Midnight Special: 1975!

So, I'm watching highlights from the television program, Midnight Special, with this hunk being picked out from the year 1975. I took notes on most of the performances - quick ones. Most of the artists I'd never seen live footage of. Perhaps seek some of these groups out or view some videos.

Natalie Cole - She's a very happy woman. Probably because she's an incredible singer. Excellent keys from the guy in the candy-striped bathrobe.

Barry Manilow - Looks like Methodist church with sequins. But he puts out a very haunting love song.

Rod Stewart - Fucked up animal. Don't stop.

Earth, Wind, and Fire - Crazy musicians in futuristic Elvis suits.

Orleans - Purple pants and great beard, man. Just ask her to dance.

Wolfman Jack - Great jacket.

Ohio Players - Horn section rips it up. If you're wearing sunglasses indoors, chances are you're having a real good time. He holds his double-neck as if he found it in a smoking hole, out in the timber. Excellent stop-motion dance routine mid-song.

Olivia Newton John - Oh, she'll make you fall in love.

Glen Campbell - Everyone should have one country singer friend. It would do well for humanity if we should all know each other so.

Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles - Ray is so into it, as if he's trying to burst free of his skin. Aretha sits there swaying back and forth, showing off her voice.

Minnie Riperton - Word to the wise, if you watch this under the influence of anything, those high notes will put a Tesla coil on your person. Minnie somehow created a perfect world.

KISS - Sweaty, hairy, guys in makeup. This is like Ghost Rider, not good until the realization of the ridiculousness that it is. Superheroes, Challengers of the Unknown. Gene Simmons, so tall, hunkers over the little guy and looks at him like he'd eat his face.
