As you may have read
by now, the group
whom damn near ALL
OF US have come to
know, love & accept
as The Persuaders,
that would be THE
BAD BOYS FROM NEW
YORK...Richard,
David, Tony, Evan &
Alex (R.I.P.), lost
the right to call
themselves who we
know in our HEARTS
they deserve to be
called. Call 'em
what you wanna call
them, because we
know what's up with
that.
They say "Be careful
what you ask for" &
that proved to be so
true last night, as
The Ultimate
Persuaders fea.
Richard Poindexter
absolutely TORE THE
ROOF OFF THE
JOINT!!! There's a
group out there who
should be thanking
their lucky stars
that they hit the
stage BEFORE & not
AFTER The
Ultimate Persuaders
Fea Richard
Poindexter did.
Nuff said about
that.
Last night THE
PEOPLE OF HARLEM
SPOKE...
AND CHEERED...AND
STOMPED...AND
YELLED!!! FOR A
LONNNNNNNNNNG TIME!
And screamed &
shouted until The
Bad Boys From New
York, Richard,
David, Tony, Evan &
yes, Alex, too,
THE ULTIMATE
PERSUADERS FEATURING
RICHARD POINDEXTER,
came back on stage
to give them an
encore performance
of "Sunshine".
Richard, David &
Evan were hitting
that harmony, Evan
was hitting high
notes & had the
ladies screaming &
Tony absolutely
ripped them a new
one.
The love that they
received from the
crowd was
mind-blowing.
Everyone was to sing
ONE song & that was
it. But as they used
to say back in the
days before I was
born, The
Ultimate Persuaders
absolutely WRECKED
the house. I could
see in Tony's eyes
before they even hit
the stage, that on
this day, he was
taking no prisoners.
And he didn't &
The Ultimate
Persuaders
didn't.
I'm not going to go
any more into depth
about what happened
on that stage. Hell,
nearly all of
Harlem, radio
personalities &
fellow entertainers
spoke loud & clear
about what they saw
& heard. And someone
has the footage on
tape & this is one
that I wish that I
had taped.
