My blogger sistah did a post on the death of Calvin Lockhart, which I knew NOTHING of until I read her post...I'm STILL broken up about it...cause Lawd knows I lubbed me some C.L...um, um, um. The Boy was just super bad. So to honor him AGAIN, (piggybacking off CC) here's a lil more Calvin (well as much as I can find)!
P.S. the below clip contain photo's of other icons as well with Sam Cooke on the cover (I LOVE HIM TOO) and I do believe that's Dinah Washington singing...enjoy!!!

nothing wrong with the piggy back option.
well researched post with the youtube, T.
Keep em coming.
I agree with DC, JMW - keep the love flowing! Brother Calvin's life nor death offered the shenanigans of our brother J.B. so, I guess the media didn't find him sensational enough. But, Calvin Lockhart deserves all the tributes we can provide! I'm loving yours, sis!
lol...well thank you guys; I'm just conditioned to giving acknowledgement where it's due.
thanks and... 'never have so few owed so much to so many' (calvin's word as he left the madam zenobia robbery)!
