    Definately two of the best scenes in the movie...and of course, the music was stellar.

    I think I never thought "Oh, Otis can exist in both worlds!" at all, ever. I just thought it was great singing and such of great songs and his acting was good, and, that's what made him the best part(s) of the movie.

      He's a fake. He never sang a note in the movie. Lloyd G William's sang the songs. They dubbed him in and actor lip synced. Fake.

      @@nancywood9531 i saw him and his band perform at a place called the kingsman pub in Bridgeport Connecticut in 1980 and he was not very good
      At the time I had no clue that another singer actually did the song
      The first time I ever saw Dewayne Jessie in a movie was in bingo longs traveling all Stars and motor kings with Billie dee Williams and James earl Jones around 75 or 76
      Hes a good actor but not a very good singer

    I live in Dexter Oregon next to Dexter lake and this has never been a place where black people were killed and thrown into the lake. In fact there was a black woman in the early part of the 1900’s in the town of Lowell on the other side of the lake who was loved and respected. I still love Otis Day very much and I go to the Dexter Lake club every week and sometimes I sing shout at the karaoke. My brothers and dad watch the filming of the movie. This is a very loving community and we are not hateful at all.

      Lloyd G Williams was the man from Earth Wind And Fire and Temptations who recorded the songs for the movie.. Animal House. this actor was Lip syncing in the movie.. they dubbed Lloyd's recordings into the movie.. ...this actor turned down the part because he couldn't sing.. he was cast because he was so goofy looking, big mouth and stupid wig. Lloyd was too handsome.
      After the movie was such a sucesd he changed his name to Otis Day legally so he could claim the fame and royalties ( millions) from recordings.. The record lable stated song was by Otis Day. LLOYD WILLIAMS got NO FAME OR ROYALTIES OR EVEN MOVIE CREDIT. He was cheated out of millions by a fake hoax. Look Lloyd G William's up on you tube.

      No. No. No. He never sang one note. He lied when he said he didn't know why he turned t h e part d own. It was because he could not sing. They told him they would dub the singing then. So he took roll. He lied.
