No one was. |

RIP Black Moses. I don't believe he ever took his showbiz persona seriously. |

What a day - each of them changed R&B, quite significantly in their time and to see them all live was mind blowing. Isaac was great but his band only had 'fake' horns and strings, via keyboards. Not the same at all. But a good guy, great songwriter and producer and the chucka-chucka of 'Shaft' will probably be around forever. |

I think he did have a sense of humor, and he also had the good sense not to take some of the image stuff too seriously. SRS |
