The clip in this video is from the 1960s. She didn't play guitar like that until after it was popularized by Chuck Berry (who was also previously influenced by her). She was absolutely one of the (dozens) major influences of the artists that were marketed as "Rock'n'Roll, that were swept aside by the push to market the music as something new and fresh. You can find records from the 1930s that (more or less) sound like RnR. Check out "Roll-em Pete (1938). Chuck Berry's first hit "Maybelline" came from his adaption of a country swing song called "Ida Red" (1938). One definitely true thing is that black and/or female artists have generally been given less opportunity, recognition, and financial compensation than their white and/or male counterparts.

Funny from beginning to end!

Gullible

Part of the insurance company and uncle needs investigating regarding Aaliyah's life policy & death. Those older men acting like nothings wrong with Aaliyah being that young made me sick. It's difficult to watch.

I’m a white male that wonders when the white males will collectively pull their heads out of their insecure asses.

Absolute national treasure.

Instant classic

What a programme. The storylines are just as relevant today as they were in the late 1980s.

I lived two blocks away from the train depot, and worked at a spray paint factory. Rays spray shop. Shout out to R.O.T.T. RULERS OF THE TRACKS. CREW.

Corrupt rulers destroy the future of their country and the future of their people.

Increase more white beautiful people

Only 362,000 - 400,000 slaves were the total amount brought to British Americas. And probably half of those slaves were from Scotland. The Spaniards bought 4M slaves to the Caribbeans ➕ latin Americas And the Portuguese bought the slaves to Brazil 5 million

British did not bring 3 million slaves to the Americas that's a lie.

Blood on the dance floor is most favourite.

That was so good,💃👯💃👯

I watched this during the 1st run in the late 80’s and early 90’s, and it’s just as funny as I remember. What I didn’t appreciate (as I was too young) was Gloria and her figure 🍑 Good lord 🤯

Ed Koch is possibly the worst canine behaviourist I've ever seen in a graffiti documentary.

I'm proud to say that I'm the youngest child of an African American man who had enlisted in the U.S. Army in April 1943, one month shy of his 18th birthday, a high school graduate. A year later, his unit (segregated) would be fighting in France as a part of General George S. Patton's Third Army. My Dad would go on to fight in the Battle of the Bulge, one of the bloodiest battles in the history of the U.S. Army, march into Germany, and by V-E DAY (May 8th, 1945), he was in Czechoslovakia. He was then an NCO, a TEC4, and would receive an honorable discharge from the Army in Paris in July 1946. By then, my Dad spoke fluent French and Germany. He would always tell me that many of the African American soldiers he knew were adept at picking up foreign languages. I also had several uncles who fought in World War II. One was a decorated officer in the 92nd Infantry Division in Italy during 1944-45, where he commanded Company 'H'. He would later retire from the Army as a Colonel. Another uncle served in the Coast Guard. And another uncle served in the U.S. Naval Reserve. (What's more: my maternal grandfather - who passed away when I was in the 3rd grade on Memorial Day 1973 - had been a Corporal in the U.S. Army during World War I in France in 1918. I also had 2 paternal great uncles who fought in the great Battle of the Meuse-Argonne in the autumn of 1918 with the one African American infantry division to see combat on the Western Front.)

These were days of no phones and kids on the street hanging with their friends enjoying life. Every time I watch old videos like this I get depressed and it’s sad that we will never get these days back man.

So awesome thd Ital lifestyle where themselves grow their own plants, as nice farmers who cultivates their natural food no pestices or fertilizers on it everything respecting mother nature is awesome 😊
