1965- "New Year's" (spoken)

.....While most people are aware that Motown artists in the 1960's not only played individual headlining shows but travelled as a collective identity as the Motor Town Revue, many are not aware that later incarnations of that revue were MC'ed by Willie Tyler, best known for his ventriloquist act Willie Tyler and Lester. Tyler has had a varied carrier (with and without Lester) acting in movies and television and also writing and singing original songs. On his website is an audio clip for "CHRISTMAS RAP" and a video clip for "DECEMBER AGAIN". If I can confirm that they were recorded before 2000 I may post on them in the future. This post is about a routine from one of his comedy albums. Bits from the album have turned up on Youtube but I have yet to hear this. I'm mentioning it here on faith that it's relevant to the season but can't really review it without hearing it.
