  • part two...

    i always went to the sugar shack in columbus ohio...and wayne played there a couple times a year.. he was like from another planet..

    we looked on dumb struck...

    but he rocked the place!

    tore out the ceiling...broke out some lights....walked on tables and poured whiskey in every ones beer..

    he was wild and funky...outa this world.

    so glad to have seen him!!

  • Jaco Pastorius and I were room-mates on the road with this band for about a year. There is no way I can describe it. as Jaco said years later, it was the greatest rock and roll horn band ever - period.

    In the video you will see glimpses of Don (T-Don) Capron, who was with Wayne forever, and some other musicians who would go on to be the greatest session players in rock and roll history.

    How did the world miss this great band?  Most people saw us in rough roadhouses in the midwest.

  • @Manbi LMAO!!!

  • I thought the punk rockers hair style from the 80s were original, but I can see who started the look. this guy is super bad.

  • OK, who bleached James Brown?

  • The white James Brown?

    

  • Great to see these old video's of Wayne and the CC Riders. We used to go to the Barn a few times a month at least. He used to break out the ceiling tiles (soft stuff though) and we all danced our brains out. He used to finish the show with Please, Please, Please from the master of soul, James Brown. We missed the best show ever done there. Wayne and James Brown on stage in the barn on 79th St. causeway. GREAT TIMES WE HAD.

  • I don't know him, honestly, but doesn't he look like the Wizard of Oz? Who was that, Walter Huston?

  • I played music & lived in Naples, Fl. in the early 70's. I was off on Sunday nights & I would drive to Miami to the 7 Seas Lounge to see him. Always a Great Show!!!

  • I saw Wayne in "his" night club on the 79th st causeway in Miami in 1965. He was billed as the "father of blue eyed soul" what great music!

  • @saxtek wow.

  • holy crap, is he serious with this?
