    This held my attention. Great life story. What I'm really shocked about, when they found out she was a runaway, they didn't send her home to her parents?

      Back in the day when it came to runaways, as long as the teen wasn't causing trouble and was helping out, they'd take care of them. I'm sure word got back that she was the niece of one of the Bar-Kays as well.

      Exactly! In this day and age that would be considered trafficking the way Isaac sent her to another state to another GROWN MAN!! At least back then most adults were trustworty and we looked out and cared about our young folks. My how things have changed. Just glad she had a beautiful story to tell and not a tragic one.

      You have to place yourself in that time mentally. He was (like a lot of black people) trying to project the best image of African Americans at the time. This was very common coming out of slavery (think talented tenth) and again out of the civil rights movement that bore soul train. Respectability politics. That’s why he didn’t like her being bald headed.
