Marie Osmond & The Commodores ~ Still/Brick House/Three Times A Lady/Midnight Magic 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 | |

Variety shows were alot of fun.

We had THE BEST variety shows when we were kids! the 70's rocked
Imagine, there was a time when you could actually hear people singing music live on tv week after week as part of their career, along with skits, dance routines, etc. These days an "entertainer" manages to sing and dance at the same time and people think it's the second coming of the Messiah | |

There were also those athletic/sports competitions with singers/bands & actors back then like Circus Of The Stars and Rock & Roll Sports Classic.
