After Davy Jones came [[Bobby Sherman]] and [[David Cassidy]], who held the title of Teen Idols from the late 1960s until the mid-1970s. Both Sherman and Cassidy were [[actor]]s on television and chart topping musicians in the [[pop-rock]] category at the time; with [[David Cassidy]] in particular enjoying immense international fame and success. Sherman was on hit TV shows ''[[Shindig!]]'' and ''[[Here Come the Brides]]'' among many others. Musical series such as Cassidy's ''[[The Partridge Family]]'', the animated series ''[[The Archie Show]]'', and (to a lesser extent) ''[[The Brady Bunch]]'' integrated television and teen-[[pop music]] to significant success during this time frame. The Brady Bunch's [[Barry Williams (actor)|Barry Williams]] and [[Christopher Knight (actor)|Christopher Knight]], as was tennis pro/actor [[Vincent Van Patten]] all were constantly in the fan magazines at the time. Popular actors such as [[John Moulder Brown]], [[Leonard Whiting]], [[Ray Lovelock (actor)|Ray Lovelock]] (Raymond Lovelock), [[Leif Garrett]], [[Mark Hamill]], [[Mark Lester]], [[Jan-Michael Vincent]] and [[Jack Wild]] were the talk of the teenagers in the 1970s as well. Musical group the [[Hudson Brothers]] were on many teen magazine covers for a number of years as teen idols. They had two shows on TV during the 1970s and recorded many albums.

One of the features of many teen idols is that their fans (and, in some cases, the musicians themselves) tended to develop a hate for the music once they became adults, and it is not much listened to by adults, except for nostalgia: the legacy of [[bubblegum pop]]. Teen idol performers in this category would include [[Shaun Cassidy]], [[Leif Garrett]], [[the Osmond Brothers]] (particularly [[Donny Osmond]] and their teen idol sister [[Marie Osmond]]),<ref name=":0" /> [[Andy Gibb]], [[Tony DeFranco]] of the Canadian band [[the DeFranco Family]], and [[the Bay City Rollers]] (UK). Even modern [[classic hits]] and [[oldies]] outlets, which cover this time period, rarely play cuts from the teen idols of the era. A notable exception is [[Michael Jackson]] of [[the Jackson Five]], who began his career as a teen idol along with his brothers, but whose individual career eventually evolved far beyond the limitations of that description and into superstardom.

The Jackson Five were the first African-American music group to become national teen idols,<ref>{{cite book|last1=Mansour|first1=David|title=From Abba to Zoom: A Pop Culture Encyclopedia of the Late 20th Century|date=2011|isbn=9780740793073|page=241|publisher=Andrews McMeel |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7GN0E_diWbAC&pg=PA241}}</ref> appearing along with famous white idols in magazines such as ''16'' and ''Tiger Beat''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Teen Magazines, 1973|url=http://www.stuckinthe70s.com/1973mags.htm|website=Stuck in the 70s|access-date=29 December 2014}}</ref> In addition, the charismatic appeal, showmanship and flurry of fans towards lead [[Michael Jackson]] made him a teen idol and heartthrob amongst teens; his success as a soloist continued into the 1980s and early 1990s.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|last=Cross|first=Alan|date=November 22, 2017|title=With David Cassidy gone, let's look back at the teen idol era|url=https://globalnews.ca/news/3874767/teen-idols-david-cassidy/|access-date=3 November 2019|website=[[Global News]]|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thejacksons.com/history/the-jackson-5-1970/|title=The Jacksons: A History|website=The Jacksons.com|language=en|access-date=3 November 2019|archive-date=26 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230726211742/https://www.thejacksons.com/history/the-jackson-5-1970/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
