Musical Interlude: Candida (1973)

 In 1973, Dick Clark brought an American Bandstand primetime special to the fabled Hollywood Palace. ABC had ended the namesake variety series 3 years earlier, but couldn't resist giving it another try with "Rockin' The Palace". The comedy team of Skiles & Henderson were the hosts, and one of them intros this segment with Tony Orlando & Dawn revisiting their very first hit, "Candida", which was released, also, in 1970.


Talk about gratitude. Orlando & company would get a variety series of their own a year later-----on CBS.
