I will give him credit for booting Daddy's ass out of Cohearant Audio. So maybe he does have some good qualities.

You think the actor who played Barry White's back puts that on his resume? I think that's Hoofer blacked up

I actually got the notion into my head to go look at pictures of Barry White's right hand, to see if he wore all that bling. I could find no evidence that he did. All the pics I saw had no rings on the right hand, or just one on his little finger. So, someone at Audio Fidelity had to make the conscious decision to make the stand-in wear all that bling, I guess because all black artists wear lotsa bling.

Maybe I'm a bit slow but I'm just realizing that Barry White was already 11 years gone from this world when that video was made. That's pretty fucked up.

Just searched for "Barry White Soul Train" at YouTube to see he'd be wearing there, as most folks seemed to get gussied up for their appearances on that show. Barry is wearing quite flashy outfits – including a couple of huge rings. The video (from a 1975 appearance) was posted in 2013 – making it something AF could have seen when doing [ahem] "research" for their epic.

Well okay...but going on "Soul Train" is one thing, and visiting Audio Fidelity's shack is another... Most people hide their valuables in that neighborhood. However, I will give Audio Fidelity the benefit of the doubt on that, and simply call the video preposterous and cringey on the basis of overall ambiance and doofiness.

Right, whether or not the bling is historically accurate, the body double is basically the live-action version of this:

More like Dr Groove heading the mastering department at Whitey studios.
Now one of you detective types go figure out who Mr. Record is...

That is a hilarious picture of Bob. I like that you referred to him by just his first name. Must be as good as STEVE.
