Don "No Soul" Simmons

Don "No Soul" Simmons
  • Contest: 2023 Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- Round 1
  • In one of the more memorable sketches from the 1987 film, “Amazon Women on the Moon” David Alan Grier was Don “No Soul” Simmons who turned his disability of being a Black without Soul into a successful white bread recording career. Simmons would take “white” songs and well…make them even whiter as he took tunes like “Tie a Yellow Ribbon” to even new lows.
  • TV Show/Movie Appeared: Amazon Women on the Moon (1987)
  • Actors: David Alan Grier
  • Songs you may remember: Tie a Yellow Ribbon
    Blame it on the Bossanova
  • Why you should vote:: We don’t have very many people with “disabilities” on this list.
  • Why you should not vote:: This wasn’t seen very much, and Grier seemed to play a lot of this type of character.
