American Bandstand – December 12, 1964 - FULL EPISODE – Neil Sedaka, Freddy Cannon

“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” premiers on NBC, Martin Luther King Jr. receives The Nobel Peace Prize, Desilu Productions begins filming the pilot for a new science fiction series called “Star Trek”, the “Beatles For Sale” album is released, Sam Cooke is shot and killed, and “Goldfinger” premiers in the United States…..it’s December 1964!

It’s another “all-time hits show today” as the kids in Hollywood do the “the jerk” to just about everything. The show has been in Hollywood for nearly a year now and a few of the best-known 60’s “regulars” are starting to pop up. Don Sanuskar, Frank Vanderpuil and Peggy Waggoner are only a few months away from making their respective debuts in 1965.

4. Come See About Me, The Supremes
5. I Feel Fine, The Beatles
