Whatever happened to ... CHUNKY A?

Chunkston Arthur Hall was an overweight funkster who had the 1989 hit single, "Owwwww!" One would think that a 400-pound black man in leather with the memorable line "More cushion for the pushin'" would have given R. Kelly a run for his money ... but he disappeared. Where did he go?

Haven't you heard?...



...He and Rasputia are an item. (well, that is his boy)


Coincidentally, I heard Arsenio a few weeks ago here in L.A. subbing for a talk radio host.

Chunky A was a one time gimmick created by Arsenio Hall. It wasn't meant to last. It was to him just a funny joke to get in the record biz. He never took it seriously and neither should you. You would never see Chunky A again.
Peace and be wild!

Uh ... I already knew that. The thread was created in jest, a la Little Blue Corvette's previous threads. Apparently, you thought it was a straightforward question.
