I was on YouTube just a few minutes ago,looking for some vintage early to mid 70's concert/tv clips from the Isley Brothers and Kool & The Gang,and neither group had any clips from that time period I noticed recently a old tv clip for the O'Jay's "For The Love Of Money" and a appearence of Herbie Hancock from SNL were taken down..There's still lot's of good clips on YouTube,but how long will it be before ALL the good shit is gone.By the way,did anyone watch the rerun of SOUL TRAIN today on WGN?Classic Chaka Khan and Billy Preston performancesI'm glad they showed something from the early 70's today,because lately it's been re-runs of the souless,unfunky disco era 77-78

    There WAS one guy who was posting classic sixties[/b] R&B TV clips on Youtube, but apparently they were unauthorized, since he has all but disappeared now.

    Chaka & Billy, huh? I'm guessing it was from around '74-'75...these WGN reruns don't seem to go any earlier...

    lately it's been re-runs of the souless,unfunky disco era 77-78

    I do love Barbara Lewis, too, though.

    "Hello Stranger" is like the greatest song ever.

    Nice poster, Er*c. She'll probably put on a great show.


    Some of the best YT clips I've found lately are by Evie Sands:



    The trick is finding "live" singing. That's what makes this one so good,
    like !!!The Beat!!! clips.
