    I wonder if she sings any Motown on the episodes chosen?

    Four Tops..Supremes... Thelma Houston.. Freda Payne
    One can only hope that one or more of them is included.

    B.B. King and The Supremes appeared on the same episode but only B.B. is listed on the box or highlighted by TV.com Why?

    So that means the Four Tops were never on her show singing , "This Guy's in Love with You". Which is listed as a part of episode 25 from June 21, 1970. I'm glad I asked the question because I don't remember them being on her show either. I do remember Freda Payne guesting..

    I bought the set last week and spent the weekend skimming through the episodes. There are lot of great guests, among them Ethel Waters, Lou Rawls, Mahalia Jackson, O.C. Smith, and others. No Motown artists as I recall. She did sing one Motown song, YOU'VE REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME, with the Righteous Brothers. There might have been others, but I tended to speed past her solo numbers.

    Any chance that either Dionne Warwick or Shirley Bassey appeared on any of her shows?

    No. Neither appeared on McNair's show.

    I only wish that they had included The Five Stairsteps, Eartha Kitt, The Edwin Hawkins Singers, Thelma Houston, Four Tops, Esther Phillips, The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, Sunday's Child [[who were on twice), The Supremes, Dakota Staton and Joanie Summers.

    The Edwin Hawkins Singers are on one episode of the set.
