Six Unforgettable Moments From American Bandstand
From 1952 to 1989, one television program was the apex of musical performances, dancing, and cultural events. Of course, we’re talking about ”American Bandstand!”
4. Its Got A Good Beat And You Can Dance To It
While most of the standout moments of Bandstand involve a special musical guest, the show also had it’s fair share of recurring bits. One in particular that we loved was Rate-a-Record. Clark would interview a few of the teenagers from the audience about a new track, asking for their opinions (and a rating on a scale of 35 to 98). If you’ve seen even one segment of Rate-a-Record, chances are you heard the phrase, “Its got a good beat and you can dance to it.” Check out the following clip where the teens rate “You’re Gonna Make Me,” by The Wordd.
