WCIU Channel 26 - John Q's Entertainment Scene (Part 1, 1978)

Views: 4531

Here is Part 1 of a locally produced dance show called John Q's Entertainment Scene on WCIU Channel 26. Not quite Soul Train, but close enough. This was their 1st Anniversary episode.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that this hasn't been seen in 30 years.

Marvel at the low-budget 70's-ish-ness of it all. :-)

This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, December 16th 1978.
