Amazingly, there are two US TV clips from 1965 of Billy performing Edwin Starr's classic, one on Shindig and the other in brilliant colour on a Ray Charles TV special.

Question is , I had a VJ record label specialist collector from the US tell me recently that there exist VJ issued acetates of this as VJ were intending to release Billy's version on the West Coast but decided against it ...

Anyone have, or know of, such acetates ???

Killer clips, thank you for posting those, never knew Billy could move like that. Similar question re the version of Jackie Wilson doing Lonely Teardrops with Billy on keys, is there a studio version?

I Must have watched the "ray charles" clip 20 times so far. I am absolutely blown away by it. Astounded i think. That clip is going down in top 3 memories of soul that will stay with me forever....What a performance, what a mover....if you could bottle that now and sell it today...You'd be a rich man, my kids absolutely love it too.

where ever that clip came from....Tankyou!!
