his other big hit... was also pretty catchy

haven't listened to either of these tuns in forever. it's interesting to hear them now and just how like straight ahead radio rock they are. kinda built for MTV and the radio...

he was my dad's favorite actor after purple noon, but i remember he had recently come out as supporting certain "extreme far right causes" and had some equally questionable opinions

When we were teenagers one of our mates couldn't remember James Earl Jones' name and described him as the black guy from all the films (not insulting him, pure respect for his legend) it took us a few guesses to get to JEJ

RIP to the black guy that used to be in all the films

Sam Jackson and Densel Washington gonna have to duke it out to take up the mantle

he was an EGOT winner. immortalized to generations with his voice work but a total legend regardless.

I totally forgot he had a small role in Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove. He was one of the co pilots flying with Slim Pickens in the bomber.
