Posted May 22, 201311 yr Eli 'Paperboy' Reed & his band performed in New York last October. They did a set of soul & gospel tunes backing an old guy who at that time was just 84 years young. So, the old guy ain't in the best shape vocally any more ... BUT ... he still sings better than I ever will ... so give him a break .... ... AND ... give a listen to Roscoe Robinson as he sounds these days .......... https://www.mixcloud.com/elipaperboyreed/roscoe-robinson-live-at-rockwood-2/ Hell, I hope I'm still breathing when I hit 84 never mind trying to sing !!!
