Anyone know how Popular Clifton Davis was in 1976? I was watching a ep of Good Times yesterday and Thelma told Florida not to throw a newspaper away because Clifton Davis Picture was on that particular page. Was Clifton doing anything major in 1976? Or was that a Joke you think?

BTW:Cifton Davis starred on That's My Mama in 1974-75

Prior to starring in "That's My Momma," Clifton Davis had a summer replacement show with Melba Moore on CBS. Clifton was also big in the music industry as a writer. He wrote "Never Can Say Goodbye," and "Dance Machine."

OK. I thought it was a joke because someone in the audience was laughing when Thelma mentioned Clifton Davis name. Were those songs out in the mid 70's?

Yes, "Dance Machine," was made popular by the Jackson 5, and others have performed "Never Can Say Goodbye."

He played a Sports fanatic that was more interested in the football game than his wife played by Stanis; she played a model who was the same first grade class as Isaac; she tried to get her husband jealous by pretending that she was having an affair with Isaac,which was a joke, because Clifton Davis is handsome, and Isaac puts the U in Ugly....

Another interesting note about that episode on the Love Boat is "Isaac" played Junior on That's my Mama! So that was like a reunion for them. But anyway Clifton was pretty popular back then as I remember. Some of the jealous brothers tried to claim he was gay with of all people Michael Jackson!!! Who was only a child at the time!!!

Yeah I'm serious!. Jealousy is awful! Both Clifton and Michael were very popular in those days (when Michael was seemingly normal!)
