Guest Pointman Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 While rummaging through some files, I found this nice letter. https://bayoucitysoul.wordpress.com/2011/03/28/a-paper-trail-of-whoppers-and-toronadoes/

Guest Pointman Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Frazier had a real hustle going on back then. The man was going to get PAID. The Burger King is still there today to boot.
Steve G Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Love it. I did interview Cal Thomas for radio some years ago (Soul 24-7) and he gave a GREAT insight into the group and their touring round Tx. I must dig that out and republish.

Alan Walls Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Brilliant! I wonder how much of that $600 fee trickled down to the band?
Guest Pointman Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Brilliant! I wonder how much of that $600 fee trickled down to the band? As their agent, Frazier usually took 20%-30% of each gig. But the letter indicates that Frazier appeared there as well, meaning he likely acted as an emcee for the event or in some promotional capacity. He was quite the popular radio deejay at the time, so that would make sense.I'm sure he took a fee for that too.
