The Scene, a
daily dance show that featured many National and Local Guests
artists as well as many youngsters from the community was debuted.
The show ran for a record 12 consecutive years from 1975 to 1987
and retired as one the most popular and successful shows in the
history of WGPR-TV channel 62.
The Scene had a
strong loyal following of viewers that grew to include city and
suburb, white and Black, the young and the young at heart. Nat
Morris, Executive producer and host, provided opportunities for
unknown artists, launching many careers that went to national and
international fame. The Scene paved the way
for all the Detroit local entertainment TV shows that
followed and had the impact on Detroit Black Television in much the
same way that Soul Train and Don Cornelius had on a national
level.

dedicating an entire page on this site to

1975 to 1987. So send us your pictures via e-mail to: thescenedetroit@aol.com, or call Nat Morris

important and how valuable your pictures are to you. Here's
