My aunt was our first person to share memories in our family chat, of WSSU homecomings with him always there in the 1970s and 1980s. And then the concert videos of the 1980s where everyone was so dressed up corporate, but bouncing.
As a millennial Southerner on the East Coast , this is just what the air sounded like, especially on Saturday afternoons when errands needed to be run and cookouts just popped up because it was hot and our parents wanted to grill in the summer.
Lovely recollections! And perfect highlights of what he meant, and encouragement to keep doing you even if it doesn’t get massive fame. The right people will always find you.
Oh man! I can only imagine the energy at those homecomings. I love that his fan base started to wear all white like him to the shows, I really wish I could’ve seen him Iive 😩
