I've looked around and I can't find any at all.

How did he manage to avoid a video camera for his entire career?

"If anybody still cares, Slim Harpo DID appear on American Bandstand, on the episode that aired on July 5, 1961. He lipsynched "Rainin' In My Heart," which was a big pop crossover hit for him that year. On that Sting It, Then! live set, the MC refers to his upcoming TV appearance between songs.

It is said that all Bandstand episodes still exist. However, Dick Clark Productions are notoriously tight-fisted about their archives, so I doubt if we'll be seeing this one make the Youtube rounds. I'd love to be proven wrong."

Perhaps that´s no comfort to you, but you know there is a live album with him? "Sting it".
Ed. Sorry, I now see that Komuso alreday has mentioned this.
