    It's not Curtis Mayfield in that scene ... the uncredited "big black man" was played by a Raymond Johnson.

  Never saw that one- will have to look into it!

Story is that"Out on the floor" was specially made for the movie, because of the reaction of film crew and the few people whe actually went to see it Charger records decided to release it. Well worth tracking down the clip from the film. Alternatively here's the complete film : You'll find track at about 1 hour 16 minutes.

The great[Ossie Davis]appeared on Bonanza back in the mid-sixties.

Ossie Davis also has a memorable part in the mid-60s Sean Connery British made flick "The Hill", about a British Army prison camp for British soldiers during WW2.

Luke Cage currently showing on Netflix and in the first 3 episodes - Raphael Saadiq, Faith Evans and Charles Bradley - all adds to an excellent show!!!

Sammy Davis Jr. appeared on The Rifleman...Lou Rawls was on The Big Valley.

Aki Aleong appeared in a number of movies. Do a Wiki search.

He also produced a personal fave of mine in Soulin and Rollin by the Trensaitions on the Minit label. He may even have been part of the group.
