Remember seeing them on Rock Concert, or some other late TV of the time. Chaka was pretty bump and grindin' as I remember.

Tell me something good, why can't we be friends, let 'em in. You could almost construct a dialogue with the song titles so far.

martin luther, phil & don, paul & linda. I don't hate this as much as some do, but it's pretty lightweight. Give me Billy Paul's cover any day.

I didn't know Uncle Ernie was anti-gin. He was pretty much smashed most of the time.

What was the show that was on NBC after the Carson show on Friday nights? (I recall seeing the Starland Vocal Band a lot on there circa '76. Also Janis Ian the year previous.) I seem to remember seeing them on there.

Pablo Cruise twice in one week.

Do you mean Don Kirschner's show? It was on Kirschner that I first saw Rush.

He spent too much time at Tommy's Holiday Camp.

ABC had "In Concert", which was on opposite Carson on Friday nite.
NBC had "Midnight Special" which came on after Carson on Friday (and was much more pop-hit-oriented).
"Don Kirschner's Rock Concert" was syndicated --and Kirschner was wickedly parodied by Paul Shaffer on SNL.

I don't know if Kirschner had anything to do with this or not. It definitely wasn't Don Kirschner's Rock Concert--that was ABC. This was done on a soundstage with a fairly small audience (under 75, certainly), and they had big neon letters that they'd use to spell out the name of the given band behind them on the stage. I think Don Kirschner's thing filmed actual concerts in real venues.
ETA: Mike got it--Midnight Special was the one I was thinking of. Monday morning brainfade.

"My Katrona"!

Juice N, layin' out another line, thinkin' 'bout a life of crime.
A minor highlight of a rather dull VT.
She actually performed this at some Nancy Reagan "Just Say No" gathering, which I thought was pretty hilarious.
-
Is Queen of Hearts 81 or 82? If it's the former, I really hope we don't hear Rosanna for 82.
Whew!!! Although this Steve Miller tune isn't a lot better.

That's how I'm feeling too. Every once in a while these VT's just leave me cold. Stevie Miller isn't doing it for me with "Abracadabra" either.

Lyrics were never his strong suit, but jeez.

This is the lowest of the low, but it did sound like he said "black panties with an angel's face". I'm getting an interesting visual on that.

Hi Dave, I don't have a comment on the music, though I agree Steve Miller has done a lot better. But I just noticed that your last posting was 555 -- how palindromic and symmetrical of you. :)

To put it mildly. Dude had a number of huge hits tho, so somebody must not have minded.
Eeeeewwww, ending with the Goat. Ick.

indeed, I always wondered whether it was an angel-faced girl waering black panites, or if the panties had an angel's face on the crotch.
Yikes, the Goat takes us home. Baaa-aaa-aaa!

anybody who can't figure out it's a VT by now...

Well, there are 10 other VT's in my Db (beginning year listed only, for brevity): 1965, 1970 (x2), 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1980 (x2), and 1982, and in my judgment, today's set was less interesting than any of them. For example the other set that began with '73 kicked off with Marvin's "Let's Get It On", which woulda been BOS today with ease.
Just by way of comparison, one of the sets that went 1970-79 came on an Aug 20, and the years that overlapped with today (73-79) had the following entries:
Stories - Brother Louie
Rufus - Tell Me Something Good
K.C. & the Sunshine Band - Get Down Tonight
Bee Gees - You Should Be Dancin'
Commodores - Easy
Foreigner - Hot Blooded
Knack - My Sharona
-
I know the quiz answer w/o the mulitple choices, Sharona today is a realtor, and from what I heard, a very wealthy one, down in Orange County. I phoned in and got a ring, but Annalisa never picked up, so an earlier caller must have had the answer.

Is that really the line? I never caught it as a coke ref!
PS: I would love to have those Midnight Special neon letters as a font.

Speaking of Midnight Special. If anyone ever liked the show apparently there is a DVD set of some of the best of shows out right now.
On another note, count me in as another person who liked and still likes the Steve Miller song.
