Sherman Hemsley, aka George Jefferson = prog fan. Movin' on up!
Dancing to "Proclamation" on a talk show, I have to find video of that.
From Wiki....
Sherman Hemsley is a self-proclaimed fan of 70's progressive rock including bands http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentle_Giant" rel="nofollow - Gentle Giant and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nektar" rel="nofollow - Nektar . On his appearance on The Dinah Shore Show, Hemsley performed a dance to the Gentle Giant song "Proclamation" from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_and_the_Glory" rel="nofollow - The Power and the Glory . After his dance, the host was laughing and asked what kind of music that was. Sherman then proceeded to give a 5 minute speech on Gentle Giant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman_Hemsley#cite_note-2" rel="nofollow - [3] Sherman can also been seen wearing a Nektar T-shirt during his interview with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Lear" rel="nofollow - Norman Lear when Lear hosted http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night_Live" rel="nofollow - Saturday Night Live from Season 2 Episode 26. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jeffersons.jpg" rel="nofollow">  ------------- ...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell" |

I've read that Hemsley was to do an album with Jon Anderson but it never happened.

At least you can understand Jackson, he played with Ponty, etc. Sherman is out of nowhere!
