R.I.P.....Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner

A little late...but let us pay our respects.

From GaPeach913:

Official Family Announcement of the Passing of Leroy Sugarfoot Bonner

Yesterday, Leroy “Sugarfoot” Bonner passed away quietly in his hometown of Trotwood-Dayton, OH. While his family, friends, colleagues, and fans mourn his passing they celebrate fondly his memory, music, and legacy.
Sugarfoot, or Foot, or Sugar, was the founding and cornerstone artistic talent of OHIO PLAYERS and the face and sound of the OHIO PLAYERS brand, which he knit together and launched in 1964 with former members of The Ohio Untouchables. With a career spanning 56 years, he passed barely short of his 70th birthday.
Humble yet charismatic, soft spoken and of few words, the weight of his thoughts, lyrics, and music has influenced countless other artists, songs, and trends. He will be missed but not forgotten as his legacy and music lives on. More details and an official historical perspective of his career will soon be forthcoming.

His Facebook page is available to all to post comments, reflections, and testimonials of this wonderful and gifted man: https://www.facebook.com/sugarfootsohioplayers

Where's the Gray?


Maybe I'm jealous.......

Or .....at the least a little skeptical. The artist known as Prince just turned 50. 50! As in 50 years old. I reached that half a century age a year ago.

My gray hairs......arrived a few years earlier. That "Purple Rain" stuff must work wonders. How can one man retain such boyish looks?

Face lifts? Hair dye?

Since the early days with ......."Prince & the Revolution".......my man has not changed at all .

50?

50?

I still can't see it........But .......one day, Prince............it'll all catch up to .....even you. We will all get old.....at some time.

And even you.....will eventually gray.
