I have never seen them play before.

Hmmm... so you forgot to set your DVR to record the show in 1963?

I'm not sure...  we used to watch Lawrence Welk...  so I may have seen that show.  1963 was a loooong time ago.  I don't recall seeing that either, but that doesn't mean I didn't see the show.

We teenagers used to laugh when Lawrence Welk used to bring in occasional rock bands or have his orchestra occasionally play it.  It just didn't fit with his show, which was a really big hit with my parents' generation.  The Lennon Sisters were young and fit in with his show, though.

I had to look this up!  Also, I thought this was a Dick Dale song!

FTR, it is the Fleetwood Mac Bob Welch who is more famous, for songs like Sentimental Lady, etc. AFAICT, the one from this group stayed in obscurity. :(

 

Beautiful version

 

Welch version ( not a member of Fleetwood Mac )

I worked in a factory back in the sixties with a guy my age that moonlighted as a radio disc jockey.. He had people call in requests and I called in pipeline. I was expecting the Ventures and he introduced the song by the Chantay’s. I asked him at work the next day about it and he said it was their song, the Ventures version was a cover.

Excellent!  She was breathtaking, to say the least.  

I know people gloss over these YouTube videos and many times don't even bother, but I highly recommend you view this one.  A nice song and a homage to one of the greatest stars of the 20th century cinema.  :)

The moves the group made for the song were even cornball for LW show.

Unpossible. :D I think I have said many times here that my paternal grandmother always called it Lloyd Weltz. :D  That never fails to crack me up. :D  She was good at malapropisms.  She call out dog Snoopy Stuke.  :D
