Just as music videos are being pulled from youtube in the UK (this is a mistake unfortunately), the Library of Congress is making available archival footage on youtube. See the story here.
Check out a Library of Congress performance by Stevie Wonder here. About 35 minutes in, Wonder talks about his love for the radio and how he used to make fun of opera singers. The inversion is wonderful. He talks about being from the ghetto in Detroit and a woman who lived nearby him listened to opera and would be told to turn down the racket, "that ain't B.B. King!"
