Afro Blue You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

One of my favorite versions is by Oscar Brown Jr,. who wrote the lyrics for Mongo's music. I'm too lazy to thumb through my old vinyl, but I think it was on his first album, Sin and Soul. Never trust anything spoken in the presence of an erection.

Probably because she's on Verve, who sometimes blocks their stuff from being uploaded.

Thank you, MickyDolenz. I think I've decided, upon listening, that Oscar's IS my favorite!! Never trust anything spoken in the presence of an erection.
