Excuse my second posting but I wanted to talk about Nipsey Russell seperately. I remember being 7-8 years old and first seeing him on a Bert Convy hosted game show (I think most of them were then
) called,"Rhyme or Reason". The end of each show featured Nipsey reciting one of his "rhymes". I always waited for that part.
In one of our Christmas photos from then,the TV is in the shot and took apicture of that show (I can't remeber if he;s in the picture though.)
He was also on Match Game several times and made a movie in the mid-80s with Goldie Hawn called "Wildcats". Where he helps her out in becoming the 1st female coach of his team's school. Very good movie. I think he might have done,"To Tell The truth also.
I'll remember him most for that time when I was a kid though. It was cool to see a man express himself that way and not be embarrassed to do so.
Whatever the rhyme or reason,R.I.P Nipsey.
