OBTW > Joey Heatherton looking grrrrl @:59 is too hot fur words!

[salinagrrrl69]

I came here to refind 'Teen Beat' as I first heard it on a standard commercial 50's comp albumn common after the release of 'American Graffiti' circa 1973? I love this film above but this is similar too but not the version I heard on that K-Tel(?) comp albumn my sis had back then. OBTW- FYI Afflack Duck = K-Tel Records - same people.

Great Video and drums thanks for posting - Sandy Nelson rules the cool beat - 5 stars

[MrGreglaw]

Brilliant piece of music.

[billyb4223]

Try the British transport film 'snow' made in 1963, that has some fabulous music, extremely closely related to this.

[Robertpiser]

Thanks tex6671; I appreciate that.

This Is One Of The Best Videos I have Ever Seen. All The Dancers Are In Perfect Sy nc. I Am 71 Years Old And I Was Doing That Dance In 1960. I Play This Video At Least !0 Times Every Day.

[Robertpiser]

I know... the name of the video is "Teen Beat".

[eldorado62]

Sorry. This isen't 'Teen Beat'. This is 'Let There Be Drums' from 1960

[TheTubeater]

@eldorado62

Sorry, Tis is teenbeat, this was the B-side of Let there be drums on "golden treasure" label if I remember well.

[HalfFastChevy]

@TheTubeater Sorry tubeater - I've been a Sandy Nelson fan since 1959 - this is "Let There Be Drums"

[TheTubeater]

@HalfFastChevy you're right sorry, I just confused both !! Teenbeat is on youtube too !

[HalfFastChevy]

Yeah wesstex, and she still is - for a woman her age, it is unbelievable how good she looks. Great video

[jfrenchmusic]

This is the guy that got me started. John French ( aka "Drumbo")

[TheNeocatZone]

This is one groovin' beat, daddio!

[wesstex]

The blonde at 60 seconds is Joey Heatherton, she was so hot she could melt steel.

[dukerattler]

ow ow.... very nice!

[djgambitron]

there are so many versions out there of "let there be drums" & "teen beat" apparently. this is the second one i've heard that doesn't sound like the ones on rhino

[moderatrix]

I love Sandy Nelson - he is the end all of great drummers! What an artist.

[genemz5]

Jkrotondo... Its not more than one drummer. Sandy Nelson played his drums straight through with some echo. Good drumming will do that. He was the king of his genre. Most other drummers sounded one dimensional in comparison. It was a combination of great acoustics where he recorded, and tasteful drumming. Of course, the musicians with him had just the right touch. I'm a drummer. Studied Sandy N. for years. With him, less was more. You think you are hearing more than there was. Art.

[genemz5]

I remember those days well. The sweat emanating from the dance floor gave the room a sweet smell.

[fforest122]

Very nice job on the video.

[BlondeSusieQ]

This is a great video you`ve put with the track, I can`t stop watching it!

[Robertpiser]

Thanks, I appreciate it.

[cosmikron]

Great Mix ! thanks,

More than one drummer? uh, me thinks Les Paul had invented multi-track recording with delay and echo by this time and Sandy was well aware of this. Duane Eddy accomplished his echo/reverb effect by recording in an empty grain elevator and Link Ray's unique sound on Rumble was accomplished with a ripped speaker. I guess we might call this true analog sound manipulation. Today, engineers rather than musicians ultimately determine what our music sounds like.

[barnfresh60]

this is great,and to see the teenager,s just having fun etc,back then when things were real and meant something,sure would like to see this type of atmosphere today at Venue,s,but thats not going to happen.

A great time and era!!!

[ELGROOVER]

This was the very first song I really noticed and it blew me away. Amazing then, still good now! A busting beat . . . . nice footage too, thanks Robert ☺

[avisualfeel]

...And the beat goes on...stay with the rhythmn...
