Roburt Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) Eli 'Paperboy' Reed & his band performed in New York last October. They did a set of soul & gospel tunes backing an old guy who at that time was just 84 years young. So, the old guy ain't in the best shape vocally any more ... BUT ... he still sings better than I ever will ... so give him a break .... ... AND ... give a listen to Roscoe Robinson as he sounds these days .......... https://www.mixcloud.com/elipaperboyreed/roscoe-robinson-live-at-rockwood-2/ Hell, I hope I'm still breathing when I hit 84 never mind trying to sing !!!

Guest Dave Turner Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Soul or Gospel, for me he's one of the greats At 84 you'd think he'd say "That's Enough" I'll get me coat
boba Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 a while ago someone told me Robinson makes his living hustling Pool which is pretty awesome
Robbk Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 a while ago someone told me Robinson makes his living hustling Pool which is pretty awesome Yes. To hold a steady stick in one's 80s is not easy to do. I can't do it in my mid 60s and I've never drunk much alcohol and don't have Parkinson's Disease.
