Here's what a journalist (obviously with no taste!!) wrote about the show that night -

"Neil Diamond looking so sour on "Top Of  The Pops" we wonder why he deigned to appear at all.  But Osibisa more than made up for it with a tremendous live - and we mean LIVE - guest spot. They were so good that they were immediately re-booked - rare for that show.

Looks OK to me!!!
