Art HowardThe Godfather of Soul makes an appearance on the old "Late Night with David Letterman" on July 12, 1982. This is the best musical TV performance I've ever seen. This night Paul Shaffer and the fellas proved they really were The World's Most Dangerous Band!
This was the first piece of video I ever digitized. On the original upload I took the audio straight off the old VHS tape. On this one I've boosted the volume and added a light "stereo" effect to (hopefully) make it sound better across all devices.
This is the property of NBC, of course. I make no ownership claims to this fine video at all.

It's quite nice. I remember passing this as a farmer's field on the way to North Cobb High School over 20 years ago.
Now you never need to leave the house or exercise again. I've already documented the park experience for you.Driving Around East Atlanta VillageArt Howard2011-08-05 | East Atlanta Village is an extension of the Little Five Points area of Atlanta that began about 15 years ago.

By the way, I walked around with my camera on in the middle of this song and didn't realize it.
