I see that the propagandistic message in the song's lyrics did not go unnoticed by some of our viewers. Remember, this was a tune made during the WW II era. And our brothers and sisters were encouraged to help in the fight to protect the American way. For African Americans, it soon became known as the "Double V Campaign" orchestrated by the influential weekly black newspaper, the Pittsburgh Courier. The "V" stood for victory. It was advocated that Black participation in the war effort needed to result in victories over enemies of equal opportunities and social justice for blacks at home in America as well as those who threatened it in foreign lands. In our enjoying and appreciating the diverse talents of our entertainers, it is crucial to see how so very often--their skills were exploited to secure the status quo! Peace and Blessings!!!
Ethel Harper hired a very young Herman Blount to write arrangements for her band, eventually hiring Blount (whom later changed his name to Sun Ra) to join her band, all prior to her joining the Ginger Snaps. Per "Space is the Place" by John F Szwed
Strange delivery. How performances have changed the Ginger Snaps are relying on vocals and harmony but now it seems the music is incidental and the performance about some occult ritual.
@@MisterTaylor2967 Well they stole our ideas and are using them still.They own the major movie companies that are well known.Our talent is ours.So they mimic and copy us.We are the true gold.They reap the major benifits through their control.Its plain & simple.
Can't deny the talent, but it's kinda hard to watch them sing pro-American WWII propaganda and knowing how horrible they'd be discriminated against back home.

They stole all our talent I see.
They can only mimic our talent it can never be stolen.
