You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I used to always watch these shows growing up (In fact, I've been collecting copies of the "Battle of the Network Stars" shows), but I never saw this one!! Kool!!

^^I'm surprised The Runaways were on this, since I don't think they were mainstream popular.
