Sh-Boom!! Original or Cover, Black Or White? Hey, this is my recent JAM!
Which version do you prefer, The Chords, which was produced by Jerry Wexler and is quite black in a 1953 kinda way, and the more conventional but more carefully arranged Crew-Cuts version? | |

1stly I do not understand how race has to do with a version of a song. I find this quite ignorant and racist. you could've said " which version do you prefer" instead of throwing a color line in the subject. | |

I wanted to provoke you. It's ignorant. On the other side... the question is: why was the Crew-Cuts version more succesful? Is it the old tale of the white man stealing from the black culture and making it it's own? So, it's def there for a reason. Also, when starting threads it's my intention to provoke thoughts, to make people argue over sth. It's legitimate. [Edited 8/2/09 11:11am] | |
