You should give his and the bands name, someone here will remember him/them.

He had a couple of recordings. I have one of his 45's that I will digitize and upload soon. My first concert was his band opening for The Commodores in an arena, was insane! Thank you for asking and for taking the time to connect here.

His name is Randy Scott. He had several bands but my favorite was Platinum Plus. Full 70's funky shiny costumes and giant afro wigs. 8-10-ish players with full horn section and dad on drums and vocals. He was a boss.

Thanks for the suggestion and for taking the time to connect.

I like the desktop pointer pin he's wearing, way before the times! Just kidding.

This is pretty cool to have of your dad to look back on!

What city was he based in/ what part of the country did he perform in?

great pic

Would it be fair to assume that he "Can't get enough of your love babe"?

Look at that swagger. He was a lot of kids’ dad. 😄

Man I wish...he had some unreal costumes. Satiny with huge shoulders and million inch platform shoes. Funky.

It was 1978 I think (maybe 1979) and it was at the Salt Palace in Utah. Looking for exact dates on the interweb but cannot find. Was indeed quite an entry into the world of arena shows. The word from backstage was that Lionel (whom I love) was a bit snooty and wouldn't talk to the opening act! The rest of the band were cool though.
