[Dameon Farrow]

[Budda]

I knew it would be that song.

It tricked me out, when I found out this song was made by a white man.

Simply red>>>>

 

[Lootha VanDraws]

Back in the day this song, believe it or not, got more play on black radio stations and clubs than it did on MTV and white clubs.



So did Madonna in the beginning of her career when she was a rising disco-pop star linking up wit Nile Rogers.

Can't forget first time I found out been around the world and nyah nyah nyah was a white British lady.

Another fun fact: rock and roll legend Buddy Holly was the first white act ever to be booked for the Apollo in 1957, and it was only because the owners mistakenly believed the were black R&B group until it was too late and the show had to happen. They were booed at first but the audience grew to enjoy them.

Elton John was the first white act ever invited to perform on Soul Train.

Lots of weird moments of white artists crossing into black music Without you even knowing!

Put some respeck on Lisa Stansfield's name

And it's been around the world and I, I, I ...

I didn't even know that Buddy Holly factoid

Used to have a lil crush on Taylor Dayne.

Donna Summer done bred her lineage out. Married a white dude and ALL OF HER DAUGHTERS married white men. Her grandbabies don't look black at all.

Her Daughter Sudano (played Junior's wife on My Wife and Kids).

Oldest Daughter Mimi Family

Youngest Daughter Amanda and Fam (Dude last name is Ramirez and he's Cuban. They have a group called JohnnySwim)
