Oaktown 357 was a group of girls that were apart of Hammer's entourage along w/ B Angie B. Like Hammer, they were from Oakland, Ca...hence the Oaktown. Dunno what the 357 was for. They had a few hits such as "Yeah Yeah Yeah" and "Juicy Got You Crazy".

They were a bit thugstress for their time, tho harmless going by what came later. They were more cute than flat out sexual.

Being Hammer folks, they danced well...but their raps skills were Meh. I'd say they were better than JJ Fad, but way below Lyte or Yo-Yo.

I would say that if they did them, they should do B Angie B as some sort of combo story.

Switch....probably not enough footage on them to do a full show.

Not only was his career interesting (he was on three of Zappa's album and Watson was one of Zappa's biggest musical influences) but so was his life...

Johnny "Guitar" Watson is an excellent choice along w/ Johnnie Taylor. There are plenty of 70s era acts that haven't been looked at. cool

Yes, and he also started his career earlier than I had originally though.

I was suprised when I found out that Johnny was a also a pimp. His life story needs to be told.

Like LBC said, that's not really much of a surprise from the way he was styled. wink

The pimp thing ain't all that unusual if you dig hard enough. Lots of musicians had "sidelines"...I wonder if they'd touch that tho! wink
