WCIU Channel 26 - The Oscar Canales Show - "Harriet Blake Sings" (1977)

Here's a segment from a program called The Oscar Canales show on WCIU Channel 26 featuring a singer named Harriet Blake.

"On Monday Nights at 9pm WCIU had a series of rotating producers who would produce a monthly special. Oscar Canales was one of those host producers. Oscar was a singer who would always open the show with a song, sometimes singing with his guest. On this particular night his guest was Harriet Blake, another singer. She put on quite a performance and I have to say that the crew was at the top of their game that night.

Since we never recorded anything that wasn't a station [produced] show, I was very upset that this show had gone off into the airwaves never to be seen again. Then I found out that Oscar had one of those new fangled Betamax machines at home. We arranged to get his machine to a friends house with a 3/4" deck and transferred it. This is the only reason this performance still exists." - Frank J. Chambers, Jr.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Monday, January 10th 1977.
