Disrespectful Robert Townsend

[StuBass1]

I'm saying that the film was never purported to be a biographical or biopic project and while The Dells were admittedly a significant influence in the project, there are many discrepancies and dissimilarities to the Dells, including the lead singer of the group [[a most significant character) having little in common, either in appearance, vocal range and style, or stage presence, or alleged lifestyle to the great Marvin Junior [[definitely a David Ruffin persona IMO)... One must take the word of the projects creators as to what they had in mind when they did the film, but it was NOT a biography of the Dells and was most certainly a compilation of many groups from back in the day. As for percentages of influence...folks can spend the next century arguing about that...
