Happy Earthday to De Magician who I will now rename Russell De Great. Latas boy, Meh heart hurt meh with dat Cobo in Germany and I will never forgive a certain coach for dat. . A Great man is one who inspires greatness in other men even when they themselves didnt know they had it. As you have inspired the likes of Dwight, Shaka , Stern , carlos , Mickey Trotman (RIP), Jerren Nixon, Angus Eves, Lyndon & Marvin Andrews, Dawrika and you know de list goes on and on. You must know Latas dat if man could turn back de hands of time getting to see you play in de Red Black n White would top de my list. I remember I was a small man when meh ole man did give you and Faustin a ride to town after allyuh did destroy Presentation in Sando.... Just sitting down next to de I did really make iman day. I does only sound like a groupie when it comes to de I because de I is de Boss. Long Live Russell Latapy.....
