Subject: | When can brown begin ... |
Message: | ... it`s start today! Aware when I write this, show the clock in some places of US of A, that the day still is the 19th January. Here in Denmark is time 7.00 a.m., 20th January. This tune of Jimmy`s, here mention, is recorded by Scott Walker, Supremes and J.W. (studio and live, London - 1972), plus some few more artist. Jimmy wanted so much Sammy Davis Jr.* to record this and if I remember right, also Ray Charles. * was writtin to him. Jimmy Webb as most here know, start up with his songwriting as proff. around 1964-65 at Motown, Jobete Music in Los Angeles. When can brown begin! To my mind it always seems a little strange That people won't do the things You know they ought to Some folks say the world, it never gonna change But in my heart I do believe Those are the folks who guide to Can't or for not to The day turns bright and night turns wonderful Twilight never really brings into an end If white is right and black is beautiful, Lord, tell me when can brown begin Tell me, people, when can brown begin Fire and water won't be mixed in, so they say But I've seen the steamclouds Floating high and free Salt and pepper don't get in each other's way No, they just cooked together And when they don't agree, they just let each other be The day turns bright and night turns wonderful Twilight never really brings into an end If white is right and black is beautiful, Lord, tell me when can brown begin Tell me, people, when can brown begin (repeat til fade) © CANOPY MUSIC, INC Writer Jimmy Webb 1970 sincerely erik "the Dane" |
