i love Miss Martha's first solo lp. absolutely masterful. There's the clips on youtube of her [[in braids) singing Peculiar, Love makes me do foolish things and Power of Love. is that her on Midnight special? i didn't think that was the show but maybe it was. She sounds great but frankly i think she comes across, visually, very bland. she doesn't seem very excited to be there. maybe the producers didn't have things set up for her to really work the stage. but she should have taken the mike off and walked around a little.

but you're point is well taken. something like that would have exposed the sups to a more contemporary audience. Studio 54 opened in April 77. Image the girls doing a performance there!

Saturday Night Live debuted in 75. while the Sups disco appeal might not have fit in there as well, it would have also been a good venue. I'm surprised other motown acts of the time didn't perform there. marvin, diana. Did any motown acts appear on there? i know martha did post motown
