I know I didn't link that correctly but check out the picture on Wilson's Wiki bio... Kinda looks like Eddie Murphy doesn't he. Also Jimi played in Wilson's band on the chitlin circuit for a while. Plus I've seen that picture of the two of them together before... Game, Set, Match :)
Yeah, I see that now, but you've got me mixed up with the other guy on the thread. I'm the one who said the picture at post 1 wasn't Little Richard.
I honestly didn't know who it was.
