I had several copies of the album. Every time I played it for someone, like my Panama hat the album and the hat left My place as gifts. The whole album is a “gas”. 1968-69
Okay, so a question - on the interweb I've often seen this composition attributed to Nina Simone, but I'm guessing that Billy Taylor devised the melody and Ms Simone subsequently independently wrote the lyrics. Anyone know what actually happened here?
