"Love, I Never Knew You Could Feel So Good" is a song by The Supremes.
 The song was released in the UK in March, 1977 as the third and last single from their album "Mary, Scherrie & Susaye".
 This song is significant as it not only failed to chart, but it is also the last official single ever released by The Supremes.
The Joke's on Us is a Canadian game show that aired from 1983 to 1984.
 It was hosted by Monty Hall, joined by Sylvie Garant as assistant very early on in the run, with Sandy Hoyt as the show's announcer.
 Taped at Global's television studios in Toronto in association with the Global Television Network, the show was created and produced by two American game show veterans, Willie Stein and Nat Ligerman.
 Each episode featured a rotating panel of four comedians, which included such famous personalities of the day as Alan Thicke, Nipsey Russell, Arte Johnson and Jo Anne Worley.
Christine Jorgensen Reveals is a theatrical show that depicts the 1957 one-hour interview of Christine Jorgensen by Nipsey Russell.
 This was her only recorded interview.
 The show begins with a brief documentary.
 Then, Jorgensen's entire interview is lip synched by the two actors.
 The show received a generally positive critical response and earned the 2006 Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience.
 It has been mounted several times since its 2005 Off-Broadway production.
The Wiz is the original motion picture soundtrack album for the 1978 film adaptation of the Broadway musical "The Wiz".
 Although the film was produced for Universal Pictures by Motown Records' film division, the soundtrack album was issued on MCA Records as a two-LP collection (Universal was owned by MCA Inc. at the time).
 Chiefly produced by Quincy Jones, "The Wiz" soundtrack features non-sync cast performances by the stars of the film, including Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Nipsey Russell, Ted Ross, Mabel King, Theresa Merritt, Thelma Carpenter, and Lena Horne.
Julius "Nipsey" Russell (September 15, 1918 – October 2, 2005) was an American comedian, best known today for his appearances as a guest panelist on game shows from the 1960s through the 1990s, especially "Match Game", "Password", "Hollywood Squares", "To Tell the Truth" and "Pyramid".
 His appearances were frequently distinguished in part by the short, humorous poems he would recite during the broadcast.
 These lyrics became so closely associated with Russell that Dick Clark, Bill Cullen, Betty White, and others regularly referred to him as "the poet laureate of television."
 He also had a leading role in the film version of "The Wiz" as the Tin Man.
 He was also a frequent guest on the long-running "Dean Martin Celebrity Roast" series.
"Surviving the Times" is a 2007 hip hop song by Nas from his "Greatest Hits" album.
 The song's lyrics focus on Nas career before and just after Illmatic.
 The song makes reference to Nas' signing with Columbia Records, being turned down by Russell Simmons for Def Jam and him meeting Large Professor and Kool G Rap for the first time.
 The song also samples Nipsey Russell's song "What Would I Do If I Could Feel" from the musical The Wiz in the intro and chorus.
 A different version of this song appeared on Nas and DJ Green Lantern's "Nigger Tape".
 It contains the same lyrics but is produced by Cool & Dre.
"A Brand New Day", also known as "Everybody Rejoice", is a song from the 1975 Broadway musical "The Wiz" written by American R&B singer and songwriter Luther Vandross.
 (In 1976 Vandross recorded a version of the song for his album "Luther", on Cotillion Records.)
 In the play, the song is sung to celebrate because Dorothy has killed Evilene, the tyrannical Wicked Witch of the West.
 Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and the Scarecrow sing the song with the newly freed Winkies, who were ruled and enslaved by Evilene.
 It was later featured in the 1978 film version, sung by cast members Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Nipsey Russell, and Ted Ross (credited as The Wiz Stars).
 Given the all-Black cast of "The Wiz", the song's many references to freedom and new possibilities (especially as sung by African American characters who had just been freed from enslavement) certainly invoked the struggles and history of Blacks in America.
 In the onscreen version of the song, Nipsey Russell can even be heard exclaiming "Free at last!"
—a reference to civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. (His impromptu addition to the song is not heard on the soundtrack album version, instead replaced by sung vocals by Diana Ross.)
The Dean Martin Comedy World is an American variety comedy television series, seen on NBC during the summer of 1974, as a summer replacement for "The Dean Martin Show".
 It was also that program's last summer replacement series.
 The show was hosted by Jackie Cooper, Nipsey Russell and Barbara Feldon.
Godfrey MacArthur Cambridge (February 26, 1933 – November 29, 1976) was an American stand-up comic and actor.
 Alongside Bill Cosby, Dick Gregory, and Nipsey Russell, he was acclaimed by "Time" magazine in 1965 as "one of the country's four most celebrated Negro comedians."
Your Number's Up is a game show that aired on NBC from September 23 to December 20, 1985.
 The show was hosted by Nipsey Russell with Lee Menning as co-host.
 Announcing duties were handled by Gene Wood for the first month and John Harlan for the rest of the run, with Johnny Haymer and Johnny Gilbert as substitutes.
