Scatman Crothers in Print (Ebony - July 1978)

It's "Scatman Crothers Week – Extended!!"...because a week of Scatman just ain't enough.

Back in the mid-90's I was working at an ad agency with a very large reference library (a place where it's a person's job to comb through every magazine in existence searching for photos and articles that may prove useful for future ad campaigns). One day while looking for swipe – that's ad talk for a photo – I came across this Scatman Crothers article from Ebony magazine, so I literally swiped it. Scatman had already been dead for 10 years so I figured no one would miss it. The magazine cover above I found through a google image search, but I'm not sure if it's the correct issue – it seems to be a "music" issue. Anyway, it's a great article...hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
