The newest addition to my growing Public Enemy music collection is this 1984 promo record of Spectrum City featuring Chuck D and Hank+Keith Shocklee (future “Bomb Squad” members).
Chuck graduated from Adelphi in 1984 and this is the earliest vinyl that he’s featured on to my knowledge.
Leslie was the 1986 Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year despite missing the end of the season with an injury that would force him to miss nearly two seasons. He would be named to six Pro Bowls and his 105.5 sacks are a San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers franchise record. Leslie O’Neal turns 62 today.
A standout at Fairfield University, Keefe was the first player from that school to reach the major league of any professional sport. A relief pitcher, he played 12 games over parts of two seasons going 1-1 with a save. Keefe Cato turns 68 today.
