His name is Randy Scott. He had several bands but my favorite was Platinum Plus. Full 70's funky shiny costumes and giant afro wigs. 8-10-ish players with full horn section and dad on drums and vocals. He was a boss.
Thanks for the suggestion and for taking the time to connect.

Randy?
Was he Joe the Policeman in the “What’s going down” episode of “That’s My Mama?”

Would it be fair to assume that he "Can't get enough of your love babe"?

Hahaha, he did love and hold sway over the ladies. Voice was like chocolate buttercream. Pops!

Anything recorded?
everlovingkindness OP t1_j6n4caa wrote
He had a couple of recordings. I have one of his 45's that I will digitize and upload soon. My first concert was his band opening for The Commodores in an arena, was insane! Thank you for asking and for taking the time to connect here.

Oh come on! That is some 1st concert - what year was that?
Do any of his bling 70s shirts still exist?

Man I wish...he had some unreal costumes. Satiny with huge shoulders and million inch platform shoes. Funky.
It was 1978 I think (maybe 1979) and it was at the Salt Palace in Utah. Looking for exact dates on the interweb but cannot find. Was indeed quite an entry into the world of arena shows. The word from backstage was that Lionel (whom I love) was a bit snooty and wouldn't talk to the opening act! The rest of the band were cool though.

Wow, what a time to see them, peak disco. Yeah Lionel always was a diva, that doesn’t ruin the memory at all though I am sure.

What city was he based in/ what part of the country did he perform in?
everlovingkindness OP t1_j6nbvng wrote
Interestingly enough based in Salt Lake City, which may be why he did not become a star in the rest of the world.

When I think of 70s Utah music, I think of the Osmonds.

everlovingkindness OP t1_j6mzx45 wrote
Hahahaha he would have loved this joke! This is how his music in the '70's was, sweaty, raw, and funky. He was a sexy mf.

You too!
But fr thanks for sharing. We should all hope to be remembered looking half as good as your dad here.

You should give his and the bands name, someone here will remember him/them.
