Dennis Parker (Posa) was born in New York in 1946. There is virtually no information to be found on him..anywhere. So I'll give you what I know. When his album "Fly Like An Eagle" was released in 1978 I remember the talk of him being "a porn star turned singer" circulating. Using that small bit of stored info I tracked down a name and a filmography. To make sure I was on the right track I found a picture of the porn star I believed to be him. Sure enough "WADE NICHOLS" was also Dennis Parker.
Seems his career started in 1975 in the film "Summer Of Laura." That same year the 20 year old also did "Exploring Young Girls." His next film was 1977's "Barbara Broadcast" (in which he played the dishwasher-see photo below) and was his most popular. 1977 was his big year, churning out 6 adult films, among them: "Visions," "Secret Dreams Of Mona Q,"Odyssey-The Ultimate Trip," "My Sex-Rated Wife" and "Breaker Beauties."
By 1978 he only did two films, "Take Off" and "Raw Footage." At this point producer Jacques Morali put his "music machine" behind the hunky star. Although he only recorded one album it did produce the club hits "Fly Like An Eagle" and "New York By Night." Which were both released on a Casablanca 12" single. |
