"Sugar Chile" Robinson

[JSngry]

Supposedly made over $100K/yr before reaching teendom, and then nothing. Dropped by Capitol, and no more gigs. Yet he survived, stayed sane & healthy and lives still, apparently fairly recently returning to performing.

YouTube clips and such available w/o too much effort.

Discuss, or not.

Sugar Chile and Basie! (I assume the video is out there. Be warned: gunplay.)

I've got virtually all of Sugar Chile's recordings. Don't ask me why.

Fascinating rumors about womanizing, cigar smoking and mis-statement of true age. Great musician? Genius? Prodigy? Perhaps one out of three, if I'm feeling generous.

I've never been to the YouTube website before, but a quick look-around and I couldn't find the "gunplay" video. Essential Sugar Chile Robinson material! I hope to have access to my collection soon and might feel ambitious enought to convert the 16mm to video to YouTube. If someone else locates this material on-line, let me know.
