Happening '68 was a rock-and-roll variety show produced by Dick Clark Productions, which aired on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) network.
Happening '68 premiered on January 6, 1968[1] and was popular enough that ABC added a weekday spin-off.
Their band Paul Revere and the Raiders made frequent appearances.
