September 5, 1960 – Bob Luman sings “Let’s Think About Loving” on “American Bandstand.” The song is an open critique of the teenage tragedy song and gunfighter ballad genre of the time, humorously quipping that if Marty Robbins, Patti Page, and the Everly Brothers actually died in the songs where they mention dying (“El Paso” and “Cathy’s Clown” in the first and last respective cases) that the singer will soon be the last surviving musician in the industry. #ROCkabillyHop #RocHop @DickClarkProd #DickClark #AmericanBandstand #BobLuman #LetsThinkAboutLoving #OTD
