I could (and probably should) spend all day looking at old clips. Here are a handful that a cursory YouTube search turned up. Let me know what other treasures I overlooked.
My personal favorite, coolest man on planet Herbie Hancock dropping knowledge:
Ray Charles
James Earl Jones
Richard Pryor
Johnny Cash
Wyclef Jean Keepin it Real with Cookie Monster!
Feist
Los Lobos!
Dave Chappelle, Oscar and All-Star Crew (All Glory to YouTube!)
(and speaking of YouTube, Chappelle, Q-Tip and glory…)
From 1988, People in your Neighborhood (featuring Martina Navritalova, Barbar Walters and…Ralph Nader??? Utter genius!)
