Title is too long...
Should have been:
“10 Celebs you didn’t know”
(ok...I knew 3 of them)
So we’re going by the 1% rule eh?
Might as well make Leif Eriksson black then.....(not sarcasm).....
Dickey Lee, great singer/songwriter. And very funny cutie pie. Had a big hit record in 1962 - Patches - not the same one I posted from Clarence Carter. But at the same time Patches was a hit, (which he didn’t write - that was Barry Mann - a song he had written, She Thinks I Still Care, was a giant hit by George Jones.)

I’ve loved him since I was a teenager, and revel in the fact that most of the world thinks he’s a one hit wonder, but he’s in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. (All those one hit wonders had to eat, you know.)
No offense....It was a general Who gives....not directed at you or anyone else in particular. :-)
Then she and Kerry’s kids are eligible for reparations.
Thank you for doing that. I'm feeling really depressed after watching some current events.
I always thought Maya Rudolph of SNL to be very pretty.
Octroons were always the most popular working girls in 19th century New Orleans. I expect that most of the women to whom you refer are octroons or quadroons.
I think you’re right. Then it was Rita Coolidge’s sister who was married to Booker T, just got them confused. Too much talent.
Never heard of any of them except Mariah Carey and Carol Channing.
Correction, full name, we are all Unarmed Michael Brown.
I think this could be a qualifier, if you only recognize two or three of the 10 celebrities, you just might be a Freeper.
My daughter is mistaken for Miss Jones frequently, and has even had paparazzi follow her and snap her photo. They eventually figure it out, but she has fooled many.
You are welcome.
I love Peggy Lipton’s style and grace. I will some day but her album. I bet she has a pretty voice.
A blight on the American scene for sure, and a whack job too.
Yes, they look very different than my friends and priests from Nigeria. And it always so strange to me when I see black people who hate white people, and obviously have white blood.
You are dearly welcome.
Maya Rudolph is very funny too. Remember that scene in Bridesmaid when she is dancing around the tree in the park?
Correction, fuller name, we are all Teenage Unarmed Gentle Giant Michael Brown.
You must be too young to remember Carol Channing. She was a songstress famous for playing in Hello Dolly.
That's one of my least favorite songs of all time because the protagonist is a coward with a third-rate mind. I fail to understand the song's appeal, yet it went to number six on the Hot 100 at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
This disc concerns a similar theme, but the protagonist, unlike the one in "Patches," is determined to prevail and pursue the American dream.
Midnight Mary--Joey Powers (1964)
Wrong picture for evidence. Check her awesome behind. That could have been a clue.
