I always enjoyed his acting and his music and now I can say he truly has character that can be admired for more than his talent! Unfortunately it takes white people to check other white people. It took courage and appreciation of people of color's dignity to speak up. My blog: popcultureflo.blogspot.com

He's a fraud. His bio is a lie. He's not from New Orleans. He's from Weston, Connecticut. His real father isn't a lawyer. He's one of the Presidents of Sony Music and one of the major stockholders in Sony Pictures. This information is available at the Weston Public Library, Weston, CT. It's sad that he's reduced to such obvious attention getting antics, because nobody here in the USA really listens to his music. Ask yourself: What's your favorite Harry Connick Jr. song?
