OT - "The 'In' Crowd"

While listening to a song (Petula Clark's "Downtown" from the 60's this morning during my spinning class it prompted me to do a search on the Internet today for my all-time #1 favorite song. It's "The 'In' Crowd" as performed & recorded by Dobie Gray. I saw the national debut of this song on the TV show "Hullabaloo" (hosted by Frankie Avalon & Annette Funicello) & knew it was circa 1965. What I didn't know is that I could find the original footage of the show & view it online. For those who'd like to take a trip down memory lane, here's a link to the video:

I also found another web site displaying a listing of the performers on the 02/16/1965 Hullabaloo show featuring Dobie Gray's debut of "The 'In' Crowd". Here are the other artists who appeared on that golden night.

Downtown was my absolute favortie song . You're showing your age Dennis. lol Don't worry, I'm not far behind you.

Ever notice that today's commercials have "OUR" music in them. We had such good music. Most of the kids music today is awful. Can't stand it.

Re: Here's "Downtown"

Would you believe I have hung onto her album "These are my Songs"? I played it over and over again in the "60's. My favorite of Pet Clark's is "This is my Song". I still love it.
