disbelief See, I had totally erased from the memory banks the fact that The Reverend used to do that.

The only things that salvaged that link visit were the Soul Train Line vids that were there.

Especially this one...

...where you see a young Rosie Perez vigorously shakin' her money maker. love

I get all touched when I think about the prehistoric days of real bands playing live on Soul Train.

Notice that ain't NOBODY in that band smiling. That was some SERIOUS shit!


The platform shoes top it all off. smile

Man, I'm sorry. If I had the power to send you a beer through the Internet I would.

But hey, sometimes these things happen.

I once saw Joe Simon on Soul Train dressed like a lady.

We're talking Mr. Nine Pound Steel! Dressed like that when he sang "The Choking Kind" I thought he was talking about a uh, grown up activity for those over 21 gone wrong.

And then who can forget this?

We'll settle up at a later date.

doh! That David Ruffin clip is another one that's visually just wrong.
The wig fro is too much. He looks like Frenchy from that In Living Color sketch.


I'm used to freaky stage dressing from...

This Rhino comp...



...is a good one for folks that want some perspective on their career from the beginning.

Includes the tune Testify (w/Jimi Hendrix on guitar) that comes up in discussion when folks debate what was the 1st funk tune.
Other notables - Who's That Lady (blueprint for That Lady), Shout, Twist & Shout, This Old Heart of Mine, Take Me In Your Arms.


Another good comp...



...that'll be easier on your wallet.

If he really was "tired of being alone" he should have stopped getting dressed in the dark! lol

Just joking - he looks fly.
