But The Gazzarri Dancers were gettin it! Those girls were some of the best Go Go dancers on television in those days. They had the Shindig and Hullabaloo dancers beat by miles! LOL!!!

Nice post, Marv. Thanks. I know many people think Marvin couldn't dance at all but I always thought he did just fine. He was always enthusiastic and seemed to enjoy dancing, so that made it worth seeing him do it. Perhaps he danced a little too much like one of the Shindig/Hullabaloo dancers and people were expecting something more subdued and smooth from him but I still thought what he did was a lot of fun. Thanks again for posting this one that I hadn't seen before.

In '62 he was still fresh but two years later his act became more experienced, as we can see on his Shindig appearance. And it's really live ! [[I don't like lip-synching).

Marvin was a great mover imho. I wouldn't call it dancing. Just a great mover. He had his own little step. He was workin' it during the Got to Give It Up period though.
