How does an ordinary-colored-girl get her own talk show in 1973 covering Southern New England? Not by being a good girl. She wasn't always bad, she'd tell you. It wasn't until she met "him".

The films, TV shows, and music of the '60s, '70s, and '80s are still as classic and timeless as they were long ago.
