Teri Garr was certainly more memorable than Billy J. Kramer. And no reflection on Marvin Gaye, but I wasn't paying attention to the male dancer in his performance.
As for creepy lyrics, that's an interesting point. A lot of 60's, 70's, even 80's tunes can be viewed under a different lens today. For instance, it's doubtful ZZ Top plays Francine with it's inappropriate age related lyric the same way today, and it's one of the catchiest tunes on Rio Grande Mud. Maybe we should cut vintage films and music a little slack.
Hopefully this won't digress into an off topic discussion of song lyrics. Something more topical would be discussions and recommendations for filmed music performance documenting all variety, whether rock, blues, jazz, etc., as theatrical or home video releases. Filmed music events aren't as frequently discussed in those forums strictly oriented toward music listening.
