Lola Falana!

This, right here, is why Lola was known as "The First Lady of Las Vegas." She's thrilling to watch. From one of her TV specials.

[@debbiehines4609]

They don't make 'em like this anymore. Straight-up class act!

[@TC-ym1vk]

They absolutely do make them like this. This genre has been erased by men. Blame yourself 😂😂

[@jimdkc]

I once went to Las Vegas in the 1970's. I had done pretty well gambling, and I decided I wanted to see a Las Vegas show. I ended up going to Lola Falana's show. She was phenomenal!

So the singer Munilong just recreated this last nite on the BET AWARDS. As soon as I saw her massive pink feather skirt,I new what was up. It was nice to see a younger generation paying homage to Lola Falana,but I'm sure most in the audience didn't get the connection.

When I was a kid, I remember seeing her on different television appearances.. she was so BEAUTIFUL and wildly sexy and CLASSy and this crazy Vegas Production... I kinda miss this glossy stuff. Plus.. she doesn't look like she's 12 years old. Performers didn't have to then.
