Still trippin' off those earlier clips of Gladys Knight!

The woman was fine as all GET OUT when she was younger.
She doesn't look bad now, but she was SOMETHING SCRUMPTIOUS back then...didn't know it until I saw those clips.

So I guess this brother was before Don Cornelius and Soul Train.

There was another brother out in Oakland....I forget his name....but he also had a nice little show going on that was getting to be pretty main stream.
He had Paul Mooney on the show and Paul had an AFRO...lol...so it had to be pretty far back in the day.  I'm thinking late 60s.
