1963.....#4 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #16 UK Singles Chart
Original video edited and AI remastered with HQ stereo sound.
"Pipeline" is a surf rock instrumental by The Chantays (credited as "Chantay's"), which was recorded in July 1962.
The tune, originally called "Liberty's Whip" after The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, was renamed after the band members saw a surfing movie showing scenes of the Banzai Pipeline in Hawaii. The tune, fitting in with the popular surfing craze of the time, swiftly rose up the Billboard Pop charts, reaching #4, and becoming a classic hit of its time. The tune is notable for using Alberti bass arpeggios.
Although they had myriad surf tunes, "Pipeline" was The Chantays' only hit single, and is considered one of the landmarks of the surf genre. The track's distinctive sound was largely due to the mix being "upside down" when compared to standard rock and roll of the era; the bass guitar, electric piano and rhythm guitar were at the forefront, while the lead guitar and drums were less prominent. Although the 45-rpm was released only in monaural, the track was recorded in wide stereo, with the rhythm guitar hard left, the bass and drums hard right, and the electric piano and lead guitar centered. Modern reissues, beginning with the 1980 MCA Records 7" single, are stereophonic.
The single was originally released in December 1962 on the label Downey, and was picked up for nationwide distribution by Dot Records as Dot 15-16440 in January 1963. Both releases spelled the band name as Chantay's.

Amazing music. Bear in mind, it's 1963. The folks in the orchestra behind the band ought to be out of their mind seeing this for the first time.

On Lawrence Welk's show! Lol! (I can just hear him introduce them, "Nice-a boys-a...!")

As usual, Sammy, you've given us pure heaven! The stereo track is golden and the terrific video (I don't know where in the world you found it) just makes the whole thing complete.

Got to love it. Their guitars aren't even plugged in! At least make it look like you're actually playing!

Can you do "Born To Run" by Bruce Springsteen? There is a live performance on YouTube which would be good dubbed with the studio version.
