Sad news. The woman with the biggest hair on Soul Tain in 1971 has shimmied her way off to Fabulon!
She may only be well-known for one song - but what a song to be remembered by..!
RIP, Jean Knight (born Jean Caliste, 26th January 1943 – 22nd November 2023)
I LOVE this song. So much fun to see the video (I remember seeing her on Soul Train). That was one helluva wig.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised she wasn't in a neck-brace after wearing it! Jx
DeleteGood heavens, I had no idea that much hair was involved.
ReplyDeleteMore hair than Chewbacca and Cousin ITT combined... Jx
DeleteI was wondering why she doesn't have any Safety Gays, but then realised that they're partying in her hair!
ReplyDeleteThose fairies are desperately trying to flap their way out as we speak, sweetie! Jx
DeleteLove this track and she looks fab But -
ReplyDeleteShe ain't no First Lady, is she !
No siree. She's a hair hopper, that's what she is!
"All ratted up like a teenage Jezebel." Jx
