Weren't they suppose to do a unsung on him ?

That would be great.I wanna hear his story.

an interview, in case who's interested

Michael Henderson – Part 1 (2011)

Michael Henderson – Part 2 (2011)

The wittiest track ever which used football metaphorically in reference to gettin' busy. That bass line is difficult to define, thundering and unrestrained. Michael, you funky mutha!

""Ooh baby, let me show you my chin ups!"

If you're trying to put some life back into this dead section of the org, you picked the right artist who is as funky as he is sexy.

Yes! I still get hard every time I see it. All that hair on that chest and going into the top of the swimsuit and coming out of both leg openings onto the legs. And that bulge. Damn, he's hot!

What is strapped to his thigh? Is there a lyrical reference for this cover?

Damn, I've never noticed that before. I guess I've never looked that far down in the picture.

I bet you guys only bought that record for the album cover

If this was really the album cover i'm surprised the label even let him get away

with that in 1980. Was there any backlash?

I always thought Wide Receiver meant "gaping asshole."

This was the album cover for Slingshot,his 1981 album (a year after "Wide Receiver").

but yeah,it's surprising that he got away with that.I don't remember any backlash.

I'm not sure why, when before this came out, hard rock bands like Led Zeppelin had naked children on their album covers and there was that Rolling Stones' record with the zipper on it (Sticky Fingers). There were many album covers with women on them (ie. Ohio Players). A lot of stores did refuse to stock the naked John Lennon & Yoko Ono album though.

Oh yes, Lord.

Buying this damn album, just because of the cover alone. The songs are a bonus. Jesus, Lawd.

Actually, the only two Michael Henderson albums I have are "Solid" and "Wide Receiver" on vinyl and several songs downloaded. Don't think I haven't been keeping an eye out for "Slinghot" in the used record stores though.

There's nothing outrageous about that album cover. That's just a swimsuit and those type of skimpy swimsuits for men were very common for men back then. Believe me, I used to go up to the public pools and just watch the men through the fence back in those days. Men's swimsuits didn't get conservative until the 1990s. Like I always say, when the the 1990s began, it's like people started going backwards into more conservative times rather than forwards.

"Slingshot" was 1983.

It's spear-fishing gear (which you can see better on the dust jacket...Andy....seriously..the dust jacket....that's one you GOTTA get...lol)

Vainandy,I am shocked you're usually so good with remembering dates!

Slingshot is the sixth album by American bass guitarist Michael Henderson. Released in 1981 on Buddah Records.
