Happening ’68 was co-hosted by Mark Lindsay and Paul Revere
with their band Paul Revere and the Raiders making frequent
appearances on the show.
Happening ’68 was a rock & roll variety series produced by Dick Clark
Productions, which aired on the ABC television network. The show
followed American Bandstand on Saturday afternoons. Happening ’68
was popular enough that ABC added a weekday spin-off. It’s Happening
ran on Mondays through Fridays from July 15, 1968 through October 25,
1968. When 1968 ended, Happening ’68 became just Happening, which
was canceled in October 1969.
