The T.A.M.I. Show (1964) — (Movie Clip) Surfin’ U.S.A.

Jan & Dean mastering ceremonies toss to their friends, The Beach Boys, with co-composers Brian Wilson and Mike Love out front (with their lyric fused to Chuck Berry’s Sweet Little Sixteen music) with a performance striking for its musicianship even in the rarified climate of the historic October, 1964 Santa Monica concert, in The T.A.M.I. Show, 1964.

The truly teenage (18) Lesley Gore wraps her six song set with a quick medley of her two best-known hits, really a finalè for the first segment of the show, notable for the other acts taking a bow, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Chuck Berry, Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye, before Lesley’s handoff back to hosts Jan & Dean, in The T.A.M.I. Show, 1964.
