Really pleased to see that Leon is doing well - thanks for picking on him as the subject. Love this guy and so pleased he's now in full-time ministry.

Nice update on Leon Isaac Kennedy.

Yess she was beautiful and he was so handsome

Glad to see the brother is still among the living and doing well. He looks happy and content.

So glad Jayne Kennedy is on Instagram! She's still beautiful!

Wow I remember Leon Kennedy in the 80's when I was a kid..I remember when he was married to Jayne Kennedy ..You should do a video on Jayne Kennedy as well. Thanks for another great upload Terry.👍🏽

He looked kind of like Sugar Ray Leonard.

Its great to hear that Leon Isaac Kennedy is alive and well. It makes me proud that he is a minster now. He looks great. May God Bless You.

Excellent video! Extraordinary talent & gift! Leon Kennedy is a living legend.

Hey "Too Sweet" He's still a handsome man

Nice to see he’s still around.

He's looks great ! He's seems happy as well ! Always been a fan of his too! God is good !

Absolutely loved his films. I have fantastic memories watching them with my friends and family. Glad to hear he is well and seems to be doing good. 👍🏾🙏🏾✨

Hi Terry, thanks for the video! I remember seeing Penitentiary at the movies. Then I found out Leon was married to Jayne Kennedy and I went Wow! I had the Ebony magazine with them on the cover and I used to love the photos of Jayne wearing the red & white sweatband and sportswear in the Coke-a-Cola ads. Leon and Jayne formed a production company called Jaleon and he compiled a video of her interviewing several top athletes. He showed it to the networks and that's how she got her show on NFL Today; "Jayne Kennedy's All-Stars" aired Saturday afternoons. I wasn't into sports commentating but I loved to watch her. For me she was the first black woman sports commentator and an inspiration that women can rise to fabulous heights in sports broadcasting. Leon was a definite asset in shaping Jayne's sports broadcasting career.🌿

Good update, & great to see that he’s alive and well 😊

Yes definitely remember this brother. Him and Jane were the it couple at that time. It’s good to see him survived all this years the Hollywood madness and not get caught up in it. Peace ✌🏾 to him and his family. He’s definitely one of my legends.

He looks good thanks for letting us know he still around it's good to see and hear how he's doing

I was obsessed with both of them!!!

Great to see this brother is still alive and well, he was a great actor. Thanks Terry for doing this video. Shalom Family

I remember him as a little kid. Looking awesome Leon Isaac Kennedy. Shout out to him. Thanks for sharing Terry Swoope I enjoy your channel & like when you do where they are now.👍 Be Safe Everyone🌎😷

It's fantastic to see Leon Kennedy he is still doing well, and he still a handsome-looking man.

This was a wonderful video to acknowledge Leon Kennedy #CLE#Land ❤️thank you for sharing. Leon is very talented. God bless him for still using his God-Giving Talents with the world.

Excellent! I loved Leon Issac Kennedy when I was a child. I saw Mr. T, Sammy Davis Jr.. I remember the Penitentiary pictures😎 Oh it was so Good to be young back then. You always bring back good memories.🎀😎😀. Glad to know Leon is doing well.

Wonderful! A great way of getting in touch with one's past times and those who were part of that. Half to see Me. Kennedy's story turned out well...and did not end tragically, like so many others.

kool update. happy it worked out for the brotha. thank you for providing info that corporate media seems to dismiss as not worthy or interesting

Appreciate this update, I used to have such a crush on him!

Omg!!! I never heard of the third Penitentiary. I need to find that. Too Sweet!!!! You are so right. The second Penitentiary wasn't anything. Wow, he looks great!!! God bless him!! Good look at Where are they now. I always wondered where he was. He was a pretty good actor. He should have been giving more of a chance. 😷

At least it's good to see that he's doing good & living in a great life as a blessing he is today. To me, I truly enjoyed watching "Penitentiary" which was interesting in my opinion

He also played a part in the movie Lone Wolf McQuade back in 1983 with Chuck Norris which was one of my favorites.

This man was such a humble person when I meet him when he came to Monument of Faith Church in Chicago ( the late Apostle Richard D. Henton ) , to preach when I was a a teen ; he jumped off of the pulpit , and said " come on , get on up and help me lay hands to bring deliverence to GODS people you have a powerful anointing sitting here humbly waiting for GOD to use you" and the rest of what he prophesied is actually playing out !!! To God be ALL the GLORY!!! what a service that was Halleluyah!!

Someone mentioned that, "Leon Kennedy" looks like "Sugar Ray." Well, it's the other way around. Also, the first time I saw a picture of "Vanity," she reminded me of "Jane Kennedy!" 😁😁😁

dam 72. life goes fast, gotta enjoy your moment in time.

Dude kept himself together well for 72. Props to him for that. It looks like Jane is still pretty too but has picked up some weight

Love your videos and commentary. Takes me back to a simpler time. Please keep up the great work. This takes one’s mind off Covid.

He is still fine.

Thank you for sharing this story. I love this guy and hadn't thought in a long time about the beautiful Jane Kennedy, who I also loved. Glad to see Mr. Kennedy is still thriving! Still great looking, too.

Good to see him well! I was in love with him when I was a teenager.

I remember having this ebony magazine I was a pre teen , all black , girls we wanted to look like the beautiful jane kennedy not only was she beautiful , humble and kind , we also had a crush on conceited leon, yes they were a beautiful couple but I remember jane kennedy wasn't that happy with leon, but any way, thanks for the memories.omg he does look great, he's still gorgeous glad he is doing well.cant believe he's 72 years old.

Thank you... I often wondered what happened to him. He looks great. I met Muhammad Ali too. My Dad used to take us to his training camp. Dad used to sit by his bedside talking to him. It was so much fun. Joe Lewis was at his camp too. 💗❤💖🌹😷😀👍

I absolutely adore him!!!

WOW WOW. He kinda looks better at 72. His voice makes me feel calm. I see why he is a minister. Leon should do an album with you speaking.Your deep soothing voice is so relaxing. Thank you sharing the footage of ali, jayne. I never saw penitentiary so i might just have to check it out.

Thank you so much for the update. Pastor Leon came to Oral Roberts University in the 90s and ministered to the Black seminarians. To put it mildly, he turned the place out.

Yes I often wondered what happened to him! He looks well like Smokey. Blessings to him and his Family.

What a BLAST FROM THE PAST!!!! He raised me🥰

Thankz Swoop! I too was a fan of "Leon Isaac Kennedy" back in the day. He was so popular in the black community but never got that so call "Cross-Over" hit which would've made him a bonefide star in general. I remember there were talks in the early 80s about L.I.K. portraying "Sugar Ray Leonard" in a bio becuz of the obvious resemblance( RB singer 'Usher' was just an infant at this time). L.I.K. was a special talent and should've been a bigger star. So glad to hear that he's happy & living fine.😃

Before he wentered to LA he was a DJ in DC known as Leon the Lover

I recall a reporter from either Ebony or Essence magazine that conducted a very painful interview with the both of them as there marriage was dissolving. Jayne was very distressed, but Leon was indifferent and apathetic. My opinion is that he wanted all of the attention and was bothered by the fact that his beautiful, athletic but feminine wife was getting more looks than he did. They have moved on, Jayne has children with her 2nd husband (a Mr. Overton) and last I heard they're doing well, married for many years.

Leon the lover .. you didn't mentio his radio career as leon the lover .. Love and Respect to him!! ❤ Body and Soul is still one of my favorite movie and will watch it til this day!❤

Wow I remember Leon Too Sweet Kennedy from the Penitentiary movie I had the biggest crush on him. He was one of the finest black men I have ever seen, next to Billy Dee Williams of course😉. He still looks good for his age and he is a man of God and living a good life. Thanks for the update who else can you find from back in the day?🤔😉

This was a beautiful video - kudos to you for putting it together

I remember Leon. Now he is Rev.Kennedy that's wonderful! God bless him and I am happy he is spreading God's precious word to us all.

Thank you so much for doing this video... Huge fan of this brother... Ms Kennedy... And of course the Greatest of all time Muhammad Ali ...Rest in paradise big brother ✌💗

He also played in a chuck Norris movie in long wolf

I would like to take this time to say thank you Leon Kennedy for your work as an actor and as a child your work has inspired me to be the best athlete in high school and watching you in movies taught me how to persevere thank you once again for what you have done.

Leon Isaac Kennedy looks great for 72 & I loved watching his movies back in the day. I can't help but to wonder why he divorced beautiful Jayne Kennedy??? Their on screen love scenes must of been easy since they were married:-)

Hey Terry thanks for the Update on Leon Isaac Kennedy those Penitentiary Movies were tripped Out My Favorite Movie with him was Body and Soul featuring his then gorgeous wife Jayne Kennedy and the Greatest Muhammad Ali I also enjoyed him as a villain in Fighting Mad it s good to see him still on the seen alive and well .

GREAT VIDEO, I KNEW LEON ISAAC PERSONALY, WE BOTH GRADUATED IN THE SAME YEAR FROM JOHN ADAMS HIGH SCHOOL IN CLEVELAND. HE WAS A GOOD DIS JOCKY IN CLEVELAND ON WABQ RADIO. THE LAST TIME I SAW HIM HE CAME TO A CLASS REUNION . I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT YEAR THAT WAS. WE BOTH GRADUATED IN 1966. HE WAS A JUNE GRAD, I WAS A JANUARY GRAD, BUT THE SAME YEAR. HE WAS BOUND TO BE A WINNER. SO HAPPY HE IS DOING WELL.

Glad to see a celeb from that time still here and doing well. So many have not survived.

It's a blessing to have a show to know where some of the movie stars went

He aged beautifully

Glad to see the brother he looks good he always going to look good with the grace of God and doing the God's work God bless you brother stay well

Awesome! He does look great and he looks at peace!

I remember this brotha! Glad to know he's still around and doing well. Thanks for sharing that.

I grew up in Cleveland, OH, he was a very popular DJ on WGMO radio, he was known as Leon Isaac, it was very disappointing that he took on Jane Kennedy's last name to help further her career, that was just not done back then and still is not today. Glad he is doing well today.

And Leon and Jane are my Homies from Cleveland Ohio.

Drop dead gorgeous! You Go Leon Issac Kennedy! Keep On Serving The Lord ! Prayer & Love Is The Key ! God Bless 🙏🏼♥️STAY SAFE TO U & FAMILY🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😁👌

This guy’s a class act. Thanks for posting. Memory lane

I was young but i was in love with him❤ he still looks good.

appears to be a good man looks like he's lead a real charmed life🙏🙏

As a boy I saw this movie and it is still on today on certain channels. One of the best lines in the movie was " I bust the Buster ". Then he took Half-Deads Mr Good bar and ate it.

Nice to see & hear Leon's tribute to Ali, thanks for this video.

Thanks for this. I was (and still am) a big fan of Ms. Falana -- and miss the true 'art' of the authenicblack stage PERFORMER, prior to heavy electronics, and simply given an 'artist' a contract and millions of $$$ simply for their looks, or what's 'trending' at the time. Glad she's alive and well. Peace.

Wow!! Terry I loved this video man!! I glad he’s alive and doing well for himself. Growing up in the 80’s I loved the penitentiary movies too! The second one was my favorite!! He’s too fast he’s too quick he’s Too Sweet!!! 💨💨💨

Oh my goodness I was happy to see this! I was a big fan of the handsome Leon Issac for years it is great to know he is well.

Wonderful he looks amazing 💕

Leon and Jayne helped run a famous back in the 70s, Disco 1985 in Hollywood; they also had the 1st celebrity sex tape; he helped Smokey get clean after a rough patch (which Smokey has talked about). I saw Leon last year on Hollywood Bl., when they were giving Jackie Wilson a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and Smokey and Berry were amongst the celebrities at the ceremony. Leon always had a smile on his face; a positive spirit.

Knights of The City was originally set to be released in 1984 as Cries of The City

Cool video homeboy. Thanks for the content. I can still hear the little man in his corner saying "You got to feel it Too Sweet, Feel it!". Stull makes me laugh.

Leon Kennedy was To he It guy in the late 1970's when I was in High School. He looks very wonderful. I can see how the anointing of God is resting upon him. May God 🙏❣️ continue to bless him and his ministry.

He Still Looks Wonderful 😍

Good to see you. Leon. Bless you so much.

Leon Isaac Kennedy AKA MARTEL 'TOO SWEET' GORDONE, brings me back fun memories in the 80s watching the PENITENTIARY movies on VHS. Blessings to him being alive and very well🙏Another one of my Hollywood heroes. Nice update, Terry👍✌👍✌

Excellent Gentleman...❤️👑☝🏾🙏🏾

God Bless Him!!! I never knew what happened to Leon! I'm glad that he found The Lord! As you can see, God Fills Voids and Turns Lives Around!!!

Ain’t that Too Sweet 😂😂😂😂

Ageless. God bless you. Keep on doing GOD'S work 😇

Leon Isaac Kennedy was definitely ahead of the game as far as writing and producing his own films. Unfortunately he didn't have the big budgets and the quality was not quite up to par. You're right about him not becoming a Bigger Star for what he accomplished.

Great video! I remember Leon well! Happy to see he’s doing well, and wish him all the best!
