Doug Chappell (bass player Richie Knight and the Mid-Knights) : The band's two biggest shows were at Maple Leaf Gardens, the first was in 1963 while Charlena was still on the CHUM chart, and the station presented a Dick Clark Caravan of Stars show at the Gardens. We were not only the only Canadian act on the bill but we had the record that was highest on the chart at the time.
When we played Maple Leaf Gardens on the Dick Clark Cavalcade of Stars show on July 19, 1963 we were still babies in the business. It was quite a shock to hear Dick Clark reaming someone out using a string of profanities that we couldn't fathom the baby faced icon of the teen world knowing let alone using.
