Remember Ernie Barnes

Not many professional football players move on to a career as an artist with iconic paintings, which is why I am pausing today to remember ERNIE BARNES.
Barnes died Monday night, age 70.
He played in the old AMERICAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE for the Titans, Chargers and Broncos.
Barnes turned to art after football. Among his notable works was "THE SUGAR SHACK," featured on the cover of the Marvin Gaye album "I Want You" and in the credits of the 1970s sitcom "Good Times."
Football and art? That's quite a pair of accomplishments.
