No that would be James Baldwin.
RIP to Richard Simmons however. Never heard a bad word about him. I remember as a kid dude used to get all my mom’s friends PUMPED with his workout videos. Dude was the middle aged chubby mom whisperer.

on him for no reason and the only thing he ever did was make overweight women dance and sweat some weight off. 
Our childhood is getting erradicated Brehs. Dude had a Harlem pass and kept the marsupial with good thigh meats
