| Since the mid 1970s the Rhythm &
Blues Awards has honored black recording artists for their achievements
in the music field. Featured in this collection are live performances
by artists such as Barry White, Gladys Knight & the
Pips, the Funkadelics, Michael Jackson and Sarah
Vaughn.
Produced by John Jackson for WAQT Productions for more than ten
years, the program was an annual event much anticipated by the record
industry. HISTORIC FILMS now exclusively represents
the clip rights for the Jackson-produced programs as well as his
mid-70s program, "Ebony Affair".
From 1973-77, Ebony Affair was a nationally syndicated
1/2 hour music series which presented a stellar array of contemporary
black artists performing their hits. The roster of talent was more
than equal to the program's well known competitor, Soul Train.
