Old School Friday – Child Singers

Here we are and it’s Friday once again. Where does the time go? This weeks theme is Child Singers. So, let’s start this off with a little Miley Cyrus…just kidding. I love y’all too much for that. Here we have Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers performing “Why Do Fools Fall In Love.”

Aren’t those little boys cute as all get out? I’m feelin’ those sweaters with the “Ts”. Hahaha!

I can’t do this without some Lil’ Stevie. Here’s his first hit, also done at 13, “Fingertips.”

I can’t resist this one. New Edition’s first hit, “Candy Girl.”

Happy OSF Y’all! Thanks for playing, and as always, much love to all the other OSF participants.

Afro-punk Vids!

Afro-Punk 2008

Tip o’ the hat to PurpleZoe. I hadn’t been to the Afro-Punk site in a while. Shame on me. Now I see that they have been busy uploading tons of video over there. Noice. You need to go check it out.

This got me thinking about The Bellrays, leaders of the soul-punk revolution. As they say on their website, “Blues is the teacher. Punk is the preacher.”

I’ve always loved drummer-singers. Check out The Carps.
