Cynique Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 As I recall, this song was at one time banned from being sung in popular white night clubs. When Bille Holiday wanted to include it in her repetoir during one of her engagements, the white patrons were so offended by the subject of this song, that the club's management demanded that she omit it. The title was taken from the name of a book by white author, Lillian Smith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
