I didn't have the patience to listen to the entire performance...so I went to Wikipedia for a synopsis:

The past really is another country. Thanks.

The Beach Boy singing Little Deuce Coupe and Jan (Dean?) sound similar. I wonder if this is a particular SoCal accent of the period or just a style of singing.

Attention all Jan and Dean fans.

Teenage Awards Music International - T.A.M.I. Concert Show - Santa Monica, California - 1964



In 1964 Jan and Dean were the host of a music concert, filmed live for broadcast to movie theaters across the USA.

The T.A.M.I. Concert Show was recorded using a high-resolution technique to fully capture on film some of the top musical performers of 1964 singing at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium to a live audience.

Jan and Dean not only hosted the concert, they performed the show's theme song!

YouTube still has many posts of the T.A.M.I. Concert available and please browse through them as you please. This is an amazing film from an amazing moment in music history. The Beatles had just appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show" a few weeks earlier and the stage was set for what has turned out to be one of the most dynamic periods in popular music.

All captured on film, for all time.

Tab Hunter, oh my! I only know him from this forum, but he was so sexy in those pics. Now I think of it, Ricky Nelson's eyes in black and white are the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen.
