In the latter portion of the summer of 1964, Dick Clark lured former teen idol Fabian to MC a leg of the Caravan of Stars. Fabian, now 21, had retired from performing to focus on a movie career. He did interviews to promote the tour and MC'd each show but he did not sing. The line-up of this leg of the tour, covering 36 cities, was similar to the previous shows, headlining Gene Pitney. However, this time around the Coasters, the Kasuals, and George McCannon are dropped from the tour. Added to the talent were the Premiers, the Jelly Beans, Bobby Freeman and the Liverpools.

The Supremes are erroneously listed as participant of the Caravan of Stars tour after August 6. Around August 6 they quit the tour while their song "Where Did Our Love Go" was climbing the charts. As poof of this, they are no more credited in the ads since the concert of August 7, at a moment they were very successful (they would have been top headliners if they still were touring with the Caravan of Stars !).

I was at the Dick Clark Caravan of the stars 11-19-1964, Muncie Indiana at the Muncie field house. Awesome show and one my most prized memories.
