As Sweet as Sugar!

I was there

I have a pix of me and Dad, Sugar Ray Robinson, around 1951 in Paris, with one of our cars. It was a signature flamingo pink/fuschia color, which can be seen on the back of my book Pound For Pound: A Biography of Sugar Ray Robinson written with Herb Boyd and published by Harper Collins....

In this year when we have a chance to celebrate our unity as "One World One Race: HUMAN" lets show this to the world as what America stands for!

Dad's Style was known world wide and so was his Cadillac! Style & Grace Plus Power! The GM way!

Note: After winning his second world title, Robinson embarked on a European tour which took him all over the Continent. Robinson travelled with his flamingo-pink Cadillac Series 62 convertible, which caused quite a stir in Paris.
