4:00 PM ❼ ABC American Bandstand
Play an artist featured on American Bandstand (Bonus points if you include a clip).

Prince "Prince" (1979 Warner; 2016 reissue)
Prince made his big national stage debut on American Bandstand, playing I Wanna Be Your Lover and Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad. The actual performance seems to be absent from the web for copyrights reasons (there's a muted version on YT though). I'm adding a link to the interview portion of the performance.

Buddy Holly and The Crickets "The Buddy Holly Story" - look he's on the list and I have a clip marked American Bandstand so I'm going with it! It's the end of the month cut me some slack!!! I had to use one of my wife's records for this...ok I actually really like Buddy Holly might have a lot to do with having parents of a certain age that never gave up control of the radio on long car trips and having a "golden oldies" station... That's now sports talk radio...

AND
Curtis Mayfield "Roots" - the best!!! This is a really interesting back to back but I love it coming and going!! This has been an awesome month, I can't believe I made it to the end!!


The first one was too good not to share!

There really wasn't another album I could choose for today. Was never an American Bandstand watcher, but I sure loved watching Soul Train - in another life I would have wanted to be one of the Pips. I don't think they ever performed Midnight Train to Georgia (which is on this comp) on Soul Train, so going with another one of their performances instead.

It’s wild that shows like American Bandstand had been on TV for so long. Very few shows were dedicated the Popular Music of youth culture for 37 years.


4:00 PM ❾ WGN Soul Train
Stevie Wonder - Innervision

Soul Train was a black-centric take on American Bandstand’s basic premise though beyond being a home for black artists it also added an element of amazing dance moves to the mix, there was dancing on AB but it couldn’t hold a candle to the Soul Train Line.

Not sure if it’s available in Canada, but I found a copy of Prince’s performance here in the States…
