Experts often cite 1939 as the greatest year ever for movies but I posit here that 1974 was even better when it came to exceptional, influential, and just plain cool movies of all sorts! Here's just a sampling.

Rochester in Northern Kentucky, 1947
Who needs Jack Benny? In 1947, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson took his own act on the road, here appearing in Northern Kentucky at the famous (and probably whites only) Lookout House supper club, literally just up (an admittedly long) hill from where I'm sitting as I type these words!
Almost every day he was here, he got some coverage in the local papers and he was even held over for a second week!
And look who was playing over in the next county at the same time, a full two years before their first movie!
