American Bandstand 1970 Baby Hold On, The Grass Roots
Airdate: May 16, 1970 Its the start of a new decade. Fashion, music, and social norms are changing at an alarming rate especially to the older generation, the President will soon face impeachment, the nation is sharply divided politically, and our soldiers have been fighting for years overseas in a war that appears to have no end in sight. Baby Hold On was not a big hit for The Grass Roots, but it looks like it would be fun to dance to as its got a good beat and wellyou know. The song just entered the Billboard charts last week and will peak at, 35 in 6 weeks. We see some of the 60s staples still dancing today including Frank Vanderpuil (on the tall riser at 0:42), Don Sanuskar Pat Dickinson (2:14), and Famous Hooks Theodosia Dayton (1:18). Also dancing today are fairly new regulars Andy Soto Charlotte Regalado (2:28)
