Famously known as “Huggy Bear” and gained fame as an actor earning the nickname “Huggy Bear” as the iconic street character from the mid-’70s television series Starsky & Hutch, Antonio Fargas has starred in countless films such as “I’m Gonna Get You, Sucka”, “Foxy Brown”, The Steve Harvey Show”, “Martin” and a recurring role on the BET sitcom, “Everybody Hates Chris”.
These days Mr. Fargas is singing the Blues with The New Jump Blues Band at the Westside Jazz Festival, based in Los Angeles, CA and Las Vegas, Nevada. This tight combo of veteran musicians brings new energy to a style that has its roots in the swing era. The New Jump Blues blends up-tempo elements of blues and jazz, adding smooth touches of calypso.
Join me tonight at 6:30 p.m. on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via Blog Talk Radio as I discuss with Mr. Fargas, his life as a veteran actor and his love of music at this stage in his career.
All “Conversation links” in this post will access the show!
See you on the air!
