[SPAZZOBOXER]

A Song that forcefully & directly pushed the issue of equanimity and respect through a simple blues progression. Although the origin/authorship of this riff & lyrical message probably dates to unknown,imprecise sources from decades before Bo's mid fifties recording; he was the first to record it & get it played on American radio. The impact of a Black Man singing a song so titled, helped change perceptions & awareness in the never ending, ever evolving issue of true societal equality.
