    "My Music- Superstars of 70's Soul" on PBS

    Anybody catch this broadcast last night on PBS.Outstanding! :D Live performances accompanied with full orchestration were offered up.
    The Manhattans- Shining Star
    The Emotions- Best Of My Love
    George McCrae- Rock Me Baby
    The Chi-Lites - Oh Girl,Have You Seen Her
    The Stylistics-Medley Betcha By Golly Wow/You Are
    Everything and You Make me feel Brand
    New
    Yvonne Elliman - If I Can't Have You
    Maxine Nightingale-Right back Where We Started From
    Sister Sledge - We Are Family
    Tavares- Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel
    Heatwave- Always and Forever
    The Intruders - Cowboys To Girls
    The Commodores - Brickhouse
    The Trammps - Hold Back The Night
    All were outstanding.They sounded as good as they did 30 years ago.I missed the first 20 minutes so I don't know who else appeared.But a definite must see for lovers of 70's soul/disco.

    Also tonight on CBC our Canadian network at 8:00 PM there is a special broadcast called "Motown 45" featuring artists and songs from the Motown era appearing with The Funk Brothers.
    Different eyes see different things. Different hearts beat on different strings. But there are times for you and me when all such things agree...Rush

    I've seen it several times.
    Love the show.
    We have discussed the evolution of R&B and Soul into Disco many times on this BB and "The Superstars of Seventies Soul" is an excellent way to see that evolution in action.
    I ordered Vol. 1 of this concert from PBS (on backorder) along with "Rythym, Love and Soul" Vol.1 so I would hope that Vol. 2 is "only" six months away.
