The fifth entry on PCL was about this man. That, if anything, says something about his importance. 'Cause you know: He's your man!

Night Music

"Sunday Night, later named Michelob Presents Night Music, was an NBC late-night television show which aired for two seasons between 1988 and 1990 as a showcase for jazz and eclectic musical artists. ... " (Quote from the Wikipedia entry.)

"A revelation to music fans, this show appeared and disappeared with little fanfare, being light-years ahead of the bulk of it's audience in style and substance. Every possible realm of music was boldly explored...from minimalist art-noise to traditional folk styles and everything beyond and in-between. Absolute genius, a marvelously noncommercial experiment that was doomed to failure despite itself. ..." (Quote from user comment at the IMDb entry for 'Sunday Night')

The show was hosted by Jools Holland (only first season) and David Sanborn.

Melodifestivalen 1974

This is Melodifestivalen 1974, the Swedish qualifications for Eurovision Song Contest 1974. Behold the set, the clothes, the hairdos and enjoy the songs and the music! Hey, wasn't that ABBA??

Aha, sure, but what the h-ll is Eurovision Song Contest?

Update: The YouTube user has for some reason removed the videos! But here is another great Swedish contribution to Melodifestvalen - it's Loa Falkman singing Symfonin. He finished last in 1990.
