Disc-O-Teen 1967 -Halloween Show- Gimme Some Lovin‘, The Spencer Davis Group

Taped: October 31, 1967

Happy Halloween…1967!

If you were a teenager in Newark, NJ in the mid 60’s you might remember Disc-O-Teen. The show was hosted by John Zacherle, the “cool ghoul”, and was broadcast on UHF channel 47 every weekday afternoon. John worked with Dick Clark in the 50’s and is one of the few people to ever guest host American Bandstand. Disc-O-Teen had little of the production values, strict dress code, produced segments or national attention of Bandstand, but it was popular in the New Jersey area (as far the UHF signal could reach) and attracted big name guests such as The Rascals, The Box Tops, and the Doors. When The Doors visited, Zacherle recalled, "Jim Morrison looked at our weird set and mumbled, 'This is the damnedest TV show I've ever seen.' “

For Halloween, today’s guests are Count Dracula, the Wolfman, Brute Force and Every Mothers’ Son (“Come On Down To My Boat”) promoting their new single “Pony With The Golden Mane”.

“Gimme Some Lovin’” (one of my all-time favorite songs) went to #7 back in February and is played today to celebrate the hits of ’67 for the show’s 2nd anniversary.
