Just heard the ad for the new Kojack series. The theme song is Superbad by James Brown. Garruanteed the sound of soul will be heard across the land. Sam and Dave Temptations Smokey Robinson; Curtis Mayfield; yeah baby, who loves ya?
Jeez. This reminded me of something though. There was a character introduced on Kojack (I think) played by Roosevelt Greer whose name was Salathiel Harms. Harms was a modern bounty hunter. The character was written well and Greer was good in it. But nothing ever came of it.
Don't remmember that. But Rosy, maybe he just didn't need the work? I think the soul thing is a big goldmine ready to be worked; there is so much great music from Stax and Hi and roulette, lot of good stuff.
It was a great part. Harms only appeared a few times. He wore one of those little narrow-brimmed hats that accentuated his size all the more like a Giant Blues Brother. Quite frankly I don't think anyone else today could do the part. But that is because they are not bringing up the black actors to do these things. I have to admit that Ice Cube has grown into parts like the Barbershop films. But not many others come to mind... maybe one of the actors from _Kansas City_. That film had a bunch of great black character actors of the right size and style. I may not have the spelling right but Harms does explain his first name in one of those appearances. Salathiel was the Angel of Somethingorother-- anybody know?
