Roberta Flack absolutely nailed it with her cover of Grover Washington, Jr.'s "Mister Magic". The lady is a talented artist. And when she did duets with Donny Hathaway, duet Magic.
She actually recorded it before Grover Washington Jr. for her album Feel Like Makin' Love but the release of that album was delayed. Grover's album ended up being released a few weeks before hers in early 1975.
How every African-American comic today doesn't give this man credit for the success they have is a travesty. He is rarely mentioned. So sad. He was so unique. Such a treasure.
Roberta: What a magical voice. It can truly do anything, straight tone, then a wide vibrato. A soft huskiness then she'll open up and project. SO unlike the bland monochromatic voices of today vocalists. And she has an artistic expression to USE that instrument! Just that short TV performance is a clinic.
I loved growing up when there were so many musical variety shows including this one. Also had Ed Sullivan, Sonny and Cher, Glen Campbell, Mac Davis and so many more. Special time when the family can all watch together.
Another great Flip Wilson show. I remember this era great music and Flip Wilson had black and white house holds rockin to his variety gala entertainment.
I love Flip Wilson and I certainly hope people like Martin Lawrence, Eddie Murphy, and Tyler Perry are grateful to him for paving the way with his character of "Geraldine"!
Flip Wilson was way ahead of his time. He had the entertainers and athletes are the stars of his show. Flip Wilson and Bill Cosby never use profanity of thier jokes but Flip and Bill have something in common, great storytellers. Also I have to put Arsenio Hall in there too. He made his guests comfortable Arsenio asked great questions and he made his band the co stars.
The Flip Wilson Show, is. a Classic !!.Plenty of God - Gifted entertainers....Top of the line!! And his Skits were...Priceless!!!!✨✨To all of the countless entertainers, who appeared on his show, ( and have gone on to glory, including Mr.Flip Wilson), May they ,Rest in Peace.God bless you for posting this Treasure, many thanks and gratitude for this journey down .......Memory Lane✨✨
The Pips wow what singers..What amazing choreography...And Soulful Gladys..And Ella Fitzgerald what a show..we had it good back then.. made me think of George Kirby...we had some greats..
Yester years now these were the best times when watching TV was so good 👏 enjoying all the back in time show's with so much manner respect .🌠💙🌠RIP Flip Wilson 💫👼💫
Louis Armstrong!!! Lena Horne singing Rocky Racoon is something I never expected to see in my lifetime. What a show! Ella Fitzgerald (her voice gave me cold chills) and Flip doing a great duet. Roberta Flack's Mr. Magic was wonderful, I had never heard it before. Jam-packed with black talent who were the most famous names of American music. The Temptations, Gladys Night and the Pips, Stevie Wonder, Harry Belafonte.
I love Roberta Flacks voice.she sings so smooth. She’s in my Top10 Female Vocalist. Back in the day: The Temptation was one of the Baddest Male Group out there. They were all Tall, Dark and Handsome.. not only could they sing they could also Dance. Gladys and the Pips were some of the entertainers too. Gladys voice has never cracked up until now.
I remember that Flip Wilson was so funny that every time he comes on Tv he brought a smile to my grandmother face. She loved him and his Geraldine character. 😊 RIP GRANNY OLIVE
What a lovely show. Flip really was a smart and funny guy. And too, look at all the talented people he had on his show. How wonderful. Thank you for sharing this.
Miss Horn was sooooooo blessed to have a voice to sing to people just because she could only God can give gifts like this pay attention to what you want for your life Linda j.❤️💯☮️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Flip Wilson was truly the all-around entertainer who offered opportunities for a number of Black entertainers. He showed his versatility because the White folks gained exposure through his show as well. I loved his show as a child! Celeste, in the ATL ☘️
My papa was a rolling stone too, and also like the Intruders said, I think pops was drinking more wine than we used, he come home clothes all wrinkled up, lint balls all on him but I didn't only love my mama I loved my papa too😂. And I still sometimes think about what might have been had he lived, all these 50 years later.
Flip had all the style -- that's why Hollywood was so empty -- Flip done took it all with him, and left the rest of those hustlers holdin' the bag. Can I get an Amen?
The art of being funny is having a physical ability that’s like dancing. Your timing and movement is key. When you have that natural ability and you’re good, the rest is easy.
What a great archive upload!!!! All the great legendary artist performers I grew up knowing as a kid. We were so privileged to appreciate such icons. Miss this show and flips character Geraldine.
The great louis armstrong died the next year i was glad to see him on the flip wilson show on tv love him he is miss i went to his house in corona queens Ny his house is a musuems and in this room you go in louis tape his voice in all that he did it was like he was there i felt his presents to whom who read this go and you will not regretted
Flip Wilson was a comedic genius. I miss the simplicity of the variety show. Today, the Stars would demand exorbitant amounts to perform. Back then they just wanted to be seen. Those were the good old days

Such a great video with black talent at the top of their powers. By the way we all know Lena Horne was an all time beauty but , my goodness, Roberta Flack was very gorgeous as well.
I kind of like Rev. Leroy's explanation for climate change. I don't believe it, but I like it, lol. Makes more sense than a lot of crackpot theories goin' around.
Steve loves singing about love God bless him and all the people from the old school storys of just caring about others Linda j.☮️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️☮️☮️☮️💤🙏🦋🦋🦋 Changes everything and people 🦋🦋🦋🦋☮️☮️☮️☮️💯💯💯
Roberta Flack pure classic. The Temptations every video ever song there's Otis dancing and singing backup. BUT I bet each night he envisioned them next to him.. Amazing.. Trully a legend..
This too me back to a time when life was easy. Flip was my first crush. He was the standard by which I measured all my little boyfriends. Yeah, life was good for a kid. Thanks for posting.
This is when entertainers knew how to deliver music! Master Class!
I always forget how much of a genius Flip Wilson was!!!
one of the funniest
Roberta Flack absolutely nailed it with her cover of Grover Washington, Jr.'s "Mister Magic". The lady is a talented artist. And when she did duets with Donny Hathaway, duet Magic.
We loveth the Roberta-of-Flack-ness too, dear Vinyltaleover !!! We do !!!
She actually recorded it before Grover Washington Jr. for her album Feel Like Makin' Love but the release of that album was delayed. Grover's album ended up being released a few weeks before hers in early 1975.
Ella had one hell of a voice, She could shatter a wine glass on her high notes! Awesome!
She sang it beautiful
The absolute genius of Flip Wilson as a child in the 1960s I loved his show - the best from America then. Music was wonderful on his show.
The good old day when we love each other…God bless everyone
Flip Wilson was one of the best comics ever to have lived he and Richard Pryor were the greats they R missed. DPitts
Flip Wilson makes me laugh so hard and makes me forget my troubles!
How every African-American comic today doesn't give this man credit for the success they have is a travesty. He is rarely mentioned. So sad. He was so unique. Such a treasure.
Chip Griffiths
VERY TALENTED AND FUNNY. "UPTOWN SATURDAY NIGHT" was one of his best gigs. LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS...BUBBLY, BUBBLY, BUBBLY...LOL!!
I wonder why too
Flip a great comedian
Who really made me laugh. Rest in peace and in God's hands
Miss Roberta Flack was an evolution "REAL MUSIC" Yes Lord....

Not just geraldine because he was the best variety show ever a great man
@@falanajerido875 zz
Thank you for the memory's
Flip is one of Jersey City's finest
I LOVE the way Ms.Flack just throws herself into a song.

These shows displat the fact America will never be great again, this was pure entertainment no swearing no low cut gowns, just pure talent.

I do miss the days when groups would synchronize a dance routine while singing. Loved it.
Amen For the Temptations!
Wow, Flip ahead of his time with that "Oil Analogy" they should have listened to him!
Please tell me where in the video... Thx
I had forgotten how good Flip Wilson was, used to watch him all the time years ago, just loved him.
I love Roberta Flack. A timeless treasure!
Yester years now these were the best times when watching TV was so good 👏 enjoying all the back in time show's with so much manner respect .🌠💙🌠RIP Flip Wilson 💫👼💫

I love the Temptations in this episode 😍
I love Roberta Flacks voice.she sings so smooth. She’s in my Top10 Female Vocalist. Back in the day: The Temptation was one of the Baddest Male
Group out there. They were all Tall, Dark and Handsome.. not only could they sing they could also Dance. Gladys and the Pips were some of the entertainers too. Gladys voice has never cracked up until now.
What do you mean Gladys voice cracked now?
No. Gladys Knight voice sounds just like it did in the 70’s. She has taken very good care of her voice.
I remember that Flip Wilson was so funny that every time he comes on Tv he brought a smile to my grandmother face. She loved him and his Geraldine character. 😊 RIP GRANNY OLIVE
What a lovely show. Flip really was a smart and funny guy. And too, look at all the talented people he had on his show. How wonderful. Thank you for sharing this.
I love Roberta Flack music she is so talented in singing you don't hear much Of her anymore she a legend in her own right in the 70's.

Thanks for sharing . My uncle Bob Henry was the producer.
The good old days when we love each other…God bless everyone.
Look at those kicks Flip is wearing. Too cool!
Flip had all the style -- that's why Hollywood was so empty -- Flip done took it all with him, and left the rest of those hustlers holdin' the bag. Can I get an Amen?
Wow,..Ella's voice was so youthful and clear,..man like she was 19 years old !!!
That was not Ella, try Roberta Flack
I apologize / answered to quick and she was youthful
Keep watching. Ella sings later in the video.n
And then Lena Horne
Gladys you are the best!!!!

What a great archive upload!!!! All the great legendary artist performers I grew up knowing as a kid. We were so privileged to appreciate such icons. Miss this show and flips character Geraldine.
Roberta, Ella, Stevie, the Temptations, and Papa Satchmo himself, who could ask for more?
Loved his show growing up...my talented cousin met Roberta Flack...was very much impressed
Temptations fantastically Fantastic

Flip was way ahead of his time but he was classy.
