The Jackal with Dana Bryant * Ronny Jordan | HQ ~ West Wing
Did I ever tell you about the man who changed my life?
The one I thought, oh. Lord, when I saw him walkin’
back in that bar, all tall and lean with them broad shoulders,
sweet lips, I knew that I had died and gone to
Chocolate Heaven
He had a real deep voice, white pearly teeth,
his shoe was always shiny.
Long slender fingers manicured perfectly.
The man wore 800-dollar Italian suit, straight from,
I dunno, what would they call it,
Milan or Rome or someplace like that?
I knew it wasn’t local.
I said, I got to get next to that.
I haven’t seen him in a long time.
The man was so fine, he could get any good girl into trouble
Can you guess what his name was?
Well
‘The Jackal’
‘The Jackal’
Say.
‘The Jackal’
He was fat back cat cool like a Friday afternoon martini,
chillin’ at a quarter after 5.
Twist of lime, Coke on the side.
The brother loved the high life.
Had a Ph.D. in street stride.
They called him ‘The Jackal’.
He was big Mack daddy super black stylin’
a diamonds in the back Cadillac.
Fur-lined boards, white wall wheels, cruise control,
built for speed, chrome on evray-thang.
And stereophonic speakers,
though he really didn’t need them.
When they called him
‘The Jackal’.
Say.
‘The Jackal’.
Fly boy was in the buttermilk, hard, livin’ fast, livin’ large,
6 foot 4 and not an ounce of fat!
When women asked, ‘is you a Cat?’
He said ‘I did more that that.
I’m the firmest of the firm
And in case you, hadn’t known,
they call me ‘The Jackal’.
Served the 18-year bid First Reicker’s Island
then they hid him in the state penitentiary.
Said the charge was Grand Larceny.
That was 1975, and today, if he’s still alive,
he’d be living in the park.
Hm. The brother whose claim to fame was
that they called him ‘The Jackal’.
‘The Jackal'”
I was at the shoot in 1993. The video was filmed in the Cafe de Paris in Leicester Square, London. I recall there being a lot of extras/models at the recording of the video though most of them don’t appear in the final cut of the video. A friend of mine, the stunning girl in the white dress talking to the Jackal was called Kadamba Simmons. R.I.P.
frown cat, roan cat, wrong cat? I can't get to the bottom of that line is. In some lyrics it says 'frown cat' but I can't find anything that explains what it means.
Al u racis dont care abt blacksploitation ur on the white brul maratho im takki WW. Bru dwy r dey so obses dis i googled it n foundout dwy n im no clearer on dwy this evr hapn
The Jackal has died. Mark Bravo ( the main actor in this video) will be buried 11 May. He died not in the park but in his penthouse overlooking the Thames . Loved always Brother. Anthony ❤
Yeeeaahhhhh…this song is awful and the sax during the chorus makes birds fall, straight dead, out of the sky. It's a dumb song that white people think is cool because it was on the West Wing.
