Today we feature the first hit from the Five Americans, a Dallas bar band. Every city had a local "Bandstand"-type TV program back then. Our video today comes from WFAA Channel 8 in the Metroplex on a show called "Sump'n Else," done in a glass fishbowl storefront at an upscale shopping center in North Dallas near the SMU campus. Videotape was expensive and was reused, so very few performances from that show survive today. A young Morgan Fairchild auditioned several times to be a dancer but she didn't make it. Their bass player later designed the logo for Chili's and their keyboardist wrote "Dark Lady" for Cher.
