Dick Clark Interviews Eddie Kendricks on "Action '74"

[marv2]

This clip is very short, but it made me think of all the great footage that Dick Clark Production has of the greatest artists of all time. I had forgotten about this show, "Action 74" and wished this clip included Eddies' performance of "Boogie Down".

I remember it well. There was also a version called "Action 73" from the previous year of course. "Action 74" was a 70's version of Where the Action Is, except it was in color and was shown as more of a semi monthly special, not a weekly program. They had the Impressions, Blue Magic, Bill Withers, Rufus, Bloodstone, and just about every popular act during the 1973 -74 era. I have never saw those shows rebroadcast even snips of them during Dick Clarks anniversary shows.
