      I love how they are natural but still have on make up and are dancing and expressing emotions yet are classy and sexy and strong yet feminine. It was a great time to be part of the ADOS COMMUNITY. Everyone seem to understand the struggle and not out for quote "number one" ie their own selfish personal gain. There was a pride in being an "everyday people" Like the song by Sly and the family stone Sang. However there were also forces in play that would undermine all those COMMUNITY values mainly greed lack of education and all types of covert actions by the government to infiltrate and and undermine many of the community groups like the black panthers and the SCLC THE URBAN LEAGUE AND THE GENERAL TARGETING OF ADOS COMMUNITY WITH THE INFILTRATION OF DRUGS AND GANG VIOLENCE

    So 1971- dig the hot pants! I used to hear this on the radio when riding the bus to school. Late 60s to mid 70s Soul is my favorite kind of music.

It was the same day that Tricia Nixon had her Rose Garden Wedding at the White House. Wonder if Tricky Dick was helping his daughter Tricia with the 'Want Ads' 😂.
