For Those Who Think Young (1964)

Ok, I didn't find the trailer but here is the most 

famous scene from this flick

The classic Surf's Up call followed by the disturbing ceremony
of a surfing sect around a scary singing beard!
Or just kids having a funny way to go surfing
Ho Daddy! - Bob Denver

College hijinks, surfin', nightclubs and gettin' laid? College kids hang out at the Silver Palms Club everyday after school. Because things can get quite raucous in the club, grandpa wants to shut it down. When the kids discover that grandpa used to be a bootlegger, they blackmail him into keeping it open. Cool rock and roll scene with Randy Nuart & Richard Delvy of the Challengers and Paul Johnson of the Bel-Airs! James Darren, Pamela Tiffin, Bob Denver, Tina Louise, Nancy Sinatra, Paul Lynde, Woody Woodbury, Ellen Burstyn, Susan Hart. For Those Who Think Young!

Fabulous!

Love how the guitarist spins around when the curtain goes down!

Lee Allen

Ray Singer & Simon Napier-Bell

The Marcels performing "Blue Moon" probably during the '80s

Their voices are not as crystal clear as in 1960, but they're

surely still great and loving what they do!

A nice collection of '60s Italian footage of Mal Ryder & The Primitives
performing an Italian version of The Young Rascals'
"I Ain't Gonna Eat My Heart Anymore" (twice),
"Gimme Some Lovin'" (originally by The Spencer Davis Group)
and "Pensiero d'Amore" simply credited to Mal
After facing the lack of success in England, The Primitives
hired singer Mal Ryder and relocated to Italia where they performed
as Mal Ryder & The Primitives and gathered impressive audience!

Billy Fury (far left) with Gene Vincent (third from left) and
Eddie Cochran (fifth from left)
I don't know who are the others

What's Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made A Loser Out Of Me)
- Jerry Lee Lewis
Quoting the man who posted the video in the first place :
"Filmed in Memphis at the Holiday Inn,
18. - 24. September 1969 for US-TV Show
The Many Sounds Of Jerry Lee"

 Brenda Holloway performing "When I'm Gone" on Shindig!
backed by The Blossoms
I broadcasted "When I'm Gone" more than a year ago before this
video was posted on YouTube, so I guess the time has come to
show the wonderful Brenda Holloway in all her glory!

Apparently there are some great '60s footage of Brenda Holloway
hidden on YouTube ; here is one of them

Brenda Holloway performing "Shake" still on Shindig! in 1965

Another gem

He's Comin' Home - Brenda Holloway
The guitar player is James Burton and the song was written
by The Zombies (1965)
Makes me want to broadcast more song by Brenda!

Ok, ok. We had a lot of fun, but now this is the real thing,
a pure magical musical moment!

The Kingsmen, Joe Tex, Brenda Holloway and Eddie Rambeau performing
"Do You Love Me" live on Shindig! on October 21, 1965
Go Joe Go!
This is exactly what Shindig! is all about!
You can rest peacefully now (or continue checking the other videos
and the following broadcasts of Dr. Freed!)

The Creation performing "I'm A Man" and
"That's How Strong My Love Is" in Offenbach, Germany in 1966
No he doesn't want your mike! Hilarious!
That was Kenny Pickett!
M-A-N, absolute classic!

The Creation performing "Try And Stop Me", "If I Stay Too Long"
and "Painter Man" in 1966 in Frankfurt, Germany
This was just after the departure of Kenny Pickett
In my opinion, the most underrated band of all time
Plus their guitarist Eddie Phillips is one of the greatest from the '60s
He virtually invented the "bow" thing!
