Had to happen: tonite's Classic ST is the infamous Elton John episode from 1975.   But first Mandrill came out to play -- find them on YouTube if you don't know them; sort of an Afro-Cuban Tower of Power (from Brooklyn!).

And here's ol' Reg himself, doing "Philadelphia Freedom" - a "new song" sez Don Cornelius, which dates this somewhere around March '75.

Tonight (Wed 5/12) 10pm on KQED-Ch 9 on "American Masters" its the new documentary on The Doors "When You're Strange" narrated by Johnny Depp.  It should be shown a couple times this week, check your local PBS listings.

It's underwhelming.  I did pay the more-than-10 bucks.   :-\

A 1982 Soul Train with Taste of Honey doing their lovely Smokey cover, "I'll Try Something New" and Jeffrey Osborne plugging his first solo LP with "I Really Don't Need No Light (to See Thru You)", which deserved better than its #39 Pop peak.

An early-1975 Soul Train, with the Dramatics, Barbara Mason, and a "Supernatural" Ben E King. I may break out in little bitty green spots. But the highlight was the Scramble Board: it took an awfully long time for the 2 contestants to realize there's no such person as GALDS KNIGHTY.

Da whole funk, nuthin' but da funk: an early '78 Soul Train ep has everybody dancin' to "One Nation Under a Groove". Then a long-before-stardom Atlantic Starr do their first charted single, "Stand Up" and Freda Payne really NEEDS two Tylenol , since she's (badly) lip-synching one of her failed-disco-comeback-attempt singles.

ETA: didn't catch the name of the first Freda Payne tune (completely generic) but OMG here she is doing a discofied "Happy Days Are Here Again" that sounds likes she's fronting the Wing & a Prayer Fife & Drum Corps. Yeesh.

Watching a Miami Vice rerun on Centric ... just my luck, it's the episode that introduced us to Glenn Frey's "You Belong to the City". But it does have a young and foxy Pam Grier.

A Fall-of-1976 Soul Train Classic with Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis too, doing "You Don't Have to Be a Tar Baby" as well as its less-successful predecessor, "I Hope We Get To Love In Time."  And Deniece Williams does "Free", looking rather slim compared to her chunky '80s incarnation.

DUUUUUDE! Green Day rocks the Tony Awards.  And Memphis looks like a pretty cool show too. But I'm still trying to figure out what "Up the Ladder to the Roof" has to do with the show Everyday Rapture.

Maeanwhile the NY Jets' Mark Sanchez reveals himself to be a theater queen! Dude, I am so totally in love with you right now.
