i LOVE hearing New Birth doing ‘la la la’ (i.e. You Don’t Have to be Alone)–take that lil’ wayne!
This was one of the bands that made most other bands HIDE!!!!! The New Birth Inc. was the total end all to be all! And the amazing Robin Russell on drums……THANK YOU NEW BIRTH & THIRTEEN!
this was an amazing episode! i’ve watched this at least five times in the last four days.
The New Birth was one of the most amazing groups
of it’s day. I still love, listen to, and am
inspired by this music to this day. I absolutely love
Londee Loren !! More please !?
The Nite-Liters & New Birth were always on top of their game. I had the pleasure of seeing them perform “live” several times back in the day. The first time was in York, PA – 1972. One of the best shows ever! Their stage presence & showmanship was truly EXCEPTIONAL. The group’s dynamic command of the stage, vocals & musicainship was second to none. “SOUL” was truly an innovative program! Stan Latham is simply the BEST TELEVISION DIRECTOR. He’s been in the game for such a long time. His ideas are always fresh — which is why his programming credits are endless. I’m so grateful to WNET Thirteen for posting these screen gems on line. Thank you WNET. Pleas keep them coming!
fire!!!! i believe the nite-liters and another group formed newbirth…harvey fuqua was that dude
Of all the shows you’ve posted, this is my favorite.
I’ve viewed it half a dozen times :^)
One correction.
Ch.10. You name the Nite-Liters jam “K-Jee” incorrectly as “El-Watusi.
BTW.
I remember a SOUL! show that featured NEW Birth and they did all of the songs from their album “Birthday”
That seems to be missing from your list.
Can’t waith till you can show this shows on 13!
Religion. amazing. thank you!
