Roger you are most welcome. Yes this is from WGBH-TV's [[Boston) "Say Brother" program series, directed by Stan Lathan. In the 60s and 70s there were many somewhat short lived locally produced music related television programs. This one was produced in Boston, MA.

Marv, many thanks as I`m doing a project on Motown artist`s film appearances and this fills a crack. I warn there could be further enquiries !

"Say Brother" has remained on the air but is now known as "Basic Black."

When they had a SB anniversary special some time back, they showed a lot of 60s music clips from acts like the Pips, the Impressions, and Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles. Over the years, they also covered a lot of notables like Eartha Kitt, Jesse Jackson and Maya Angelou, as well as local Boston-area political figures.
