Tried to post it earlier but thread was buried and I could not remember name to search



Exceedingly tough times for an effeminate gay wannabe raunchy black boy with a noticeable limp in the late 50s / early 60s ... . born into religious family .. beaten daily by his "bible toting" undeserving father for being outwardly gay



Somehow he overcame it all and went on to teach Jagger stage moves...conducted vocal lessons for McCartney ... Started Hendrix and ....had Beatles and the Stones serving as his opening acts ... taught and started many others who later became "stars" in our fickle world
