Fact #186988

Dee Dee Kennibrew [The Crystals] : He [sam cooke] was the most personable guy, the most charismatic guy you'd ever want to meet. Down to earth guy and a great performer. He taught me how to eat crabs. (laughs) In Philadelphia, he sent his guy out to Baltimore to pick up a bunch of crabs. I looked at those things and said "I'm not eating those things!" They were enjoying them, so I said I may try them. Boy, we were hooked after that. We sat in the middle of the floor at the Uptown and ate crabs until we couldn't eat 'em anymore. He was a really great guy. He was the best as far as I'm concerned, with just plain, flat out entertaining. No dancing. He used to say, "I can't dance", but he could move.
