Description

The Turning Point (CD)Throughout the 1970s, Rudy Ray Moore made his name as one of the most uniquely explicit, anti establishment underground comedians working. With his profane, controversial material, and frequently taboo stories surrounding his famed pimp character Dolemite, Moore commanded a cult fanbase throughout the decade, remained a star of blaxploitation films of the era, and was a strong influence on rap stars such as Snoop Dogg, Big Daddy Kane, and 2 Live Crew.

Throughout the 1970s, Rudy Ray Moore made his name as one of the most uniquely explicit, anti-establishment underground comedians working. With his profane, controversial material, and frequently taboo stories surrounding his famed pimp character Dolemite, Moore commanded a cult-fanbase throughout the decade, remained a star of blaxploitation films of the era, and was a strong influence on rap stars such as Snoop Dogg, Big Daddy Kane, and 2 Live Crew. His party records were considered too vulgar to be displayed in record shops, but word of mouth made his albums the stuff of legends.

Though Rudy Ray Moore was widely known for his provocative stand-up, less is known about his musical side. Though he found success as a comedian he had always wanted to be a famous singer, and deeply loved to perform music. (His stand-up shows regularly featured a backing band, providing his monologues a backdrop of jazz and R&B music.) In 1972, as his comedy career was booming with cult-popularity, Moore released The Turning Point, and fans were treated to the raunchy raconteurs previously unheard croon. The album features smooth R&B renditions of songs by Curtis Mayfield, The Impressions, The Platters, and other favorites of the comedian, even featuring two originals written by Moore himself.

The music on The Turning Point could easily stand toe-to-toe with the smooth, silky 70s soul of greats like Isaac Hayes or Lou Rawls. Over 35 years later, Dolemite Records, with a dedication to bringing Rudy Ray Moores legacy to a modern audience, now brings you this compact disc reissue, complete with retrospective liner notes from Rudys former manager Donald Randell.

Great quality and fast shipping
Color: Burgundy, Size: X-Large, Color: Burgundy, Size: X-Large
I normally wear a L or an XL. I bought this as an XL and I’m very happy I did. The fit is good. The embroidery on the top makes it more elegant. I wasn’t expecting it to be so long but I’m ok with it. You can pair it with tights too or other linen pants

Lightweight and Breathable
The standout feature of this kaftan is the cotton and linen blend fabric. This material choice gives the shirt a very light and breathable feel that is perfect for staying cool in warmer weather. It has a natural and slightly textured finish that feels soft against the skin. In terms of build, it features a button down Henley neck and side splits which provide a loose and non restrictive fit. It feels flowy and provides plenty of room for movement without feeling overly bulky. One downside is the lack of a size tag on the garment itself. While the fit feels right, it is a bit annoying not to have that permanent reference for laundry or future orders. For the price, this gown offers a great balance of comfort and style. The construction is solid for a lightweight garment. It is a reliable and easy going pick for anyone looking for a modern take on traditional attire. Just keep in mind that you might need to double check your order history if you forget which size you bought. Color is awesome and super accurate.

Small arms and chest
Color: Black, Size: Medium
This was a really nice top, if you have a muscular build then definitely buy a size up, the chest and arms run small so it will be a bit tight in those areas. Also difficult to put on if you have a muscular build but definitely a nice comfortable top that looks good in its simplicity
