Shindig! was a rock 'n' roll series that ran from September 16, 1964 through January 8, 1966 on the ABC network.

Shindig! was created and produced by Jack Good who had previously produced rock 'n' roll TV shows in his native Britain. There, he perfected his style of fast-paced rock music programing. In 1962, Good produced a pilot for American TV. The pilot, titled "Young America Swings the World," eventually became the blueprint for Shindig!

Most of the top American and British rock/pop acts of the mid-1960s appeared on Shindig!. The British performers often appeared in segments taped in the U.K.

Shindig! was different from previous U.S. rock 'n' roll programs. It featured non-stop music that, in most cases, was only interrupted by the commercial breaks.
Shindig! started a trend in television which could probably best be described as "rock 'n' roll...with go-go dancers."

Sam Cooke's appearance on the first Shindig show is made all the more poignant by the fact that less than three months later he would be shot to death in an L.A. motel under still unexplained circumstances. One of the all-time great voices, he is still greatly missed.

Possibly my fave Sam Cooke song...wow.

Sam Cooke is my hero!!!

Donna released a country version of this song as a single in 1984, a tad overproduced but still good. Too bad that she didn't keep at it, she had a great and versatile voice - too versatile perhaps, since she never found her niche. But she's happy doing fashion design by all accounts, can't blame her for leaving the music industry grind.

Donna Loren-what a powerhouse she was. From a petite, pretty, poised young lady comes that wall-shaking powerful voice! Waht a great version of Dusty Sprinfield's hit- the house band, as always is right in the pocket musically.
