ON THE FLIP SIDE - Rick Nelson, Joanie Sommers 12-7-66

The only original Bacharach / David musical written for television. Songs were lip-synched, so stereo tracks were incorporated into this version. Rick was in transition from teen idol to adult artist. Though not successful as a whole, it's still fascinating as a musical video artifact from over 40 years ago!

Your effort to incorporate stereo versions in this program ruins it completely. Leave the damm clip alone and STOP trying to improve it.

Hard to believe this show was in the 60s. My sister Dani and Midge loved this music a lot. Wished she had seen it on the internet she would have been so happy to see it again. I wish I could see the entire show - Great

Music -never grows old.. Love Ricky singing "Yesterday Heroes"

So many things to love! The plexiglas instruments. The plastic clothes. The choreography that looks like they're beating each other up. Ricky's enormous apartment. Rick and Joanie's vocal here are stellar!
