February 26th, 2013 - By Diamond Newman

 Today, we have Beyoncé and Idris, but before they were heating up Google images, there was Eartha Kitt and Billy Dee Williams. With movie star good looks and the magic to make grown men and women cry, these 15 stars gave us nothing but sex appeal and our parents and grandparents loved it! Here are some of the best black sex symbols of yesteryear!

Billy Dee Williams

“Oh Billy Dee” is what all of our grandmothers said whenever the mere shadow of this actor came on a screen. Billy Dee was so hot that Diana Ross couldn’t  stop acting with him, appearing with him in Lady Sings the Blues and Mahogany.  Billy even made the hood-classic drink Colt 45 hot. Who else can do that?

    I love it! Bobby Brown was popular in the 19080′s. He popularized the Gumpy haircut. Side eye….

    Really it was 14 sex symbol. Sorry Paula isn’t black. I swear Nicki looks so much like Chaka it’s crazy. She actually doesn’t look that different. She got great genes.

    Phyllis was absolutely stunning.

    Don’t judge me for not being able to identify the other Jacksons, but who is that in front of Mike with that Grandpa blazer on?

    • Chevonne22

      Tito. Other than Mike, he has always been the most distinctive-looking. He looks just like Joseph.

      • Keisha Samoht

        oh okay…
