Just seen this and never knew it existed. Its not a Blaxploitation joint.

Prime Bill Dee right after Lady Sings The Blues.



I liked dude in Mahogany, Berry Gordy in The Jacksons, and OG Harvey Dent in Batman/Returns.

    i remeber him from some movie of the week thing fromt he 80's were he played this grizzled old jazzman mentoring some up and comer...what sticks with me is that they did a bunch of scenes with billy dee just ripping it up on piano.

    Serious and comic relief. A couple of "nigga what" thrown in. Prime Pryor at '73.

    It might be his only action joint.

    He was also a Prestige recording artist.
