Booker T & the MGs - Time Is Tight

Great footage of the band during the Melting Pot era, doing a very dramatic rendition in 1970 at a show that apparently also featured CCR.

Michael Kiwanuka - Tell Me A Tale

We'll spare you the superlatives and poor comparisons. This is good. Listen.

Minnie Riperton - Come To My Garden

Some great stills from and nice words about the making of Minnie Riperton's first solo record, which came out while she was still in Rotary Connection. Check out Dick Rudolph's Chase shirt, btw.

The Sylvers - Wish That I Could Talk To You Baby

We love these early Sylvers songs, most of which were written by the teenaged Leon Sylvers III. This is the second part of their first Soul Train appearance, which includes an interview by Don Cornelius.

Michael Jackson & Donny Osmond host the 1974 AMA's

This is pretty weird. The look MJ gives Donny Osmond at :34 sums up his feelings about his involvement in this whole affair.

Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys - The Equals

Ok, so they're not playing live, but whatever. It's good to see these fellows doing their thing on television. Check out Eddy Grant, hamming it up on far left.

Memphis Soul Stew - King Curtis & the Kingpins

Unreal footage with almost all of the original Kingpins (Jerry Jemmott, Cornell Dupree, Bernard Purdie) as well as Truman Thomas and Warren Smith.
