Many of talk about the music and movies of yesterday: how good the talent was back then, how much they seemed to care about their craft and how bad we wish we could have been part of it at some point.  But was anyone taking stock with how fine some of them men were back in the day?  It’s no wonder that their shows would sell and women would throw their underwear at them while they were on stage or at a movie premiere. Check out our short list of old school actors and singers who were pretty easy on the eyes back in the day. Who’s your favorite old school artist or actor?

    Ok I had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA that that was James Earl Jones, he was HOT!!!

  • DrennaB

    Okay, I’d never heard of Calvin Lockhart so I just looked him up. Ouuuuweeeee!

    You know, James Earl Jones IS handsome on that picture, and I’ve never even been into light-eyed guys. But, a few years ago while watching ‘Claudine’, I got a little turned on by him because…he looked like he could lay it down.
    My best friend in junior high used to wish that Billy Dee Williams and Diana Ross would marry, then adopt her.
    That picture of Marvin Gaye was during his scruffy days. There aren’t too many men who can look scruffy and still look good.
    I KNEW Sam Cooke was going to be on here. He died before I was born, but my sisters have said that whenever one of his songs came on the radio, or he made an appearance on TV, my mother and her friends called each other and gushed over him.
    Al Green’s first hit was released when I was in third grade. I have to admit I had a crush on him for a minute.
    When ‘Boyz in the Hood’ came out, the guy I was dating at that time looked a lot like Laurence Fishburne. After we’d seen the movie, I kept looking at my boyfriend, thinking how much he reminded me of him. Sometimes he would catch me staring at him and ask why, but I never told him the real reason.

    • Lovemesomeblackmins

      I’m watching an old 70′s movie On Demand and he’s starring in it. I wouldn’t have known who it was if I hadn’t seen your post earlier. Yessssssss, this brotha is fine!

    • FromUR2UB

      He has been mentioned on one of these before. But yes, he’s worth a second mention because he was beautiful to look at.

  • kathy johnson

    Love all of these men BUT you forgot Malcolm X….that brotha was mmmmmm….lol

    • DrennaB

      I didn’t forget…I absolutely DIDN”T! The ONLY reason Malcolm isn’t on here is b/c I was trying to keep it within music and movies. OMG, I looooove me some Brother Malcolm though; he was indeed fine!

      • BBBEE25TEE

        He sure was! Fine and militant…deadly combo right there. Anytime I hear “by any means necessary” I can’t help but have a little grin on my face from racy thoughts going through my mind.

        • sabrina
