The volume is quite low but this is still very worthwhile. I've previously posted three different appearances of Muhammad Ali on The Mike Douglas Show over here and this is yet another one.

Muhammad Ali was a regular guest on all sorts of talk shows throughout the sixties and seventies, although he was more or less blacklisted for a short while during the Vietnam controversy.

Make sure to check out my Saturday Morning Blog for footage of I'm The Greatest, the terrible Muhammad Ali cartoon, this episode of The Generation Exploitation Podcast which features the classic Muhammad Ali vs. Tooth Decay vinyl LP, and this article I wrote for Radio WFMU about all the assorted trash culture The Greatest involved himself in.

Oh, and I almost forgot, since I mentioned the rambling Sly Stone, here he is out of his mind on an episode of The Dick Cavett Show. Poor Dick. Poor Sly.
