Seems like
every town had its TV dance party show. "Seventeen" was broadcast on
WOI-TV, Ames Iowa. The few clips that have surfaced on YouTube are fabulous, a
black and white Ichiban world of neatly-dressed teens with superb haircuts
dancing the jive to the latest songs ! In some cases, soundtracks were deleted from the clips
for rights issues ; others have been restored. Here are a few of my faves :
Buddy Knox - Swingin' Daddy (Top Tune 17 !)
Chuck Willis - Betty and Dupree (the stroll !)
full episode, songs removed (boooooo !!!)
note :
bubble gum blowing contest at 11:20
[ed. note : I mentioned this before on the Ichiban FB page ; appearance of a new clip on YouTube (Buddy Knox) prompted me to create a blog post.]
