I suppose he just wanted to keep up with the Jones's, and not loose his 'marketability'. Maybe he thinks an old looking white haired pop/soulman isn't going to keep packing them in the aisles. More of a reflection on the world as it is - as much as it is on GB unfortunately.

he did these surgeries while he was still a "young man".

Yes, I didn't realise. He must have been only in his late 40's early 50's when he started having work done.

This is from 1998ish.

Allee Willis, it says.

Yes. I can't believe it, she wrote 'September' and 'Boogie Wonderland' for EW&F and 'I'm so Excited' for the Pointer Sisters. Pretty funky lady :D

She's a product of Detroit, apparently. Detroit got it like that.

Listening to disc 1 of Andrew Hill's Mosaic Select 16, I was wondering if there are any known Francis Wolff photographs of Paul Motian from the January 16, 1970 session. All photos in the booklet come from 1967 sessions. And what about the 1969 sessions with string quartet?

All the picture links are broken. I guess Seibert left Mosaic and lost the ability to host these pictures? It's too bad. There were some great ones. I saved them all locally but I can't upload them "as is" because there's a file size restriction here.
