Eddie Rambeau

Just minutes before he was about to debut the latter song on American Bandstand, he was informed by deejay Dick Biondi that, due to a potential conflict of interest, he would have to perform the B side of the record instead.

Since Barris was employed by ABC at the time, and Bandstand aired on the same network, it was felt that Rambeau's performance of the song might create problems with the FCC.

In December 1962, "The Push and Kick", written by Rambeau with Frank Slay Jr. and Bud Rehak, became a Top 40 hit for Mark Valentino.

Later in the year, Crewe needed a fourth song for a recording session he had scheduled with a new female singer he had recently discovered, Diane Renay.

Coincidentally, a few years later Rambeau would appear in the Broadway production of Hair, the musical which spawned "Starshine" among other songs that went on to become hit records.

By the early 1970s, Rambeau had turned his attention to acting,[1] and in addition to Hair, he was also a cast member of Jesus Christ, Superstar, Heathen!, and Tubstrip.
