It was the early '60s. The Apollo Theater th Street Harlem!
I remember I was wearing a pegged skirt at the time, the real tight kind that you could barelywalk inand high heels. It was not cold, maybe it was fall And then there was Jimi.
Iforget who started talking first, but sure put myself, in a position to get to know him.
Fayne Pridgon was in relationships with Sly Stone ( - ), Jimi Hendrix (), Sam Cooke (), Little Willie John () and Jackie Wilson.
Hedidn't cut much of a figure, though. He had processed hair and shiny black pants that showed where the knees bent-but he had something about him, a warmth, that none of the other fast-rapping dudes had. He thanked me for getting him backstage to see Sam Cooke.
He referred to Sam as what's-his-face, and he thanked me for getting him in to see what's-his-face.
We started to walk, me in that tight skirt way down to my mother's place on Central Park West. We didn't plan it.
