Musical Chairs 75

This channel is dedicated to sharing the fabulous though short-lived 1975 gameshow "Musical Chairs" with you.  Host Adam Wade was the first African American host of a gameshow notwithstanding two prior decades of a heyday for television gameshows.  An exceptional singer, Wade also proved to be a very smooth, likeable host.   Rotating guest performers, including rising stars and superstars, sang snippets of popular tunes, then sang three choices of a next lyric for the contestants to pick from.  Watching the show gives a glimpse into a wonderful earlier time.  Episode uploads include the ads that aired at the time, which themselves offer the occasional glimpse at a rising star, and a delicious taste of 1975.  Enjoy!
The Musical Chairs Orchestra was led by Derek Smith and included Bobby Shankin, Loren Korevec, Jay Leonhart, and Bob Rose.
Guests included: The Tokens, The Flashy Ladies, Sister Sledge, Ernestine Jackson, DeDe Warwick, Kelly Garrett, Lou Rawls, Larry Kert and many others.
