Airdate: September 28, 1963

The kids dance to another great, rarely played soul ballad on the "Ronettes - Be My Baby" episode.

Garnet Mimms’ biggest hit, "Cry Baby", is at #9 today on the Billboard Hot 100 today and will peak at #4 in 2 weeks. Which version do you prefer, Garnet’s original or Janis Joplin’s cover?

Sandra Short was a popular dancer in the final year of the show’s run in Philadelphia and was featured often in “16” magazine's regular Bandstand section.
