Edi Gathegi's Mr. Terrific brought something rare to James Gunn's Superman. He showed a Black man displaying intellectual superiority without shame or apology. Furthermore, he didn't need to make others comfortable. In one performance, Gathegi shattered decades of conditioning. This conditioning taught Black men to temper their brilliance. Moreover, it made them soften their confidence. Additionally, it forced them to apologize for taking up space where their intelligence might be perceived as a threat to others. This representation matters significantly. […]

The Milwaukee soul legend co-wrote "Disco Lady," the very first platinum single in Recording Industry Association of America history, moving over two million copies for Johnnie Taylor in 1976. He penned "Love-Itis," a deep soul burner that became a hit for Canada's Mandala and later the J. Geils Band. Yet for most of his career, Scales remained Milwaukee's best-kept secret.
