We're rolling back to the 70's again with another PBS series many of you might've forgotten for one reason or another.
Black Omnibus lasted just 12-13 episodes, taped in 1972 in Los Angeles around the time of the Wattstax festival. A mix of interviews and live performances, the series featured a diverse lineup of comedians and musicians. Actor James Earl Jones ("The Great White Hope") is the series host.
In this clip, we'll see ventriloquist Richard Sanfield and his puppet, Willie.
Now, I'd never heard of Richard & Willie until today. Most of us know about Willie Tyler & Lester, who were either contemporaries of or influenced by Richard & Willie.
No rating.
