PORTLAND, Maine โ Ahmir Thompson, founder of The Roots and drummer for the โTonight Showโ band, wants to find the kind stranger who bought him a turntable and several records at the tender age of 5.
โBeing the irresistible cat that I was, I talked an older woman named Ellie into buying me a stereo and a record collection,โ Questlove posted on Facebook and Instagram.
Ellie wrote the youngster's order on a napkin: โBad Bloodโ by Neil Sedaka, โDance With Meโ by Rufus, and the Jackson 5.
His parents were upset that he'd been chatting up a stranger when Ellie returned the next day bearing gifts.
Heโs so cute of course I wanted to start his record collection!!
