Not sure, Marv. I wasn't familiar with it at all. Wish it were in better condition, but great fun just the same.

I remember they used photo stills from this special for one of their album covers. I think maybe for "Get It Together". The Jacksons were on television a lot in the 70s.

I was thinking the same because Joanne Worley's along for the ride as well.
