Description: Here's an NBC News Special Report on the death of former Vice President and New York Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller as aired on WMAQ Channel 5. The bulletin came at the end of a commercial break and interrupted an edition of The Midnight Special which featured The Village People amongst the musical guests. I left some of the song in at the end for fun. Includes:
Tail end of commercial for Tickle anti-perspirant for women - "You'll Love The Way It Works" - (C) Bristol-Myers Company 1978
