Dick Clark of American Bandstand

The success of “Teasin’” by Quaker City Boys was linked to a Dick Clark/Swan Records controversy because their hit was released on Swan Records, a label co-owned by Dick Clark (at the time). It became a focal point of the 1960 payola hearings. #DickClark #QuakerCityBoys #OneHitWondered

The week of January 26, 1959, Philadelphia string band The Quaker City Boys jumped onto the US #Billboard #Top40 chart with their swinging, ‘Mummified’ “Teasin” at #39… and then dropped the next week. The group was one of the first US #OneWeekWonder honorees, as well. #QuakerCityBoys #OneHitWondered
