Were you surprised to learn Darryl Hall, Michael McDonald & George Michael were white?

Also were you surprised that Mick Hucknall (his group Simply Red sung Holding Back the Years) and Boy George were white, too?

No, but I was shocked when I found out Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers was white. When I first heard "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" as a kid, I pictured Bobby Hatfield (tenor) as a skinny little white guy (that's what he really looked like I would later find out), but I thought Bill (bass-baritone) was a big fat black guy. And I thought, "what an odd looking singind duo they must be."

Also, when "That's What Friends Are For" came out, I thought the Elton John was a black man. I was a child, what did I know?

Nope, they don't sound black but have very soulful voices. I was suprised to find out Bobby Caldwell was white though.

Surprise about K.C.

You Won't Make Me Picture Her Doing The Dawg

No on all the above.

I was shocked that Bobby Caldwell was white.

I saw a picture of Bobby Caldwell and was in denial for about a year

What do you mean?



They're white?

Nah...I grew up in the 70s...

Boy George is white?????

You know what they say about arguing on the internet… It’s a lot like running a race in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you’re still retarded.

Michael McDonald is the only one. The rest sound like white people trying too hard (especially Shit Hucknall). And before you ask, I am white.

Lewis Taylor pisses all over them anyway.

No. None of them sound black. The only singers I was surprised to find out that they weren't black were Boz Scaggs and Bobby Caldwell.

Sort of off-topic, but I've always been able to tell the difference, the songs may sound soulful and they're great singers but no way in hell did I think that Hall & Oates, George Michael, Michael McDonald, and especially Teena Marie (love her but that's laughable) were Black. I've only been fooled once but it was the opposite, when I heard "Drift Away" by Dobie Gray, I honestly thought it was a white guy.

Now that's weird to me, I always knew Bobby Caldwell was white.

I was surprised to learn that the singer on "I Wanna Be Your Lover" was a male. Also Sylvester and Wayne Cooper. They all did some damage to my 5-year-old mind.

I've often wondered if construction of a red lightsaber takes place before you can become a Republican, or is it something you do after initiation. Dah, well...

No, I wasn't surprised..
