Hilarious introduction by Sullivan. But he deserves credit for giving network airtime to black performers when "race music" was hardly mainstream. Bo was supposed to perform the Tennessee Ernie Ford song "Sixteen Tons" and Sullivan allegedly told him he'd "never work in this business again". But Bo was an ornery character as Dingwalls staff will attest...
