Soul Men
Marcus Hooks
and the Real Deal, take 6.
- That's three names.
- You want me to sing the main line?
Oh, yeah, here we go, here we go.
Tonight we take a musical journey south,
where the legendary soul band
Marcus Hooks and the Real Deal
developed their signature sound.
1, 2!
# Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh #
They started out singing for pennies
on the street corners of Memphis.
# Pull the string #
# And I'll wink at you #
# I'm your puppet #
# Mm-hmm, yeah #
# If you want me to #
# I'm your puppet #
# I'm yours #
# To have and to hold #
# Darling, you've got #
# Full control #
# Of your puppet #
But by 1972,
Marcus Hooks and the Real Deal
had become one
of the biggest R&B acts in the world.
# Nothin' like sweet soul music #
all over the world.
They'd sold 6 million records
and influenced a generation
of American musicians.
# Dance to the sweet soul music #
# Yahh #
But that all ended on July 24, 1977,
when Marcus Hooks
began his solo career
with a dramatic concert
at New York's Madison Square Garden.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Marcus Hooks.
Marcus.
# Ooh-ooh-ooh #
Hey, boy, hi.
Hey, boy, dance.
Yeah.
But while Hooks
became a music legend,
the journey took
a decidedly different direction
for former band mates
Floyd Henderson and Louis Hinds.
Renowned for their
signature dance stylings
from their one
breakout hit, "Walk in the Park,"
the duo broke up in 1979.
Citing creative differences
and a desire to pursue separate projects.
Back off! Freeze!
Get your hands up! Let me see them!
Oh. Wait. Wait, wait.
It ain't... Ohh!
The gun ain't real! Ow! It ain't real! Ow!
I'm just broke, God it!
I ain't tryin' to hurt no!
Watch your damn hands!
Police mother brutality!
While Floyd Henderson...
Come on down to Floyd's Car Wash,
where everything is done by hand.
...combined his showmanship
with an entrepreneur spirit.
And don't forget about
Super Soul Sundays,
with a full body wash
to guarantee a free rimjob.
Come on. Get your rimjob.
Come get your rimjob.
Come and get your rimjob!
Whatever happened
to the forgotten duo...
The Real Deal?
Baby, turn the navigation on.
I hope we can find this place
sometime tonight.
He gonna love it there.
They got Craftmatic adjustable beds,
clap-on lamps.
Y'all better shut up back there,
I'm tellin' you.
and pop one of them little boys
upside the head so bad.
I think that's it, Uncle Floyd.
Whoo!
Now, I can't believe
I let you talk me into this bullshit.
What you talking about?
It's beautiful. You don't like this?
It's a death camp.
Oh, how is it a death camp, Unc?
We got 36 holes of golf.
Three swimming pools.
You know the ratio
of women to men here
is 5 to 1, Unc? 5 to 1.
That mean you got 'em everywhere.
You can't even move.
There's women...
Every time you look around,
women crawling between your legs,
arms, anything.
I mean, damn, Unc.
And if you're worried about the business,
I got that.
You taught me everything you know.
Yeah.
Yeah. You know something, son?
You're real crafty.
Appreciate that.
See, first you move into my house.
Then you take over my business.
- Aw, man, I ain't taking...
- Oh, yeah.
Then you move me
all the way out to the Valley, man,
so can't nobody hear me scream. Right?
Actually, that's why
we're moving you here.
So the nurses can hear your ass scream.
You remember you fell on that floor
for three days
- and couldn't nobody hear you.
- I remember.
Yeah. Now, stop being bitter, man.
