Otis Redding & The Bar-Kays - Try a little tenderness, December 9, 1967. This is Otis Redding's last television performance taped less than 24 hours before He and most of the Bar-Kays were killed in the plane crash on December 10th 1967.
To me, this is one of the greatest true life sports movies of all time...I have watched this movie dozens of times over the years and getting ready to once again watch it....LOL. The videos down below only tells a part of the story of Earl "The Goat" Manigault, i would go out and tell anyone to buy this movie, it's a must have for your movie collection. Don Cheadle did a great job playing Earl.
On the very last video, be sure to watch from 5:25 till the end, you will see the real Earl Manigault....
THE GOAT (R.I.P)
Real Name: Earl Manigault
Hometown: NYC, New York,
Born: September 7th 1944...Died: May 15th 1998
Height: 6"1
Position: Guard
Affiliations: Rucker Legend
Filmography: Rebound
Short Bio
The Goat held court against countless NBA pros and Hall-of-Famers. This sleek 6-1 court-acrobat ran like a gazelle and seemed to defy gravity when he took flight. The only thing that could bring The Goat down to earth were his own personal vices on the street. Earl will always be remembered as a playground legend of his day. Earl "the Goat" Manigault is perhaps the best basketball player ever to have played the game. A shade over 6 feet tall, he could dunk effortlessly with both hands. With a vertical leap of 52 inches, he had the ability to jump up and grab quarters off of the top of a basketball backboard. He played during the renaissance of New York City basketball in the 1960s, at in the famous Rucker League where the best playground players played with the pros every summer.
"One of the greatest players the Rucker has ever seen," said Joe "The Destroyer" Hammond. "The best basketball player his size in the history of New York City," said Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Called "the king of his own generation of ballplayers, and the idol for the generation that followed" by Pete Axthelm in The City Game, Earl Manigault never realized his incredible potential as a basketball player because he succumbed to the lure of drugs in the Harlem neighborhood of his youth.
Earl "The Goat" Manigault, the New York City playground basketball legend whose life was chronicled in an HBO movie two years ago, recently died of congestive heart failure at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan. He was 53.

And now presenting the hottest new group to hit the top of the charts in the last 20 years...The Stray Cat Trio singing their number one hit, The Stray Cat Strut...
SINGING.....
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh,
Black and orange stray cat sittin' on a fence
Ain't got enough dough to pay the rent
I'm flat broke but I don't care
I strut right by with my tail in the air
Stray cat strut, I'm a ladies' cat,
A feline Casanova, hey man, thats where its at
Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man
Get my dinner from a garbage can
Yeah don't cross my path
I don't bother chasing mice around
I slink down the alley looking for a fight
Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night
Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry,
"Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy."
I wish I could be as carefree and wild,
but I got cat class and I got cat style.
I don't bother chasing mice around
I slink down the alley looking for a fight
Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night
Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry,
"Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy."
I wish I could be as carefree and wild,
but I got cat class and I got cat style.
I just got back in town, i just had to go see my new Grandbaby...SMILE. These are not the greatest pics, glad i bought another camera. I have to get that film developed.

SINGING...There's a bright golden haze on the meadow,
There's a bright golden haze on the meadow,
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye,
An' it looks like its climbin' clear up to the sky.
Chorus:
Oh what a beautiful morning,
Oh what a beautiful day,
I've got a wonderful feeling,
Everything's going my way.
V phi V..that's what we wanna be...lol How you doing suggah? I was happily surprised to hear from you--always.
It's storming here--humid, the whole nine yards--tornados and no power. They be messin with the rainforest and upper atmosphere with their mess---and the poor planet is all off balance weather wise. Anyhoo...stay cool sweetie. Love You.

I have always loved this song by Carl Thomas and Faith Evens, but this guy on the second video is a friend of mine on Youtube and he is a amazing singer, why he doesn't have a Recording Contract is simply puzzling...

Quincy Jones is thoroughly entwined in the musical background of my young adulthood. A genius of unique quality. I have been posting blogs and music throughout the years and decided to embark on the arduous but satisfying task of gathering some of it to remember the excellent legacy that he left.
