Right now you can only get this on VHS: Shindig: Soul [VHS]. Old Skool Baby! Shindig was among the first to start the whole lip-sync thing. Regardless, James Brown blows things up with his dance moves. More about Shindig on Wikipedia. Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag:

Marva belts out Things Got to Get Better. You can see JB in the background conducting. Marva was in the JB road show for years. A little about her on Wikipedia. I think this is from a David Steinberg hosted music show called The Music Scene.
