    I met Sherman, aka Rick Stone when I was a beat cop in the Henry Horner homes. I saw him walking in Union Park and I stopped him and put my cuffs on him. He eyes got huge, he was like what was he being arrested for. I said he had a warrant for the murder of Cochise. He fell out laughing. Turns out he grew up with my boy C.J. A real cool dude.

      Well I used to love your Uncle Rick. It was something about the gravel in his voice, that deep, “Don’t try to play me stare” & how he would fix his lips in the movie that did it for me. “Stone & Robert” were my favorites because they reminded me of Brothas around my way.
      Until they helped Damon find Cochise. That’s when I fell out with him. 🤣 I was fuming! 🤬🤬🤬

    Rick Stone is an "original & genuine" Soul Brother who is full of personality and character. Even when he was a gangster he had to be fun to be around. This is another great Bird's Eye View Production that has fully captured the soul of this man. Rick speaks openly from his heart, he also sings very good.

    That’s true about the Chicago accent. Being from the NYC area and having lived in Chitown for two years I was fascinated by the southern connection they had. But the food was incredible. I still say the best
    “Soulfood” I had in my life was my two years living in Chicago.

      yeah i lived there too before.... the chicago accent is little lighter than the st. louis accent; when u hear st. louis people speak its way more stronger! alot people's families from Mississippi, alabama , and georgia, went to Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago, Milwaukee , gary, indiana, and cleveland. Especially Mississippi! The ties to chicago and detroit is real heavy; Chicago and Detroit aint nothing but "Uptown Mississippi"

    I own Cooley High on DVD, and Corona got me in here digging in the crates. I just finished watching it again, and when the credits rolled, I decided to look up some of the names to see what they're up to now. Damn! All these years I had no clue about Rick Stone. This is one interesting brotha. Cooley High is a classic, and I forgot Robert Townsend was in it too. I watched Claudine right before that, which is another classic in our community.
