A look back at 20th century African American pop culture: advertising, film, music, fashion and anything else I can get my hands on. All in good fun.

Verb! That's What's Happening

Singer Zachary Sanders (sounding a bit like Donny Hathaway) whips his way through the three-minute short, pushed and prodded by female background singers. That's what happening.
