Good Hearted Woman
✊🏾 Ralph Carter :: Good Times
GOOD TIMES was one of my favorite shows in high school. Chicago's WGN had a killer afterschool lineup that included "Good Times", the original "Star Trek", "Welcome Back, Kotter" and often Cubs games announced by Harry Caray (who I later learned was usually drunk on air). Even though Good Times was filmed live in front of a studio audience, I bought in to the whole Cabrini Green experience. I watched almost every episode eventually.
When I moved to Fort Greene I would see Ralph Carter all the time hanging out on Myrtle Ave, holding the door for people at the bank, acknowledging young kids who yelled at him ("Good Times!") with the Black Power salute. He must of known I recognized him because one day I was standing outside a pizza place with my buddy Dave one day andhe silently gave me a pound.
