Just about every Motown act that played NYC appeared on his program.

The article that you posted says that the show was known for its odd mix of B- and C-list guests and the occasional A-lister, along with quirky New Yorkers from all walks of life.
Back in 1962 he had a quirky C lister New Yorker on wearing a weird get up made up mostly of second hand clothes. He thought her talent was great and had her on several times. She later became an A lister and was named Barbra Streisand.
I enjoyed his show and even liked his messy surroundings.

Sweet man, R.I.P. Joe Franklin.
He interviewed Jimmy on his television show in 1987, I have the footage, it's amazing.
He even went to catch Jimmy's show.
