Apparently there was a typo "Ralph Sharpton" instead of "Al Sharpton", but it's been corrected. He took out ads in publications to boycott "Whitey" Houston, claiming she's making music for non-blacks. So ridiculous! But people booed her after this at the Soul Train Music Awards and it shows the clip in the film. So I wonder what Al Sharpton thinks about Sarah Vaughn, Nat "King" Cole, Tina Turner, Charley Pride, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Harry Belafonte and on and on....none of them made gospel or R&B records either. That was ridiculous and I wonder how I missed it back then. It was in the 90s.
