Guest woolie mark Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Dick Gregory's "Slim Safe Bahamian Diet" video Has anybody got a copy of this, or a recording of Candi Staton's orginal vocals from the video?

Thanks for your support mate, but this is a bit of a long shot. I've never seen one. I've never been able to find a soundfile, and the video is probably on some old US betamax format or something. I wonder if the mastertapes survived? I believe that Ms Staton remembers recording it in a studio in Chicago. It would have been in the early to mid-eighties probably. Of course it wouldn't have been titled "You got the love", it probably has something like "sort yourself out you fat bastard" written on the tape label. Sorry if that sounds a bit harshly cruel, but the story is that the model for the video (Big Ron) had to have the door frame removed from his apartment so they could get him out to do the filming! Anyone? Edited May 15, 2018 by woolie mark
