Father(s)

Varnado, who was a Vietnam War veteran, singer, and mail carrier, left the family only three months after Broadus' birth, and thus he was named after his stepfather, Calvin Cordozar Broadus Sr. - this needs further explanation and arguably doesn't make sense. Was he named something else until his biological father walked out? Was he not named at all until after his biological father walked out? Or was he named Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. after a man who wasn't his father but by an amazing coincidence later became his stepfather.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:49, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
