[78-L] Big Bill Broonzy at the Inauguration

[soundthink at aol.com]

I'm home, and I was right. Seeger did "Black, Brown & White Blues" on Charter 40. It can be heard on Bear Family's "Songs for Political Action" box set.

My copy of Broonzy's version is on Vogue V.2077 (British issue).

 Yes. I have it by Broonzy on a French Vogue 78, recorded around 1951.  
 I'm not home to check, but Pete Seeger may have done it also.

 Lowery misquoted the song (if he even knew it existed). The correct  
 lines are:

 If you're white, you're all right
 If you are brown, stick around,
 But if you're black, oh brother.
 Get back, get back, get back

 Black Brown and White Blues quoted/modified in Joseph Lowery's  
 benediction.  Was
 this ever a 78?  Washboard Sam (Broonzy's half-brother?) sang the  
 verse melody
 in Out With The Wrong Woman.

 NOTE:  If religious matters or songs about cross-dressers upset you,  
 go no
 further.
