that reminds me, i haven't seen sparkle in a long time...

I just watched it on BET while my barber was cutting my hair, and yes this movie is kinda ASKING for a remake. SOME of the scenes (especially the end fight) is cheesy and old..but the overall story is a good one.
Sister crying while she was singin was scary and heartfelt. Gettin beat and snortin that cocaine.
Scary.

But anyway is this still going down? My barber said Beyonce may be playing Sparkle?

you know them youngins don't know that:

en vogue's giving him something he can feel video was an almost exact copy of the performance in sparkle

a very young phillip michael thomas who sings briefly in the movie went on to miami vice and a dreadful album

the powerful song that sister (lonette mckee) sings before her tragic cocaine overdose "giving up"...although made more famous by the late great donny hathaway..was originally recorded by gladys knight and the pips in 1964 but was written by van mccoy, whose biggest song is the disco staple "the hustle"
