My friend and I tried imitating his videos as little kids in the late '80s for fun haha. He was never not huge ever since he got famous in the early 70s, even was still huge in the 90s and after while most people made fun of him.

Yeah, in the early 90s the joke was that he didn’t know if he was black or white.

People didn't know about his skin issues back then. They thought he wanted to be white.
