Hi BoxingForum24.com! I'm writing to you on behalf of Songfacts.com, who recently published a feature on Muhammad Ali's musical legacy. "On February 25, 1964, former Olympic gold medalist Muhammad Ali knocked out the seemingly invulnerable Sonny Liston for the heavyweight championship. Decades later, rappers would make tiresome boasts of their figurative knockouts and imaginary championships, but Ali did it for real. He had the audacity to release his album I Am The Greatest! in 1963 while he was still just a contender. It was merely a footnote on the charts, but Ali's musical influence is best heard in the songs that he would go on to inspire."

As i recall Ali did some singing in Exile when starring in the musical "Buck White" and could hold a note quite well. (But perhaps not the greatest here Ernie Terrell and Joe Frazier also Fronted Bands)
Stevie G - And Terrell ?? Ernie may of had some good sparring here as i gather his sister was Tammy Terrell one time Supreme and Dolly Ross Cohort.
Actually his sister was JEAN Terrell of the Supremes,Area. Funnily enough,Tammy was the niece of Light Heavy Bob Montgomery.
