Rock and Roll Gangster Nothing much to say about this song but damn this is a great track. A classic. Can't stop listening to it. Perfect groove. 1977's Rock and Roll Gangster by Aalon is the JAM OF THE WEEK!!!
"Rock and Roll Gangster, Rock and Roll Gangster, Rock and Roll man". http://www.youtube.com/wa...5m30SzhySE Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U. | |

I'm gonna have to look into it Titled 'Cream City',it was released in 1978...the same year that Prince and Rick James released their debut albums.Unfortunately,Aalon's album got lost in the shuffle.The single "Rock N'Roll Gangster" did receive some airplay on R&B radio but the album was largely ignored.I actually saw Aalon a few years ago,at one of our annual "Super R&B oldies" concerts. | |

I remember hearing that song on a "Boondocks" episode. I believe it was the one with Gangstalicious. NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

I remember thinking I had found a classic when I finally stumbled across Aalon's album after many years of searching.
It's not bad but not as legendary as I was led to believe based on what I had read about it. | |
