in saying farewell
to brother Marcus Hooks.
It's Louis and Floyd!
It's the Real Deal!
Oh!
Marcus Hooks and the Real Deal,
back together again.
Give them a hand.
Reunited, y'all.
They got their sh*t together.
Yes! Let's go!
Stand by.
Move in on my command.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Come on, Officer
detective person.
Please, just, you know, come on.
Let them sing one song.
One little song.
It's not gonna hurt anybody.
The Real Deal!
All right. One song.
But it better be good.
One song. The good one.
How's that hip?
Locked and loaded, baby.
Let's do this.
Band!
Let's take a walk in the park.
1, 2, 3, 4!
# Oh, yeah #
# When the river gets to rollin' #
# And then you add
a bowlful of soul in #
# And then I tried
to let it all go then #
# Oh, yeah #
# Oh, it's easy to me #
# You see, the way
I ride the rhythm #
# You see, the truth
is all I can give 'em #
# And the lyrics can
come from livin' #
# Oh, yeah, oh, it's easy to me #
# Oh, yeah #
# Music comes out of my heart #
# Something like a walking the park #
# It's just a walk in the park #
# Oh, yeah #
# And no one else in here, I heard it #
# I don't know what I've
done to deserve it #
# You don't question it
while you serve it #
# Oh, yeah #
# Oh, it was given to me #
# I got something you inherit #
# I don't know that you
was born to share it #
# And if you shoot,
be sure you wear it #
# Oh, yeah #
# Oh, it comes naturally to me #
# Uh-huh-uh #
# Music comes out of my heart #
# Yeah #
# Something like a walk in the park #
# It's just a walk in the park #
# Oh, yeah #
Oh, yeah!
Y'all having a good time
out here tonight?
This is what I'm talking about!
You know about that
walk in the park, man?
Sure I know about
that walk in the park.
You do? I'll tell you what.
- Show them.
- Got to get down.
Ladies and gentlemen,
let's give a big Apollo welcome
to the stage for the first time,
my daughter, Miss Cleo Whitfield!
# To make something out of nothin' #
# That's what we all
got in common #
# So just hold on tight, I'm comin' #
# Oh, yeah, yeah #
# Said to me #
# I'll give you something
you can believe in #
# And then enjoy yourself
this evenin' #
# And don't you dare
think about leavin' #
# Oh, yeah #
# Sing along with me #
# Music comes out of my heart #
# Something like a walk
in the park #
# It's just a walk in the park #
# Oh, yeah, oh, yeah #
# Oh, yeah #
# Music comes out of my heart #
# Something like a walk
in the park #
# It's just a walk in the park #
# Oh, yeah #
# Music comes out of my heart #
One song.
# Something like a walk in the park #
# A walk in the park #
# It's just a walk in the park #
# A walk in the park #
# Oh, yeah #
# Music comes out of my heart #
I'm their manager!
# Something like a walk in the park #
# Walk in the park #
# It's just a walk in the park #
# Just like a walk in the park #
# Oh, yeah #
Whoo!
# Yeah, ooh, yeah #
# Doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo #
# Haah #
You're gonna sing real nice tonight.
All right, y'all.
# Got that funky time #
# I can feel it #
Any time the camera
or the mic comes on,
I don't cheat myself.
That was rule number 1
I was taught as a kid.
And I definitely can't
cheat the audience.
So I give 150/%
every single time that I do anything.
Even the way I live my life.
I just cherish
each doggone moment.
A black preacher's
something else, ain't it?
You can't pay your rent
after you come from church.
And if you ask the preacher
for the $5.00,
he'll be like, "F*** you
in the name of Jesus. "
My comedy is not fictitious.
My comedy has
to come from my heart.
- Charlie Chan was a hell of a man.
- All right, let's rehearse.
He went through China
with his sh*t in his hand.
Had five women against the wall.
I betcha five dollars
that he f***ed them all.
He f***ed them hard.
He f***ed them long.
He f***ed them till his sh*t got sore.
He went to the doctor,
and the doctor said,
"Sorry, Charlie, your dick is dead. "
He said, "Doctor, Doctor,
that can't be true. "
"Yes, sir, Charlie,
your balls are too!"
I've been performing all my life.
So being in front of an audience
has never been a problem for me.
It's time to go?
Well, go on, then.
You want to leave a lasting impression
on your audience.
You know, and that's something
I was taught, too,
when I first started.
Always make them remember you,
or remember something
about you and the film.
I'm going back to my
$600-a-night hotel room,
have me a nice-ass, uh,
piece of p*ssy and sh*t.
Okay?
Cut it.
Okay, just breathe. Breathe.
I'm not even in yet.
# I got to boogie for you #
# I got nothin' but boogie #
# Nothin' but boogie for you #
# I got nothin' but boogie #
# Nothin' but boogie for you #
# Boogie, boogie #
I want to say thanks to you all
because you all made me... yeah.
I wouldn't have
no TV show or movies.
You all was coming to see me,
and you all made me...
Chattanooga, Louisiana, Mississippi.
So thank you.
I think if I had a few free passes
like a lot of people,
as successful as I have.
My task here on Earth
is I have to work harder
than the average bear.
It look easy, don't it?
But it's not.
Thank you, sweetheart. Thank you.
# I never can say goodbye #
# No, no, no, I #
# No, no, no, #
# Even though the pain
and heartaches #
# Seem to follow me wherever I go #
# Though I try and try
to hide my feelings #
# They always seem to show #
# Then you try to say
you're leaving me #
# And I always have to say no #
# Tell me why #
# Is it so #
# I never can say goodbye #
# No, no, no, no #
# I keep thinkin' that our problems #
# Soon are gonna all work out #
# But there's that same unhappy feeling #
# That makes that anguish
twist that doubt #
# It's that same old dizzy hangup #
# Can't live with you or without #
# Tell me why #
# Is it so #
# I don't wanna let you go #
# I, I'll never #
# Say goodbye #
# I won't say goodbye #
# I won't try #
# I won't let you go #
# Won't say goodbye #
# I can't say goodbye #
# No #
# I won't #
# Oh, yeah #
# I won't say goodbye #
# I won't try #
# Can't say goodbye #
# Won't say goodbye #
# I can't say goodbye #
# No #
# I want you all the time #
