Oh come on! That's quintessential mid-60s hair! I loved it.

I love the Vandellas choreography especially at the beginning ...so cool! Are there any Vandellas actually singing on the recording ? Great stuff Marv!
Thanks PMG. I guess I should have said other than Martha!
Cheating, I know, as this isn't from American Bandstand, but it is superb, and there definately are ONLY Vandellas in the background - it's really live! Not lip-synch. And the band is jazz....

Wow! Impressive performance, Sharpmoves! The girls' vocal delivery couldn't be better! [[I'm wondering why they were in street clothes for the Mike Douglas show. If memory serves, they were usually in gowns for their other Mike Douglas performances.)
Sorry, I accidently duplicated my post.
Thanks, Reese! I love that! And Martha looked especially attractive in this performance! In her facial close-ups, I don't think I've ever seen her look prettier than she does here.
I very much remember this appearance as it aired right after my birthday that year:

Kim Weston. I don't know why the cut the song off

You know, Marv, in all these years [[other than the Motortown Revue Vol. 2 album in which Kim Weston introduces The Andantes live on stage with her before performing "Just Loving You"), I've never seen/heard her talk. That was a treat! Who knows why the original poster didn't include "A Thrill A Moment" in this video. I would have loved to see her perform [[lip sync) it. [[With all due respect, what was with the Elvis Presley-like sneer? Did Kim always do that)
American Bandstand 1968 – Chained, Marvin GayeOctober 15, 1968

Great one, Marv! Marvin's "Chained" and "You" are two of my favorites from his late-'70s Motown repertoire. Although the former was produced by Frank Wilson and the latter by Ivy Jo Hunter, "Chained" always sounded like a Norman Whitfield production to me, and "You" sounded like H-D-H. Either way, great stuff!
Here is a thread we had exactly on that period of Marvin's career:

I love those old black&white Bandstand videos, Marv! You're probably too young to remember, but my fondest memories of watching Bandstand was in the early '60s when they were still broadcasting in Philly. I can still see Darlene Love in an early-summer '63 episode lip-syncing "[[Today I Met) The Boy I'm Gonna Marry" and, in August '63, the introduction of the very first performance of The Ronettes lip-syncing "Be My Baby". Those were the days!
Thank you for saying that Gary, but yes I remember watching Bandstand from Philly also. It came on during the week and of course I remember watching it during the time of this last clip. We watched in black and white because we had not gotten a color TV yet. They began broadcasting in color in late 1967.
It was in daily for awhile. Loved it!! Remember rate a record??
