Gary Busey was amazing in this movie. He became Buddy and should have won the Oscar. Watching in 2019.

Have watched this classic a dozen times...and Gary's performance still stuns me....Oscar may have avoided him,but not to fans of Gary,like me...King Curtis's solo is haunting.

A role Gary Busey will always be remembered for. He should have won the Oscar. Director said, he allowed for alot of improv making the acting very real and fluid showcasing Gary's natural comedic timing. End the end of the song Director said Gary really was in a trance because he was so into the song and performance. Outstanding👍

Dwight Dodd
