Famous for people not realising he was white until they saw this video


"My brother posted this this morning, and after 34 years I am just finding out that the man who sings 'what you won't do for love'.. is white. I....I called out of work today. I just.. I don't know who I am anymore. I don't know what's real, what's not. I just gotta get myself together, I feel throwed off. I didn't...this is.. I KNEW he was a black man. This man looks like indiana jones, and I don't know what to do with that."

really depressing to think about. what the point at being good at anything if you could still wind up like him?

he makes music seem like the grossest thing in the world. he makes being a musician seem like the most uncool thing you could be. worse than being a computer programmer.

I think he was more shocked to discover he looks like Indiana Jones - you missed off the best bit when he lists other whiteys who can sing like they're black; Eminem, Michael Jackson... think he might have another shock coming at some point.

To be honest I was always aware of that song, it's one of those ones that's just there, you can't say when or how you heard it but you've always known it and so has everyone else (I'd like to do a thread about those songs but I can't quite figure out the line of attack) - but I never really listened to it properly until Rashad sampled it.
