      The dude with " the hair plugs" is the same dude in the video here, Kevon Edmonds. He's effing 66 years old what the hell you expect him to look the same?? He looks great for his age. The young dude they had to hire to replace Melvin because he effing DIED. The third bald dude is the same third dude with hair here, Keith Mitchell, but like Kevon he's effing 66. What you expect them to stop singing because Melvin died, or look the same when they pushing seventy? Stop disrespecting them and champion the fact that they are STILL DOING IT. You don't sound like a fan you sound like a hater!

      By your avatar, you don't look the same as you did back then either, but I ain't mad at cha! Because you weren't tryin' to be NO kid, when you a Full-Grown Man!
      But if you were to put in hair plugs and tryin' to chase your youth, I'd check you, too son! ✔
      I see that you edited your comments (but you failed miserably, kid)! When you tried --- you shoulda taken out the 'nonsensical' curse words! 🤬
      Like Momma say, "If you can't talk in a respectful manner without belittling yourself with the usage of such . . . then you probably have nothing to say! 🤫
      FAILURE "No1 No1" --- the dude with the plugs is actually, Keith!
      FAILURE #2 --- there was no "third bald dude" in the group . . . never was . . . all of them had hair, although Keith's was barely hanging on!
      FAILURE #3 --- this new bald dude is actually the THIRD (3) attempt to fill the void of Melvin
      Three strikes and you OUT, kid!
      And yeah, I expect them to stop singing, if this is the iteration that they are putting into the ethosphere! Because they coulda put together a nationwide search (publicly) for a Melvin-sounding replacement . . . and we 'old school' fans woulda ate it up. But they came with Keith Floyd (wasn't close) and then Jason Edmonds (even worse) and finally bald headed dude (even worser)!
      Because this 💩is sacrilegious to Melvin's memory --- ua-cam.com/video/Aa2bHDkhGo0/v-deo.html
