You've probably already noticed the typo in your FPP, nola. (And your tag!) Here's the REAL AndreA Williams!
You sure it wasn't her you meant to post? :)

BTW, here's Andre's MySpace Music page. Four tunes to listen to there!

Hey, take it easy! The mods fixed you up! Man, this guy's stuff is great. Thanks for turning me onto him, this is a real welcome discovery.

Damn - I want to see this NOW!!! Talk about a larger than life character that was way ahead of his time. "Jailbait" is a classic, but "Rib Tips (1 & 2)" is a great, sleazy funk party tune that sounds dirty even without lyrics (although "May I have a toothpick please?" always makes me laugh). Huuuge thanks for alerting me to this film.
And if you have problems playing the trailer like I did, it's also on You Tube.

Here is a 2001 show streamed (Real player stream) from a Dutch radio station, a 45 minute show, the crowd really with him, hooting and hollering, linked off the Wikipedia entry.
Set list -- Set List: Halleluja; Proud Mary; Slingit; I Can Tell; Pyjama's; Let Me Put It In; Jailbait; I Don't Know Why; I See What I Like; Halleluja;
This guy is fun!
And if you don't like to have unReal player (I hate those bastards) taking over your desktop, and sending messages to the mother ship every time you boot your puter, you can download the freeware Real Alternative here.

He's brilliant live. And until you meet him, you can never truly understand the meaning of the word lascivious - it's like he simultaneously hits on every woman in a five mile radius. Which is just a teensy bit creepy.
