Original Note:
Frankie Lymon was famous as a black member of The Teenagers years before this performance. The audience was not learning he was black here. They were told not to dance by ABC due to another show, "The Big Beat", being cancelled when a white girl danced with Lymon before. https://www.reddit.com/r/WatchPeopleDieInside/comments/101ecx8/comment/j2n7vhq/?context=3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankie_Lymon
