Give Ali a crowd, and he was a pain.Terry D wrote:Aye, it became another stick for Ali to beat him with. I remember watching Ali listening to Joe's song, I think both men covered 'Stand by Me', and then playing his own. In a press call he then made sure Joe knew he had heard his song.bennie wrote:Frazier fronted a band even when he was boxing. The Knockouts.
"People say I can sing better than you! I can hold a note better and everything."
Not sure about the '1st round KO' song Joe sung to Ali, optimistic in the extreme.

For Frazier v Ali II builup Cosell planned to have both of them sing on the show, but then it turned into the infamous brawl and it never happened.Terry D wrote:Give Frazier an opening and he would cause you pain.

Will The Real Sonny Liston Please Fall was a notable low. Although it inspired Marshall Mathers, so can't be all bad.Terry D wrote:Got it at home.

he famously said about joe "only n...er in the world aint got riddum"

Last time I met Joe he was very punch drunk. The man is of course a legend so it is a bit sad to see him wheeled out for signings and meet and greets. Guess the Brown Bomber was forced to do the same.....
