Old School Friday: Found A Cure
Mrs. Grapevine announced that our theme this week is 'Perms'. The focus is on showing an artist with a perm hairstyle. If I could find a video with Morris Day singing 777-9111, that would have been my top choice. However, my second choice was anything showing Ashford of 'Ashford & Simpson' fame! Here is one of their best from back in the day. I hope you enjoy...

Perfect! That took me back - thanks Villager.
ReplyDeletei remember this song.
ReplyDeletei sent you an email.
Oh man! How could I have forgotten Nick Ashford? I don't know if that was Soul Glo or if it was a perm but it was tigggght and wet!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice. This was one of my faves by them.
He is indeed the ultimate "perm man." I did Little Richard, The "early temptations," The "early" isleys,and " Jackie Wilson."
ReplyDeleteBut you had a wonderful choice...love it!
The costumes always get me.
ReplyDeleteThis Friday was a scavenger hunt for me.
Much love
I forgot about Ashford, he should have been top on my list. But seriously, you're scaring me because my pick for the week is Morris Day.
ReplyDeleteHey Villager!
ReplyDeleteI watched Morris Day's Oak Tree last night and considered posting that one, but then I watched Frankie Lymon, the Temptations, and the 5 Heartbeats (That movie had the best perms ever!!) and decided not to post any of those!!
I love Ashford and Simpson! I think my favorite from them is "Send It".
Have a great weekend!
ha ha ha, those perms crack me up
ReplyDeleteMan! You can't forget about these two. Great choice-
ReplyDeleteGood choice Villager!!! The ultimate perm... the ultimate musical couple... the ultimate cut!SjP
ReplyDeleteNothing about the Sean Bell verdict? On the Village??
ReplyDeleteAshford & Simpson, one the best song writing duos in R&B!! I forgot he looked like Mufasa from The Lion King!!! LOL...sorry he does. But I did enjoy their music! Great pick!!!
ReplyDeleteVillager - Great choice, both the song and the perm! We actually posted Morris Day and James Brown over at our spot.
ReplyDeletePeace, DP
Okay. I must be the world's most naive person because I thought his hair was naturally straight. I have relatives that look like him, and their hair isn't permed!
ReplyDeleteOMG--forgot about Nick--he has rocked the same wet look perm for 30 years. My parents used to play them TO DEATH.
ReplyDeletegood choice :-)
Solid...solid as a rock...that's what this love is...
ReplyDeleteMy bad, you took me back a minute Villager.
If I had time to participate - maybe a little more before summer school starts - I would have nominated Verdeen White of Earth Wind and Fire.
That brother can still throw his locks around like nobody's business.
All - I've been pretty much out of pocket over the past 72 hours. I didn't have a chance to visit many other blogs. I'm in catch up mode now. I'm glad that I was able to play OSF though...
