  • love him so .. the world has lost ,,,

  • Check out Homes' hair.....

    This guy kicks azz.

  • Is it just me or does he fit the mannerisms of an old school Joker perfectly?

  • @TheMissCassia Yeah..a great performance. I saw an old interview of Callaway's in which he said that the reason why he used the phrase " hi-de-hi-de-ho " is because once in the middle of the song he forgot the words and improvised the rest of the way through. It sounded so good that he kept it in the act.

  • Such a wonderful camp performance .............. I love it!

  • This man was a great performer. He did the moon walk before Michael Jackson was even a thought in his parent's eyes. He swung blues and jazz like da Vinci slapped paint onto canvas.

  • @DonDubbelman He was high as a kite. That helped.

  • @bb4ll4sc : Maybe, and I am just saying MAYBE, he had a little chemical assistance(Smokey)....does not take away anything from his performance, though! :) Ha was wonderful and (way) ahead of his time, for sure!

  • @criceto Have you ever thought that they were two different persons, living in different periods of time and approaching different genres?! Why do you, little people, always have the urge of attacking Jackson?! Oh, yeah, you're always smarter when you sit aside, spittin your invalid opinions! Let's see how good you'll be compared to Jackson...
