This Week's
"DEEP DIVE"

AMERICAN BANDSTAND

This weekend, Mark will feature
two hours of the best American music,
as you would have heard it on the show
during its 37 year run.
Dick Clark turned a local hosting gig
into a media empire over the years.

DON'T TAKE IT SO HARD - Mark opened the show with this Raider tune and told the story of performing it on Bandstand on July 13, 1968, one of many appearances that he and the band made on the show. That day, Mark and Paul also announced that they were the co-hosts of the new daily Dick Clark production It's Happening, which was premiering on ABC on July 15th.

The song is available on the out-of-print Raiders Complete Columbia Singles 3-CD set, available personally autographed to you HERE.

ELVIS - Mark opened the first set with
TEDDY BEAR, and explained that Elvis never appeared on AB, except via telephone from when he was in the Army and stationed in Germany. Dick called him three times in 1959/60 and broadcast the interview on the show.

THE BEACH BOYS - Mark closed the first set with DON'T WORRY BABY, performed on April 18, 1964, followed by an interview with Dick Clark.

FREDDY CANNON - Mark opened set three with WAY DOWN YONDER IN NEW ORLEANS, and noted that Freddy held the record for most appearances on AB - 110 of them! The song was originally recorded in 1922, but Freddy made it his own. Here's Freddy's version, and one by Dean Martin in 1955!

MERRILEE RUSH - In the third set, Mark played her fantastic version of REACH OUT, which she performed on AB on November 30, 1968.

THE SPINNERS - Mark played IT'S A SHAME to open the fourth set, which they performed on October 30, 1978. Here's an interview that Dick did with them following the song, followed by a FULL episode from April 26, 1980 where they did WORKIN' MY WAY BACK TO YOU.

JUST LIKE ME - Mark closed the fourth set with The Raiders and the song they performed (along with STEPPIN' OUT) on February 5, 1966...and yes, Mark DID find that contact lens - watch and see!

THE BUCKINGHAMS - Mark closed the final set with DON'T YOU CARE, which was featured on two of the May 1967 AB Top Ten lists. Here's a partial AB episode from May 27, 1967, where they perform MERCY, MERCY, MERCY and are interviewed by Dick Clark.

BEEN TOO LONG ON THE ROAD - Mark performed this David Gates-penned song on AB on July 24, 1971. It's on Mark's Complete Columbia Singles CD, available personally autographed to you, HERE.

Here's a review of the CD, with some trivia - THE SECOND DISC

Here's Mark, and then David (with Bread), with their two versions.
