There's a 1970 video turned up on Dime yesterday. Not got a chance to watch it yet,I think its several tracks played live as a trio.

Wish I could post Steve Hurley's House Remix of "Uh-uh Ooh-ooh Look Out (Here It Comes)" (it's referenced upthread) because it pops up in my head every now and then and it came up in a DJ mix I was listening to last week, but it seems to have been erased from YouTube. Hurley's sort-of-dub House of Trix Mix is all there's left.

1970 show mentioned a few posts ago by me is Flack on Boboquivari so about 1/2 hour of her around teh time of Chapter two. Her on piano with a rhythm section.Seems quite good. Hadn't realised there was more of a series than the Tim Buckley set . Hadn't realised it was a series.So would like to know what else is in it if the rest is as good as the 2 I've seen.Looks like it must be being repeated on some channel since there is on screen text happening , recommendations to listen to shows. thankfully didn't seem to be much in the way of clips across the bottom of the screen
THis was the one clip I could see on youtube from ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlZihXbU91Q

Almost wholly because of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"--one of '70s greatest singles, I'd say, though it actually came out in '69--there's an American Masters on her airing next week.

let's not forget the supposedly-don-mclean-inspired "killing me softly."

Sorry to hear that.
I fluffed up that post of mine above--what I meant to say was that my interest in the American Masters episode was almost wholly because of "The First Time." Obviously, Flack had many other hits, including two other #1s. If anything, "Killing Me Softly" has become her signature song--it's the one that made a couple of the Rolling Stone Top 500s. I markedly prefer "The First Time," and "The Closer I Get to You" would be next.
