What year did Huey Lewis appear on American Bandstand singing buzz buzz buzz?
Huey Lewis was a very famous and very good pop singer back in the early and mid-1980's. He must have sang this "buzz buzz" song in the mid-1980's-like 1984-or 1985.
None. No such thing happened, so the answer is in three parts. 1. Hairspray (the movie) is not a documentary. It is not even a Docu-Drama. It is a fictional performance that only vaguely resembles some things from the 1950's. 2. American Bandstand was not limited to "only white" dancers. 3. Any racist similarities between Hairspray (the movie) and the real events of the 1950's in the U.S. are lifted from events regarding the Buddy Deane Show. The Buddy Deane show was another 'dance-to-the-hits' show broadcast from Baltimore. That is the show that did not mingle Black and white dancers on the same dance floor. That is the show that had 'all-black' Fridays (taking into account that the show was a Daily show). When the Buddy Deane Show was pressured to integrate white and black dancers (like American Bandstand had already been doing), the show's powers-that-be refused and the show was subsequently cancelled.
Who was the the host of American Bandstand?
American Bandstand started as a local Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA show known only as Bandstand. As the Philadelphia area (only) show, it was hosted by Bob Horn from 1952 until mid 1956, when Mr. Horn was discharged. Tony Mammarella, the show's producer, temporarily filled in as host until they signed Dick Clark. Through the personal efforts of Dick Clark, the Network was persuaded to air the show nationally.
The show was renamed from "Bandstand" to "American Bandstand" in 1957, coincident with it becoming a nationally broadcast program. Dick Clark was the host at that time (1957) and remained the host until early 1989. The last six months of the show's long run was hosted by David Hirsch. The lights went off for good in late 1989 with David Hirsch at the helm.
