Classic O'Jays! The Richard Pryor Show!!!

[marv2]

Every now and then I come across something so good, so special that I just have to share it! I came across this great video clip that I had not seen again since the night it originally aired back in October, 1977. The O'Jay's performing their then current release "Work On Me" on the "Richard Pryor Show" [[NBC). You will score points if you can name the veteran Actress in the skit. [[hint: "Imitation of Life"). Check it out and enjoy!

Why did all these great Comedy/Variety Shows fall by the wayside? I'd much rather have these shows that the current "reality TV" crap shows we must suffer through at the present time. I don't need "American Idol" either. I'd much rather watch professional singers and musicians when I'm finish working LOL!
