The look was classic Jody Watley solo debut style – edgy glam. A street style blend of the custom biker jacket and the vintage cocktail dress, the signature jumbo hoops, big hair and the winged liner, red lips. It’s a look still rocked today in a variety of forms by next generation and fashionista’s. The biker jacket is always a wardrobe staple.
Wattage!
Rest In Peace To The Architect of Rock n Roll. Originator. Innovator. Influencer
LITTLE RICHARD.
Little Richard was also a part of one of the great nights of my life and career, winning Best New Artist at The 30th. GRAMMY Awards in NYC and one of the broadcasts most legendary moments.
My condolences to his family, friends and loved one’s.
Rest In Peace and We Thank You For Blazing a trail that influenced and created a path for so many, including me to be my unique self regardless if credit is given for the influence. The fact that it was Little Richard that God, the universe aligned with The Recording Academy to make it be him on that night to make it not just another award handed out but a legendary television moment really I appreciate even more now looking back on it – Little Richard, the originator made me a double winner that night and forevermore.
A lot of laughs this day back in 1988 with on air personality/actor Jay Thomas and Little Richard at Los Angeles’ Power 106 Radio Station; when radio was Pop/R&B and Rock – this was not long after that legendary Grammy night — we were at Power 106 for interview with Jay, photo taken by Boomer Servantez another popular on air personality at the time. Rest In Peace Little Richard as well as Jay Thomas who passed away in 2017.
