Motown Aug 17 68 Spotlight Dance — Jimmy Mack by Martha & The Vendellas + commercials • AB Anniversary 11

New AB clip — Aug 17 1968 American Bandstand Spotlight Dance segment with a throwback pick — 1966's Jimmy Mack by Martha & The Vendellas. The drop at the intro is pretty amazing. Songwriting masterpiece overall. AB regular Frank Vanderpull is featured on this clip tearing it up with a variety of moves.  

Plus full 1968 commercial break! And more throwback footage from the special Anniversary episode. Cool to see what was happening in '68. looking back to the late 50s & early 60s.

Bitchute version - original cut

From Songfacts — "recorded in 1964 but was shelved from release..  It was released as a single more than two years later right after the Vietnam War began.  This gave the song a different meaning to listeners, many of whom had loved ones being sent overseas.. written and produced by Motown's main creative team of Lamont Dozier and the brothers Brian and Eddie Holland." Special Mix.
