I remember the commercials when I was a kid in the very late .70’s early 80’s in the NY Metro area.
It was funky. I wanted to go because Mike Jackson was in it and the pretty lady that sang “bad girls” also had a part. I thought she was pretty(Donna summers of course)
What’s next? Botching about a non white jazz omsombo?
Frankly, people of African origin do great stuff too!
The Wiz is R&B!
Sincerely,
A white dude.

The Wiz didn't have Donna Summer. It was Stefanie Mills on Broadway and Diana Ross in the film.
They should have let Geoffrey Holder reprise the role he created on film. He was a perfect Scarecrow.
