On February 11, 1967, The Mojo Men appeared on American Bandstand.

They might have been on American Bandstand on October 23, 1965, too, but I can't be sure.

Or maybe they were on American Bandstand in 1965, but not in 1967. Someone's got some 'splainin' to do. I have to favor 1967.

Okay, I'm a little late, but I didn't find this page until about an hour ago. The appearance in 1967 happened on the 25th show of the tenth season.

IMDb says that the October 23, 1965, appearance was the only appearance of The Mojo Men on American Bandstand. Metacritic does not agree. It says that Jackie Deshannon and The Spokesmen were the musical guests on that episode.

Beats me. Anybody?

The song was a hit for them in 1967, so here they are from American Bandstand in 1967. If you've never heard this version of the song before, you are in for a treat.
