No two people on earth are alike, and it's got to be that way in music or it isn't music. - Billie Holiday

I ain't good looking
And my hair ain't curls
But my mother she give me something
It's going to carry me through this world.

Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own.

You can be up to your boobies in white satin, with gardenias in your hair and no sugar cane for miles, but you can still be working on a plantation.
