A lot of bad things happened to me when I was drinking...I havent had a drink in almost a year...Im not depressed anymore and things have become so much clearer.
@RhynoZeroBlade Oh, and cigarettes will absolutely NEVER be banned, it's a gigantic industry. Like how we've had access to alternatives to oil for years now, but cars are still powered by gas...We will never truly abandon the oil companies because that would leave a huge dent in federal tax money, and leave thousands and thousands without work. Maybe its unfortunate, but thats Capitalism for you.
Part 3 The last things I want to say about Paul art these: Paul wasn't just put out of the group. After he was no longer able to perform with them, he stayed on as and advisor and a choreographer. And I don't believe the man committed suicide. If you are so distraught that you are going to kill yourself, and you happen to be right handed; are you actually going to pick up a gun and shoot yourself in the left side of your head? Something smells real fishy.
Part 2 I don't want to excuse alcohol abuse are try to say that it's alright if you are sick; that's not what I am trying to say at all. Paul just added another problem to the one that he had already. I had to make a comment because I don't think it does any justice to this man's memory for the people who made this mini series to graze over his illnesses like they did and just paint him as a fall down drunk. When the doctor said he was a sick man, he was really sick.
People; whenever you see a bio-pic like this, my advice is do research into these people yourself because of the sheer fact that Hollywood has a tendency to over exaggerated or to take things out of preposition for effect or to make it interesting. Even to the point that the will leave out certain information that will be left out. What they didn't say in the movie was that Paul Williams had a dependency on alcohol because he was self medicating himself. The man had sickle-cell anemia.
Thanks for the message people that never had to battle alcohol the way some of us have had to and what it has cost and taken from us could never truly know or grasp how it destroys people and yes including drugs so if some one can learn from his life and prevent the same mistakes thank god
This whole thing about " Don't drink " was stupid. Using him in a way that was negative is just Heartless,( it's a movie ) everyone drinks, it's a matter of drinking responsibly. Bottoms Up !
@crazysexy313 I am Gussing that because Paul and Eddie grew up together in Alabama and came to Detroit together that term "Poopie" was a nickname of his!!!
@stayhungry ahh: It's called "For once in my life" Paul sang that song on national tv and it was the first time anyone could tell that Paul had a problem because he was struggleing a lot to sing
It's not a sickness man. It's an addiction. He had sickle cell anemia. That was his sickness. But he was an alcoholic before that. SO therefore....his sickness isnt being abused. It's his addiction. This whole movie should also be an example about using drugs in general (David Ruffin)
I love the bond that eddie and paul share, all of us need someone like eddie when we're falling down like that. Two of my favorite temptations, and definite legends:)
@BlkJag08 He suffered with Sickle Cell Anemia and used alcohol as a means of pacifying his pain. I don't know why this wasn't documented within the film because in my opinion, he was inadvertently misrepresented as an aimless alcoholic. His story is unfortunate indeed. A great voice.
i agree with u Grumberf, thanks to alcohol my father chose beer instead of our family and my parents; its sad when a marriage ends but its more sad when me and my sister want them to divorce, i only approve of champagne and wine; other than that all alcohol and cigarettes should be illegal
@RhynoZeroBlade I Don't Aprove Any Drug I'll Should Destroy and bann ever singel Bottle and Cig and Dope anything that makes people turn agains eatch others
Im pround Sober man! I live a happy life and Drugs don't make a man happyer! It's the people around the man that makes Life*!
@Grumberf if we banned everything that turned people against one another we'd have to start infringing upon peoples rights because peoples writings, words etc etc can be used to turn people against each other.
@Grumberf With all due respect I have to disagree. The only vice I have in nicotine, and heroin took my father's life. But that being said, I believe that nothing happens in this world without purpose. For example, marijuana doesn't just accidentally alter the brain, it's meant to be that way. And I also went through a horrible back surgry that I couldn't have made it through without pain pills
@Grumberf I've seen lives ruined by substance, but there's also people like me who have experimented and maintained control. Again, I'm living sober too, except nicotine, which may cause physical harm, but doesn't dominate the user's life like alcohol or narcotics.
As firmly as I believe that you don't need drugs to be happy, I also believe in freedom of choice. While I don't support drug use, it should be up to the people, not the government. Adults should choose to do what makes them happy
@Grumberf "anything that makes people turn against each other"
Cigarettes don't exactly fit that criteria. It's not like heroin trade. And people aren't getting shot down in the streets over a pack of cigarettes. The only problem with nicotine addiction is the health risks. Caffeine can cause cancer, should caffeine be illegal too? No, it shouldn't
Just to be honest right here. I hate cigs and every drug. but marijuana doesnt make u turn on anyone. It actually makes u feel good its not something you use to escape from something but its used to have a good time. As for beer, the same goes for it but u just have to use it rightfully not like a stupid person.
@RhynoZeroBlade My father drank and he was always in my life and lived with me and my mom and was a great provider and role model. Simply because people have addictive personalities doesn't mean that things need to be banned. Some people know how to drink responsibly and shouldn't be punished for the actions of some ass holes who don't and that goes for drugs too. Drugs are banned in america but the amount and quality reaching america is getting greater with each passing year.
@SLRok Well put. Another example is firearms. A killer is a killer whether they use a gun or fishing wire.These things were put on Earth for a reason. I believe that the government should educate the public more and leave it to the people.
@RhynoZeroBlade champagne and wine are abused too. I have a big problem with this...a rule with exceptions should not constitute a rule at all.
While the PSA was appreciated, I think it's pretty tasteless to post "Think, Don't Drink" over the guy's face. As other's have stated here, alcoholism wasn't his real problem. Statements like the one you posted just makes Paul look worse than he may have really been :(
Even though I choose not to partake..I have to admit in MODERATION drinking is actually a good thing.Drinking is a proven social lubricant.Now that dosent mean go out there and drink yourself into a coma, or vomit.MODERATION is the key word here
LOLZ! When the scene where Paul fell on the piano.
"You're making a scene."
"Making a scene? What- what you mean I'm making a scene, huh?"
"That's enough poopie." <-- LOLZ!! Poopie?
"Eh eh Eddie get up off me man. Listen. Listen man! Eh, I sing this on national TV. Now I can't sing it at Mama's house. Mama. Mama! Wait wait. I sing this on national TV. I said... GET YO- can I sing "Lead" in your house Mama? MAN WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, MAN!!" I know drinking isn't funny but I cracked up at that.
@DaveWollenberg from the movie it looked like he started drinking when they went out on the road. When they first showed them on the road, it showed him refusing a drink, and then the next time, they showed him drinking his own booze.
"Let me tell you something alright.....YOU BETTA LEAVE ME ALONE, alright??" ROTFL alcoholism isnt funny but the acting is im sorry lol. ROTFL @ HOW HE COLLAPSES ON THE PIANO!!!
actor playing the manager is so annoying. I have to agree with Eddie when he says Otis was full of shit when it came to being all for the group. Could've fooled me..he was always ready to fire somebody or force them out. And Melvin wasn't exactly the assertive type so it was pretty much like David said, "whatever you say Otis" when it came time to boot someone out. Since the movie was adapted from Otis' book,more than coincidental that only he&Blue are portrayed in a positive light..
Good point about the drinking... but did Ottis ever lead a song?...cuz thru the whole moving he never lead one but he was like the back bone of the group...he kinda like made all the decisions thats kind of unusual
Okay, who is playing the piano here? More than once both of Paul's hands come off the "piano" and the piano music is still playing. They should have shot this better.
@Desiree50 No That's Tracy Ellis Ross, she was on the t.v. show "Girlfriends" for 8 years. The woman playing Otis's wife Josephine is an actress named Gina Gavera. Hope that helped (:
@BriapcdOTH902102388 hi friend look good on the credits its says Rhonda Ross Kendrick.i m shure Rhonda married a jazz musician with that last name,peace Desiree.
@Desiree50 Thanks for catching that, you're right Tracy is Diana's daughter with Robert Ellis Silberstein. Rhonda's father is Barry and she is married to a jazz musician. Rhonda plays Maxine in the movie. Thanks for the reply (:
Thanks, Grumberf for uploading the videos and giving the little notice about drinking. Anyone who complains about the warning must not realize what it's like to have a alcoholic, abusive, father like myself....
-_- paul williams is my little cousin's uncle. when i saw this video for the first time..i was like..damn. it's different looking at this shit on the movie. being the fact that i wasn't there in that era.. i only heard about it when my dad told me. i wish i could have had the chance to meet him. but my dad knew both eddie and paul personally.they all went to the same highschool.so that's as good as it got for me.
Of all the times I've heard this song I still can never figure out what the couple of words are right before "All these things I can do." Honey woman. I'm down hearted. What is it?
@Grumberf thanks for the warning I too hate drugs and wish for a world with no drugs, it's sad that people never appreciate their live. And by the way, is this the extended version? Because i had the movie but i've seen a few scenes that now make sense to me.
I realy dont care 2 drink but a cold beer on a hot summer day ok other than that i really dont like 2 drink Drugs r bad realy bad mkayy WEED IS GOOD (not a drug)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hey gumberf..lose ur fuckin homo accent...nothin wrong with drinkin...do so in moderation...and definitely dont drink and drive...like im gonna take advice from some youtube pimp
@guytoncm19 i dont give a fuck what you think...block me...who gives a fucking shit...its fucking youtube..if you're gonna post a fuckin movie...then post it...a public service announcement and no further movie parts is asking for criticisms...look at all the other fucking comments...im not making it up...i'll buy the the fuckin movie...i just wanted to see it spur of the moment..
ive got this flim so i dont care if he uploads the rest or not i can just watch this flim on dvd thats what so good about having the flim you can watch it when ever you want so just buy the flim if you want to watch it badly or if you have sky just record it and watch it on sky
a lot our blk good singlers back in the 50's & 60's &70's lost their life behind drugs & drinking,so plz if you a singler are a perfomer take note to this...i miss a lot of them
@guytoncm19 brotha.........calm da hell down. 1. ya lazy ass can buy it yaself 2 to begin with TO BEGIN WITH. its not even supposed to be on youtube so he's risking his account so dont roll up on his vid and start whinin when he took the damn time to upload something thats been on tv what like 3-4 times this week. there aint no damn way you miss a 4 hour movie
A lot of bad things happened to me when I was drinking...I havent had a drink in almost a year...Im not depressed anymore and things have become so much clearer.

@Desiree50 No That's Tracy Ellis Ross, she was on the t.v. show "Girlfriends" for 8 years. The woman playing Otis's wife Josephine is an actress named Gina Gavera. Hope that helped (:

@Desiree50 Thanks for catching that, you're right Tracy is Diana's daughter with Robert Ellis Silberstein. Rhonda's father is Barry and she is married to a jazz musician. Rhonda plays Maxine in the movie. Thanks for the reply (:

Thanks, Grumberf for uploading the videos and giving the little notice about drinking. Anyone who complains about the warning must not realize what it's like to have a alcoholic, abusive, father like myself....

-_- paul williams is my little cousin's uncle. when i saw this video for the first time..i was like..damn. it's different looking at this shit on the movie. being the fact that i wasn't there in that era.. i only heard about it when my dad told me. i wish i could have had the chance to meet him. but my dad knew both eddie and paul personally.they all went to the same highschool.so that's as good as it got for me.

Of all the times I've heard this song I still can never figure out what the couple of words are right before "All these things I can do." Honey woman. I'm down hearted. What is it?

@Grumberf thanks for the warning I too hate drugs and wish for a world with no drugs, it's sad that people never appreciate their live. And by the way, is this the extended version? Because i had the movie but i've seen a few scenes that now make sense to me.

5:30, that part is sort of funny, it sounded like Paul was shouting out at somebody instead of singing.
