I apologize for the poor quality of the footage. Here's Grandmaster Flash and "White Lines." The dancers make me think of a low budget version of the movie Fame or something.
Best bass line ever

Prince performing live at his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. Prince...the man who looks like Little Richard, dances like James Brown, and plays like Jimi Hendrix.
19 year old Patti Austin in 1969, singing a tongue-in-cheek song about interracial dating:
I am loving those rougher vocals more than her later "smooth jazz" perfectionist vibe, actually.
Under the sliding scale, this song just makes it. I find it incredibly poignant.
This is so 90s, and I love the "black is beautiful" vibe it gives me.
One of the guys is Marc Nelson, whose mother Phyllis Nelson had a hit with "Move Closer" in the 80s.
don't slap me cuz I'm not in the mood...
Slow dancing back in the day,,,

At the time my eldest cousin's room was like to me the place to hear the hottest and latest music when I'd visit
Willie Nelson's Country/Western ballad Funny How Times Slips Away has been recorded by just about everybody, but perhaps never more memorably than in this 1964 R&B version by Joe Hinton:
Jackie Wilson sings Higher and Higher. 'Nuff said.
As for this one, it's certainly from the "Guilty Pleasure" pile...
