The brunette behind and off Eddie Hodges left side looks out of place. She doesn't seem to be as graceful or move like the other dancers. Any thoughts on this this?

proud to say Eddie Hodges is my grandfather! Some people can dislike him all they want but he was a great singer, person, and is a great grandfather.

Why would anyone listen to this watered-down version instead of the U.S. Bonds version

Far from "not well known," Eddie Hodges made his mark in major stage musicals before he was ten and then racked up a string of hits between 1961 and 1965. The three best were "I'm Gonna Knock On Your Door," "(Girls Girls Girls) Made To Love" and this one from 1965. Sadly, Eddie's excellent version of "New Orleans" (a song introduced in 1960 by Gary U.S. Bonds) only reached #44 on the national hit parade.

No doubt about it, Eddie Hodges was a hallmark of consistency when it came to great records, dating all the way back to his tenure with the Cadence label. But given the all stat cast on this particular episode of Hollywood A Go Go, it would be even better if the entire episode was posted on here. Turtles, Jackie And Gayle, Mel Carter, all great, great stuff!!!

Please put " Let's Go Go by Eddie Hodges music video back up. It's so great to watch cause Eddie is holding a weird thing that must be metal cuase when he taps it, it makes a light metallic sound if you listen quietly!"

Unfortunaly, we never thought on pictures but I remenber well the GO GO Dancers. Before the take, DeAnn (the tall blonde) Judd and Andrea (the two dancers dancing behind Eddie) cheering the crowd to put a good show. That was great! Also, if you can see the couple on 3:50, you will see us there (my sister with the white dress and me on the suit)
KEEP ROCKING, BRO'.
thanks for the posting... Eddie always knew how to rock the house... I remember this taping very well since I was there, dancing with my sister on the show...
