Ya know, Telma Hopkins from this group was later an actress on sitcoms like Family Matters, Are We There Yet?, and Bosom Buddies. They still perform occasionally: You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Oh yeah, I know her! Ha ha, I thought I saw 2 white girls singing. Guess I was just looking at who this guy Tony Orlando was. But I had to look again when you said the Telma Hopkins from Family Matters. Learn something new... [Edited 6/10/14 20:13pm] | |

^^It's a female name. I don't know if it's common today though. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

My grandmother loved the Tony Orlando and Dawn show. Everyone all over the country were tying yellow ribbons around trees to show support for the Vietnam troops because of their song. I saw them all over people's yards as a kid... "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

. I remember a cashier at our local supermarket who was named 'Candida'. It didn't occur to me at the time because I was very little, but that girl must have hated her parents. [/hyperbole] . I don't want your rhythm without your rhyme | |

Yeah, like Hildegard & Etha Mae. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

If it was me, I would've changed my name when I became of age. Or just go by 'Candy'. | |
