MIDDLE AMERICA IS IN A BAD WAY AND NEW WORLD AFRICAN AMERICA IS ADDRESSED IN THIS SONG BY THE RELIGIOUS SONGSTERS DAWKINS & DAWKINS - "GET DOWN" -

You peeps out there are gonna have a lotta mental fun tearin' this one apart. We thinks.

For instance . . .

Does the actor wearing the OBAMA '08 T-Shirt mean that the Black American Establishment has doubts about the current U.S. Prez now?

Should the placement of the video's movie posters (name-wise) be seen as social comment?

Can the two entertainers [Dawkins & Dawkins] still wear fine threads and jewellery in an up-to-date studio environment while they sing about other peoples' troubles (with money and careers) and not be seen as callous.

I'm sure you'll see many other things to ponder in this new video of a good piece of music from a popular Gospel duo.

THEOPHILUS LONDON creating trouble w/ "I WANT YOU" - You dirty little bugger, leave that innocent chile' alone! - - dir. VASHTIE

HE'S NEW WAVE.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT SOME WOULD WANT YOU TO BELIEVE.
BUT, THIS YOUNG BROTHER IS SEEPED IN SOUL.
YOUNG BROTHER THEOPHILUS LONDON.
THIS ISN'T ON THE WAGRadio TOP FIFTY BUT IT SHOULD BE . . .

Writing on the blog " Wine and Bowties", Theophilus sez, "I bought every single Marvin Gaye record I could find.. and spent an entire 2 months listening while working on my album in L.A. I then brought the seperate parts from the original song "I Want You" by Marvin and recorded my verse and singing in London, England.

I put all the different instruments together for the new wave version.

I just want girls to wake up and put this on! Eat their breakfast, smoke their brains out and enjoy "I Want Yuu".

THAT THE ORIGINAL HOST OF GROOVIN' BLUE - BILL REITER . . . FOUND THIS ALBUM TOSSED INTO THE GARBAGE ONE NIGHT AT RADIO STATION CFUN WHEN HE CAME IN TO BEGIN HIS SHIFT AS HOST OF THE MIDNITE SHOW.

He is still known by some (to this day) as

BILL REITER - THE ALL-NITER . . .

ANYWAY, EVEN THOUGH THE ALBUM, BY AN ALL-TIME NEW WORLD AFRICAN MUSICAL HERO - MR. ANTOINE DOMINO - WASN'T WHAT MR. R. WAS LISTENING TO AT THE TIME (1971), HE COULDN'T BRING HIMSELF TO LET IT LIE IN THE BIN OF SHAME and RESCUED IT FOR HIS COLLECTION.
