Here's the lowdown...
I've cribbed the vids from my first set and I they are all from 1977 (I think?). First up is Den fave Joe Tex and the 'Ain't gonna bump no more'- lite 'Rub down'. No footage of Joe doin' this one folks so you'll have to be content with hearing this over- looked gem whilst staring at the weird- ass sleeve.
In quick succession we have the cheesy lyrics of 'Vitamin U' which is a rare occasion of Smokey singing someone elses tune. The only other I can think of is 'I gotta dance to keep from crying' which I think was HDH?. Again, no footage so here's some horrors on 'Soul train' doing their thing!
