American Bandstand 1967 - Standing in the Shadows of Love, Four Tops

Күн бұрын

Airdate: January 14, 1967
“Standing in the Shadows of Love”, the follow-up to the 1966 #1 hit “Reach Out I’ll Be There”, is at #7 this week and will peak at #6 next week. The Four Tops (one of my all-time favorites) made Four appearances on Bandstand in April ’65, Nov. ’66, Oct. ’76, and Jan. ’82.
Regulars spotted today: Pat Moriarity, Jeff Stein, (0:39), Don Sanuskar (0:51), Daniel Campos (1:00), June Strode (1:24), Leonard Smith (with June Strode at 1:55), Mike Klein & Lori Montgomery (2:04), Famous Hooks (2:45), Marcia Silverman (2:50), and Maureen Cohen (2:58).
….And tomorrow, Jan. 15, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (only 9 miles south of where AB was taped today) will be the very first AFL-NFL World Championship game. The Green Bay Packers will go on to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs in what will later be known as Super Bowl I.

Excellent... I'm most impressed with the album that this was released from, "Reach Out" because 6 songs were released and all went top 20, including this track, the previous hit, "Reach Out..", "Bernadette", "7 Rooms of Gloom", "Walk Away Renee"(previously a hit for The Left Banke) and "If I Were a Carpenter"(previously a final top ten hit for Bobby Darin).

Angelique the LP "Reach Out" was the last album by the Four Tops released on the Motown label to be produced by H-D-H...and the Tops most successful LP release. To this day I still amp up the volume to these H-D-H productions. Fresh as ever background vocals by The Andantes and instrumentals by the incomparable Funk Brothers.

It's a shame that The Andantes didn't get enough recognition because of the vocals that they brought to many recordings but I'm glad that I can read about them. The Funk Brothers.. I'll have to see the movie that was made about them because they are incomparable!

They still do. There was a particularly strong dress & behaviour code on this show . Also they had to be accompanied by a parent. Guys had to wear suits or similar . The code is shown on the tickets . No I go into the city on Saturday nights, and there are very well dressed people of both sexes at popular pubs. Teenagers fundamentally have not changed . My daughter behaved dry much as we did. Tattoos I do not understand but people have had them for decades.

Way down South here in NZ, I liked the Four Tops, but knew so little about them, didn't even know they were black, not that I'd have cared, just saying how little info there was with no TV of this, no internet, I guess there were LP cover's but I didn't buy an LP until maybe 1969.
