zxcvbnm098 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 He mentions this in his book. It's really a great read. The better story is how Donald Byrd told him how to negotiate and keep his publishing when he signed his album deal. That's why he got that big check in the first place......

BRW Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Yeah it's a "well-known" story that he bought the Cobra with the dough. I'm also pretty sure the tune "King Cobra" on his second album is named after the car and not the snake... I wonder what other cars HH has? On his old Korg publicity shot, there's a Ferrari (looks like possibly a 550 Maranello Spyder...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrythek Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 In the last few years he's been tooling around in a Smart Car. He loves being able to fit into tight LA parking spots... Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
