A Moment In Afro Her-story: Love Unlimited

 Barry White gave to us his beautiful gifts of song and music-along with that he introduced the world to his beautiful wife Glodean, her sister Linda James, and their friend, Dianne Taylor who made up the singing group, Love Unlimited. Barry White's Love Unlimited singing group was composed of these three beautiful black women who surrounded him with their innate style and beauty.

Who could forget their song, "Walking In The Rain With The One I Love? Yes, in those days we did have love on all levels, what happened... I don't have a clue either.

 Before nail salons became popular, these three women wore some of the most unique nail designs that we ever saw at the time. I used to wonder how were they able to do anything with nails that long?

Any way, they were glamorous, poised, elegant and refined with some of the most beautiful perfectly coiffed Afro's on the planet. BTW, whatever happened to the record companies having etiquette coaches because many of today's so called stars are certainly lacking in that department?

A Moment In Afro Her-story: Fashion Journalist Teri Agins

'Fashion Journalist Teri Agins in her Afro years-Circa 1977'

"Before Marsha (Hunt that is), I had no idea that a hairdo could be so

revolutionary or politically charged."

While reading this months VOGUE, I came across this interesting article that former WSJ fashion journalist, Teri Agins wrote about during her "Afro years", titled: High Hopes. In the article she takes a look back at the revolutionary woman who inspired her to go from groomed to groovy- actress, author and singer Marsha Hunt.

                                    Marsha Hunt

Marsha Hunt is a Philadelphia born singer/actress who migrated to London in the 70's to launch her singing career and set London ablaze with her beauty and talent -who also once dated Mick Jagger.

For those of us who came up in the 70's era- we know about the pride and freedom we felt when we wore our hair in our "teeny weeny Afros" or that huge 'Bush" we were all trying to grow. We knew that the bigger the Afro was- the more complements we'd get from our peers and so did she.

Teri says that wearing the Afro has instilled pride, a sense of style and the freedom to be to a new generation of women who are now redefining their own standards of beauty.
