OK, after screwing up some info on another thread I did some checking on my memory about Wayne Cochran.

I found out that Jaco Pastorious was once part of his band!

And that Wayne got religion in the early 80's and became a minister.

Not only did he do a killer version of the song C. C. Rider, it was also the name of his band.

Here he is on a bad hair day:

prince flat out stole that look eek


I don't think Prince "stole" that look anymore than I think that Little Richard "stole" it. I have seen countless pics of black man back in the day with the doo rag on and suits. When Prince did it, I saw it as a throw back to that era/nostalgia. I never got the impression that he was trying to pass it off as a new look that he created on his own. Most of the black people who I know recognized the look as a throwback look at the time. Are those of you who are saying Prince stole this look saying that you had never seen it before Little Richard?
perfection is a fallacy of the imagination...

holy shit that man is scary. who is he?? eek


Wayne was a cover artist extroardinare in the early 70's. He did a version of CC Rider that just killed. If he's around today I'm sure he's still pullin' 'em in in a casino somewhere.

The guy was legendary back in the day.




I guess he attempted to be a JB-clone to a degree...

Yes, much respect to sister Jermaine Stewart.

Her conk was majestic. It flapped like a flag in the wind.

RIP Jermaine
RIP Jermaine's wiggy

And no, we shan't forget the magic that is

the curl.

King Michael showed the world what it meant to have a curl, and he wore it well.

All hail Michael's curl. worship

He didn't back then. From the 50s and 60s, Richard's hair was actually like that cool

Unlike others curls, Michael took REALLY good care of his. Look at the Jacksons' Victory promo pictures. Michael's was the best, with Jackie coming in 2nd. The WORST? Jermaine of course lol

You're kidding right??? Prince's nappy roots are ALWAYS on display. I just don't understand what the pro'lem is. disbelief

No Joke. I can just flat iron my hair MYSELF and you can't see anything the least bit nappy.
This man has HAIRDRESSERS and he's always got his negrowth on display.

But I think my buddy here has to win. Just because when I think the hair style, I think Little Richard. It's synonymous. WooOOOoo00oooOOO!

-----
Sorry you do not see to many pics of P with new growth. Now hair all over his head and uncombed yes back in the day he was famous for that but new growth I do not think so.

This look was eye catching and sexy. No complaints on this end. Definitely a mack vibe was resonating from the CD pimp.

I must agree! I saw him at the bayfront in miami, live in 2004 and he looked AMAZING with that hair. He looked sexy as hell and I was loving it. I was very close too, so I got a good look. I was sad when he changed it. sad

As he would say (not the Dave Chappelle quote tho): "BITCH, I'm Rick JAMES!" cool Rick had one of the baddest curly manes/long hair (cornrow braids, dreadlocks) that I've ever seen. Even by the time he died, I loved his hair. dove
