American Bandstand 1966 if you are old enough to remember

[the watcher]

No America wasn't perfect, it may never be. My high school class of 1965 was mostly still gung ho, believed in Eisenhower and Kennedy and mostly not sure of why we were going into Asia but still willing. These young men and women dancing are trying to still be young but will be used to further corporate goals, and it will never be the same for them again. I hate to see the young people of today have to go through this.

I think you mean Don Cornelius. Don Pardo was an game show announcer on Jeopardy, Price is right etc. back in the day. We never saw him, he just said THIS IS JEOPARDY!!!

I was wrong, it's Don Cornelius.
With the deep voice. That Soul Train intro was awesome, though!
He was the man behind the whole thing, it was good!

Buddy Holly's, "That'll be the Day," was the first song heard on American Bandstand.

Buddy Holly's, "That'll be the Day," was the first song heard on American Bandstand.

Bandstand debut was 1957 and Holly was killed in a plane crash along with Richie Vallens and the Big Bopper in '59. "The day the music died"?
