Dancers


Supposedly Teri Garr and Toni Basil are 2 of the dancers in this. Toni Basis is credited with being the assistant choreographer. If Teri Garr was the blonde with the shaggy hair, she was incredibly beautiful then (and later too). They all looked like they were having a blast - and who wouldn't dancing behind The Beach Boys, The Miracles, et al.

I just watched it on PBS. Is Teri Garr the one with the bullseye on her chest?

reply

I hadn't seen the credits but thought of Teri Garr. You really can't see faces the dancers are too far away but there is one that looked like it could be her.

The girl with the target on her chest looked much older than the 17yo Garr would be. But maybe it was the dark eyes and makeup? If I had to guess I'd say it was her. The best chance to see her was in the Supremes segment where the dancers are close in back of them.

Phil Specter is in the credits but I don't remember seeing him?

I'm more curious about the dancers than the artists. With all that energy I can see why people were in better shape back in the day.

Watch during Marvin Gaye's song Hitch Hike..Teri Garr is NOT the girl with the bull's eye target t shirt (that girl has a long ponytail and looks much older)..you can see Teri dance across the screen at 35:18. Later during the Supremes numbers it looks like the Teri and the Bull's eye girl have exchanged tops

I saw a YouTube compilation of Teri Garr in the T.A.M.I. Show:

I think I see her in the bullseye shirt, and I guess she's also in a striped shirt in other clips. It's not easy to tell. I've seen her as a dancer in the Elvis movie "Kissin' Cousins" and she's a bit easier to spot there.
