1975 tv show.Todds straight down the middle pop star routine is intriguing.

I've been a Todd fan since he looked like this. (showing my own age). I was on my son's You Tube account & thought I'd look up Todd songs. I'm now in heaven. I didn't realize that there would be so many. I just signed up for my own account, & I know I will be enjoying this for a long time. I love to read the comments, & I look forward to reading and replying to more!!!!!!!!! Todd Forever!!!!!!!

I was 11 years old when I bought my first Todd album, when he was with Nazz. That was in 1969. I followed Todd ever since. Problem was in those days, It was hard to find Todd on TV, no VCRs, no compact discs, no MP3's. Just records, cassettes, and 8 tracks, and the radio played very little of his material. But I caught a few of his shows. He was VERY energetic, played well, and was funny. Utopia was a great back up band. I'm glad there are so many more fans now than there were then. Amazing.

He understood at a very early time in his career that there was a Satanic like corruption in the music industry and he refused to go along with it....decade after decade!!

I made an audio cassette of this episode that I played so much it wore out. Nice to see the video again after 40+ years. In later years Todd often toured alone with a pair of computers, one to play backing audio and one running into a video projector that played still and video images and video effects. On July 11, 1987 he played a solo gig in Philadelphia's Fairmount park. The computer that played his backing tracks crapped out from the 104° F / 40°C heat and he ended up using only an acoustic guitar for the show. It was perfect.

Todd proves he truly gets it, being a man isn't about hate those not like you, screw over folks to gain a buck and he who dies w/the most toys wins, it's about love, compassion, those things money can't buy; being self-actualized, trusting your own thoughts and understanding of your innate sense of right and wrong. Todd nailed it with this tune. So sad that too many people think brutality, intimidation and getting others to fear you and bow to your will makes one a man, talk about uncivilized...

Few folks realize that Todd was also one of the great guitarists of the end of the 20th century...if interested look into the Utopia Album Ra to see his greatness on the "git fiddle".

On the particular show however, three acts appeared and each had a half-hour performance. Me and several other then Todd fanatics waited 2 weeks to see Todd. But the first half hour was Gladys Knight and the Pips, Then, the 2nd was The Spinners. Todd's 1/2 hour rounded out a very soulful show indeed!
