I thought Teena Marie was black, but really light-skinned.
I thought the same about Pink when she first came out on the R&B singles.
Damn, how did I forget about her. I remember when I first saw her in that video a couple of years ago...I was saying to myself, 'My, she has some features similar to a black woman'.
I suppose so? This thread went from talking about hearing music and making assumptions about skin color to calling dudes who you KNOW are of a particular race something that they clearly aren't, based on sterotypes. You make the call.
other that those who are in question because of their fair skin, what is it about these folks that made them more black than white or more white than black?

i'm surprised no Soul-strutters have been mentioned in this category
He's not? I saw him a few years a go and he looked pretty caucasian.
his folks are black, I believe, and he says he is black.
Must be the one-drop rule.
I thought Jarrett was white(ish) and LLoyd was black. I may be wrong....
how the HELL could you think TP was a country singer??
do you mean Charley Pride?
No, he's just light.
He's a black man.
Yeah, Jackie could have easily passed back in the day.

Frank Jackson. What is he? I don't know.
Listen to him speak though.
Listen starting at 2:09 (or about the last 1/4 of the segment)
Listening to him you'd think he was Isaac fucking Hayes or something.
"Gimme Some Lovin'" Spencer Davis Group
"Pretty Flamingo" Manfred Mann
"How Long" Ace
"Girl Watcher" O'Kaysions
