The Teddy Pendegrass album seen at 3:25 was released in June 1978. So I think this footage was filmed in Summer 1978.

[@yidarmy3916]

love these old clips.... i look at the people and wonder where and what they are doing now.

[@mayena]

3:23-3:57 I see the album cover of Teddy Pendegrass - When Somebody Loves You Back (1978). I presume this original footage is from 1978 or 1979?.
