The T.A.M.I. Show

The Teenage Awards Music International Show, kicking off with Jan & Dean skateboarding across town and singing "They're coming from all over the world," plus a classic shot of Diana Ross' lips that fills the entire screen...James Brown is stupendous; it can be argued that the Stones, who had to follow him, topped him with "It's All Over Now." Chuck Berry trades licks with Gerry & the Pacemakers, Leslie Gore sings her heart out. This is a stunning record of pop, 1965; every element of the music, from old rockers to British Beatles imitators to Motown is fully represented-at its best. --Music and the Movies, PFA '75
