[78-L] Sonny didn't compose it

[David Lennick]

Just playing Sam Manning's "Go Back to You Ma' and by golly, that tune is "St. 
Thomas", one of Sonny Rollins' best known compositions. Well, well.

I know..everybody probably knew that 55 years ago when it was also known as 
Fire Down There by Randy Weston.

Some of these ditties would definitely fail the political correctness standards 
these days..Sweet Willie, for instance, contains the line "You can black up my 
eye but stay with me, Willie don't you go from me".
