Respectfully, Claudia Leanner in her Ikettes days could sit on my face.

rewatched [with my mom :)] because my music teacher said she isn’t able to show this anymore and that makes me really sad because this documentary is really fucking great at showcasing the importance of black singers on music and how the industry really hasn’t respected them as they should be. also showcased how bad phil spector was and fuck phil spector we need more anti- phil propaganda
