Action 73 Heartbeat It s A Love Beat, The De Franco Family Featuring Tony De Franco

Airdate: October 27, 1973 Once a month, in the 7374 season of American Bandstand, Dick Clark would do an outdoor special called Action which replaced that weeks episode of Bandstand. Action 73, 74 was taped on the beaches near Malibu and Leo Carillo, CA. This episode aired nearly 3 months before the DeFrancos appearance on Jack Bennys 2nd Farewell Special (January 24, 1974) shown elsewhere on YT. Heartbeat is at, 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 today and will peak at, 3 in 3 weeks. The DeFranco family were discovered by the editor of Tiger Beat magazine while living in Welland, Ontario, Canada. If you were a fan of Donny Osmond and, or Tony DeFranco and read Tiger Beat in 1973, you were in luck. Both teen idols were on the cover every month from May through the end of the year. Aboot 35 years later another teenager from Ontario made it big in the U. S. Justin Bieber from Stratford. Brought to you by jthyme7940 Thank you Gary Thank you for watching a
