Just caught an episode of "Sanford and Son" where BB King guests. He played a fire live version of "How Blue Can You Get". Any other noteworthy appearances by musicians playing live on network comdies/dramas. I think Cosby had Nina Simone and Lena Horne on.

Episode list
120 episodes were produced between 1976 and 1980. The episodes are frequently given in varying orders, depending on when they were broadcast in certain markets. For example, the Juliet Prowse and Connie Stevens episodes were the first two produced, in 1976, but the Rita Moreno episode was (generally) the first episode to be broadcast in the USA. In the 2005 Season One DVD box set, Buena Vista Home Entertainment has placed the episodes in production order, not broadcast order.
