From 1977, Le Pamplemousse performing “Le Spank.”

The 1977 LP from Le Pamplemousse, “Le Spank.” I don’t believe that this was ever released digitally, and every song is fantastic. (From discogs: aka Amrakus, Cheetah (5), Discognosis, El Coco, In Search Of Orchestra, Rinder & Lewis, Rinlew Allstars, Saint Tropez, Sweet Potato Pie, Time Travelers (3), Tuxedo Junction)

Originally featured in the 1978 film “Thank God It’s Friday,” here is Pattie Brooks performing “After Dark” on Soul Train. 

Picked up a $1 copy of Pattie Brooks’ 1979 LP “Our Ms. Brooks” over the weekend, and found this mint condition press kit inside. The Variety reprint from June 9, 1978 announces Brooks’ appearance at Studio One (currently The Factory) and “a new pop music form: a live singer with taped disco band backup.” Admission was only $3.50 plus a two-drink minimum. I LOVE THIS STUFF!

From 1979, Chi-Chi Favelas And The Black And White Band performing a medley of the JJ Cale song “Cocaine.”

HOT.

From 1965 (?), the Hullabaloo Dancers perform a dance routine to the theme tune from the original Batman TV series. Maybe superhero movies should include a dance number?

From 1975, The Modulations performing “It’s Rough Out Here.”
