Originally aired:

Teddy and the Pandas originally formed as a band called the Sensations in Beverly, Massachusetts in 1963. It consisted of Al Lawrence on vocals, Billy Corelle on bass, Ralph Cooper on drums, Joe Daly on guitar, and Dick Winters on Sax. Shortly thereafter, the group added Dick Guerrette on keyboards and guitarist William "Teddy" Dewart, while Winters moved on. In 1964, Jerry Labrecque replaced drummer Ralph Cooper, finalizing the line-up that was to become known as Teddy & the Pandas. Teddy & the Pandas recorded and released five singles from '66 - '68, as well as one LP. During their heyday, Teddy & the Pandas toured with the Beach Boys, the Dave Clark Five, the Lovin' Spoonful, and Paul Revere & The Raiders, and were also part of the Gene Pitney Tour in 1966. Excluding a handful of appearances on '80's compilation LPs, the music of Teddy & the Pandas has generally been unavailable since the group's disbanding in 1969. Bill Corelle will be interviewed by host Bob Dubrow.

Location: 88.1 FM
