Yes, Houston - The Black Godfather is gracing us with his presence this Friday night!!! Houston's own, The Allen Oldies Band will be backin' up Andre Williams at the Continental Club and the show begins at 10 p.m. You don't know who he is? We'll hook you up. A ladie's man from way back, Andre was born in Bessemer, Alabama in 1936 and eventually ended up in Detroit, where he recorded over 50 songs for Fortune Records. He has worked for Barry Gordy and produced records for Stevie Wonder and Ike and Tina Turner. In addition to his own songs, he has written material for George Clinton's Funkadelic. Now, Chi-Town is where he makes his home. Some of his material includes "Shake A Tailfeather", "Bacon Fat", "JailBait" and "Pass the Biscuits". As if this weren't intriguing enough, you really need to see "raunch rock" for yourself, so head on over to the Continental Club for some serious good times tomorrow night.
If you were just wondering what to do with yourself prior to 10 p.m., dine at Tacos A Go-Go and hit the Continental Club early to warm up your groove thing to Houston's premier 80's band, Molly and the Ringwalds. They take the stage at 7:30 for a music and dance packed Happy Hour, and admission is free for their show - and we hear it's Jennifer Ringwald's birthday, so go help her celebrate! You pony up for The Godfather, prior to 10 p.m. - he's worth it ya'll, check it out!!!
