that would be a clue to duplicate that Marketing on other releases.
"T.C.B." not only won the Neilsen ratings the night and week it ran, but, it was the #1 Variety Special of 1968. It was the first all black special of it's kind. Even if VH1 doesn't see any value in re-airing the special on its anniversary, why doesn't TVONE, BET, Circuit or Aspire...or PBS with a simultaneous re-release of the soundtrack [[with "G.I.T." or "join The Temptations" as a bonus disc.
