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!

Thanks to @TenderLovingKiller® for all the TV memories and everyone that spun music this month, this place is just a wonderful community where every day you can find your new favorite band and you don't even need to look that hard!! Bring on December!!

Thanks for participating. I appreciate your contributions. You really killed it!

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.



Absolutely fantastic month @TenderLovingKiller® !

4:00 PM ❼ ABC American Bandstand
Little Richard - Here’s Little Richard

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.

Looks like that video is blocked for me, so the issue is probably local. Thanks for posting though - US folks may want to see it.

It’s never a bad thing to watch Prince perform. I watched the whole thing.
