Damn, is that bad or is that bad! Teresa's was the real thing back then-one of the first clubs I ever visited in the 70s. Spent New Year's Eve there-a "young" white kid, about the same age as Billy Branch. IEveryone took me under there wing: Billy and I hund out as fellow harp players, Lacey put me up at "his" apartment, the folks warned me not to step outside at midnight 'cause people would celebrate by shooting their pistols, and even if they shot upward the bullets had to come back down! YO!
He excelled at everything he pursued. Bass, songwriting, poetry, singing, producing, talent scouting. That woman in the beginning was disrespctful to Willie. Oh well he's a legend she's a bartender.
I cannot find this film in any search..."The Facts of Life" was a TV show in 1982...please help!
