my wife's 40th birthday party attended Ringo, Barbara and Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall. Mick and l shared an architect who designed both our villas
Chris Montez toured the UK in 1962 on the strength of this cracking song. In Gloucester, about 120 miles west of London, he had this totally unknown support band called The Beatles. Chris had never heard of them. Nor had the local newspaper reporter, whose main interest was in Chris Montez, the hot new American star. Out of professional concern for accuracy the reporter got this unknown Brit group to write their names in his notebook, thus getting perhaps the first set of Beatles autographs. A few weeks later he threw the notebook away....
This is masterful! The talent it took to put this all together boggles the old mind. Great music. I have played it a dozen times, as I lived through those eras and recall the movies. We will never see the likes of them again.
The boogie moves and energy are contagious! Not being of this generation Mr. Montez is heard of in many generational performers. This banger among many of his others are simply magnificent🎉 Bravo
I love this music my grandad always played 50s and 60s music when i was growing up and i am to be married this year september 2019 :) and i am thinking of having this brillant song, that i love so much as me and my partners first dance plus i think that would put a smile on my grandad and nans face get everyone up and dancing
This brings back so many memories. I actually went to bandstand when they were here in California and got to know so many great people. I enjoy watching these because I am in my seventies

This song reached number 2 in the British Charts during October1962 It stayed in the charts for 18 weeks.
At 71 years old, every now and then I listen to the 60s music. It's very infectious.
i'm 76 and i never stopped.
I listen to it daily!!😊

No hog rings in their noses.

Except the Vietnam War.
I was born in 85. I'm so jealous of the older generation to live through this. Must of been amazing, such simpler times, no hassel, enjoying life.
I was born 62. 85 was when I entered university. I don’t look back on queuing at the post office every month to pay the bills… And playlists are a bit better than trying to hit the song you liked with the recorder pickup. And hey, the world was supposed to go under in a nuclear war before the year 2000, the Cold War was on. But ok, the 90’s were great.
I was born 1953 so the late 60s and 70s were the best eras for music for me as a teenager.
I was bore in 62 and I miss the 80’ the music was just amazing …remember the Disco!

@@irenecarhart I am from a Scots/Irish family,my grandfather moved here as he was on the run,he was to be executed by firing squad,my grandfather was fighting the British after they burnt the family farm down looking for weapons (that were not there) sadly this activity by British forces made young lads in Ireland join the IRA in the late part of the 20th century.My grandfather told me he had to fight back in some way at the family having the farm burnt down,I can't argue with that...I felt really sad when you said you had no family...tell you what Irene,after a recent car accident I prob will be joining you up in the great dancehall in the sky my family is your family and I hope youl have that dance with me..ps the place in Scotland where I was brought up is a little town called Falkirk....best wishes Sean
@@stilllaughing3959 Thank you! You're very sweet. If you don't mind me asking what happened? Are you okay?
Now this is what I call dancing. Even though I'm not from that era but believe me when I say this was the best music.
EVERY DECADE THE 20" TO THE 80'S THE DANCE WAS GREAT - TODAY I FEEL KIDS ARE ROBBED OF JUST HOW GOOD DANCINGTHE NIGHT AWAY FEELS.
JUST BYFAITHFUL. I DONT HA To Collecting MONEY... HALELUYA. MY FAITH IS TO STRONG AND So Big I DON'TBELIEVE IS ME.
Louis Caruso. WELL NEXT TIME. OPEN YOUR OWN TUBE...STUPID. DON"T DO.THAT NO MORE MORON.
One of the greatest twist records ever made. Fantastic beat! This record was played again and again at parties in 1962/3.
Best song ever! That beat and most of all Chris Montez's voice.🎸🎶💃🏽💞
Me & my brother used to play my mums Chris Montez LP on 75bpm. It made us laugh so much. This song will always remind me of them both. 20yrs this July my mum passed and 10yrs have come & gone since my brother passed. This song still makes me smile as it brings back great memories as a young kid.
I wish there was a club where we could dance like this all night.
Wow! Going to the dance growing up and seeing these older ( seniors) girls with their perfect Breck Girl hair and sweater dresses just mesmerizing! God it was fun!
A TRULY GREAT ERA
I remember this song from the early '60's. Still enjoy listening to it today.
Let's dance Trisha 💃
I'll dance with you to Trisha Ann .I am a old age pensioner but can still hold the girl and manage a few steps 🎼♥️
I would love to dance with you
I wish I could have lived in those times , everything was so classy and fun
It indeed was. But if you lived in those days, you'd be an old man, like I am today . ( 68) But it was great.
@@skipdow3 nothing wrong with being more expirienced and mature! Nice to see more mature people on the internet
Les années 60 étaient merveilleuses et les chansons formidables !
les années 60 c était une époque formidable en 60 j avais 12 ans on dansait on s amuser il y avait moins de contraintes que maintenant mais enfin c est la vie Claude progni
That drum intro.....perfect!
Yes!!!!!!!!!x
Holy crap!! Does this bring back memories or what....This was music at its best I think....
Yeah! Loved it and love it forever! Thank goodness for CZcams!
you thinks right
He was an amazing person.even though his song made me cry because whenever I get a notification for this song I love it because it helps me recall my late wife of which tears run down my eyes how are you today? Well, my name is Harvey can we Be friend🌺🌺
GROWING UP IN THIS TIME GOD IT WAS GREAT THIS KIDS NOW DAYS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GOOD MUSIC AND GOOD TIMES ARE
It's still as fresh today as was play in 1962. 😊
I play bluegrass and was playing at an American Legion..My mom got up and was gliding across the floor with her 1950s style moves like these ladies and I had to tell some of the old men my mama was married lol..When I hear this old rock and roll music I think of her cause she listened to it all the time and danced lol
In the 60s with the 7" Let's dance vinyl in hand I went to all the house parties. Great Chris! How much fun we had!
God, doesn't this bring back the memories. I've watched and listened to this video Many time and remember when I was out on the floor. Love it.
He is one of the very few artist that can brag that once, he was bigger than the BEATLES! They were once his opening act!
I always loved this song.
What a GREAT tune!! You CANNOT sit still hearing this!!
One of my favourite dance tunes from the sixties. I remember dancing to it in the school hall in 1962 - the year of the big freeze in the UK. Or was it 1963? Long time ago!
+Ann TwoShoes I agree ,and the year of the big freeze was 1962 , as i was going out with my girl friend and we would sit for hours on my m/bike in the snow !
+Ann TwoShoes major hit on campus of Penn State in '63-64; college Mixers were fantastic.
+Ann TwoShoes Yeah, the Big Freeze of the 1962-63 winter. Great times, back then, with such fabulous records in the charts, and lots more to come as the Sixties progressed.
Ann TwoShoes - As far as I can tell, this song was first released in the U.S.A. in June, 1962. The Big Freeze started in the U.K. around Christmas, 1962.
ali vlisten
There's no way this show isn't from California. The clothes, the hair.....Southern California, hands down. I lived there in the '60's and miss the dancing like this.
Sounds fun Bonnie 😄
The dance performance is from a TV show, Hollywood a go-go, hosted by Sam Riddle. Here you can see him directing dancers to take centre stage. Also the house Gazzarri Dancers appear here. This song is dubbed over the original sound track but I am not sure what song that had been.
Oldie but goldie I’m 22 years old lovin this funk
I’m 50 yrs old my grand pa use to play this and a bunch others now I play em with my 8 yr old daughter and we dance like this 🤣😂🤣
Miss you granddad- served 1941-1965
Army 4th infantry division
I love the big smiles on everyone's faces. :-) Happy happy.
Yes these were Happy Happy times
There will in my opinion never be a time like the 60s for music the kids today dont know what they are missing.
I grew up listening 60's music. It was the best!! ❤❤❤
how cool to have your contribution to pop culture to be an appearance on one of these shows as a teenager ..... you can go online and show your grand kids how you were on the cutting edge of cool back in the day!
Ready steady go Friday night Eileen
Just clean and pure, i lived through it, and loved it.
American Bandstand- Spotted the monkey, fruge, watusi, several others. Each couple danced their favorite.
Beautiful people, 60's style.
As an 17 year old student at College at Walthamstow London, I had tickets to see Chris Montez , Tommy Roe and the Beatles on 9 March 1963 at the Granada East Ham. My girlfriend and I attended a great concert which stayed in my heart being a great fan of all three, ln December1988 flying on Concorde from London to Barbados my Norwegian wife and l sat by Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach, who, like ourselves were going to Mustique. We were to stay with our friend Basil Charles the owner of Basils Bar Mustique as on 7 January 1989 we had exclusively booked a celebration of my wife's 40th birthday party attended Ringo, Barbara and Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall. Mick and l shared an architect who designed both our villas
I love the way they all get to take a turn on the dance floor whilst every body else stands back and watches
When we all danced. It was great times.
Chris Montez toured the UK in 1962 on the strength of this cracking song. In Gloucester, about 120 miles west of London, he had this totally unknown support band called The Beatles. Chris had never heard of them. Nor had the local newspaper reporter, whose main interest was in Chris Montez, the hot new American star. Out of professional concern for accuracy the reporter got this unknown Brit group to write their names in his notebook, thus getting perhaps the first set of Beatles autographs. A few weeks later he threw the notebook away....
The dancers are great.
Chris Montez Band is my favourite and the way they sings the songs.
Those great days of the 1960's that changed music forever!
This is masterful! The talent it took to put this all together boggles the old mind. Great music. I have played it a dozen times, as I lived through those eras and recall the movies. We will never see the likes of them again.
The boogie moves and energy are contagious! Not being of this generation Mr. Montez is heard of in many generational performers. This banger among many of his others are simply magnificent🎉 Bravo
Mad Greek
Clasic song from the 60s.this young man had a few hits.60s were great with music.
This was a great dance song, the beat is phenomenal.
I wish I was born earlier and could have experienced this time.❤
I love this video! Great dancing and fun to watch! Epitomizes the swinging 60s dance era!
I love this music my grandad always played 50s and 60s music when i was growing up and i am to be married this year september 2019 :) and i am thinking of having this brillant song, that i love so much as me and my partners first dance plus i think that would put a smile on my grandad and nans face get everyone up and dancing

@@Onetonymoe thank you :)
@@p4nda469 thank you :)

🥰
Hello,how are you?
This brings back so many memories. I actually went to bandstand when they were here in California and got to know so many great people. I enjoy watching these because I am in my seventies
We went to the oringal in Philly. Cut school to go. Thankfully didn't get caught. Best day of my life!! I was on TV
Apaixonada nessa música! Alegria contagiante! 2023 🇧🇷
Brings back fantastic memories...
yeah, of my teenage angst!
Great song lets dance
The 1960's had the best dance moves by far. No other decade comes close. None.
I'd say 70s disco is a pretty close contender
Ummm... Michael Jackson?
Some dancers in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s did some pretty crazy stuff too. For example, take a look at some swing dancers of the age.
The 50`s would give you a run for your money.
view Bill Haley and the comets. RIP IT UP 1956
Oh wow!! What I’d give to go back in time. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I would rather be in my 20's in the '70's than my 70's in the '20's.
Good analogy
🙈👍😂
This video looks more mid 60s than 70s.
Way cool 😁
well said. and i would much rather have been 16 in anytime in the 20th century than 16 in the 21st.
Hard to top this DANCE tune! Go Chris! When women WERE women!
