I'm afraid you're totally off.

Sonny Rhodes is African American. The singer was not, and according to the fan transcript is named Ronald Craig Williams.

But I always thought it would be fun in a future episode/movie to have the gang in a bar with Sonny Rhodes singing. Then as they leave the bar, he starts a new song: "Take my love..."
