Esperanza Spalding ~ Throw It Away

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

This song was written by Abbey Lincoln, who has recorded it several times herself. This is the 1980 version.
