Marking his first television premiere before his network debut on "The Flip Wilson Show" in 1973, Franklin Ajaye, of later "Car Wash" fame, tries out his stand-up comedic talents. Musical guests include blues violinist Papa John Creach, and singer Ester Philips. Mr. Jones interviews actor Ron O'Neil of "Superfly" movie fame, and editor and director Hugh Robertson on the controversy of "super black heroes" and their influence on the black community and future films. The show is closed out by singer Hannah Dee, accompanied by a chorus from the cast of "Don't Bother Me, I Can't Cope". Written by vtedwards See less
