Description

We all know Tommy Chong from That 70's Show  or from the Cheech and Chong movies and skits but, did you know Tommy was once and R & B Singer, signed to Motown?  Tommy was very much into the R & B scene in Canada and he promoted several concerts in Canada.  In fact, he introduced Ike and Tina Turner to Canada and he talks about a night, in Chicago, at The Regal Theater, when Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 opened for his group, Bobby Taylor and The Vancouvers.  That night lead to Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five getting his shot at Motown.    Who knew that Tommy Chong had a whole other life before Cheech and Chong?  Tommy's experiences as a bi-racial kid in Canada led to him co writing a chart climbing hit, "Does Your Mama Know About Me?"  Hear these and other stories that you have never heard before on The Silver Ash Podcast, High Quality Conversation!
