How this season is filed

Filed by Rex Fontaine · Golden Age Dispatch

Don Cornelius promises the hippest trip in America and delivers the national dance party corporate TV had under-served: guests, fashion, the Line, scrambleboard kids who became famous. Syndicated Black music television as cultural archive from 1971 deep into the 2000s. Velvet baritone as the rope.
