That Brother Malik seems like quite a fellow.

[@Pirate7X]

He is. Fomerly known as Tony King he was an actor in the mid-70's best known for playing Satin Struthers in the original film version of "Sparkle" with Irene Cara, Lonette McKee, Dwan Smith, Dorian Harewood & Philip Micheal Thomas.

[@lilramogillead7207]

Tony King was also in GORDON'S WAR, SHAFT, BUCKTOWN, HELL UP IN HARLEM and even had a small part in THE GODFATHER in the horse stable scene wearing the gray cap at the movie director's house out in HOLLYWOOD.
