The R.B.D. Black History Month Song o' the Day

Anti-Valentine's '18
Sam Cooke, "Sad Mood" from Portrait of a Legend, 1951-1964 (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary: Does it really seem wise to predicate one's happiness on the capricious whims & moods of a paramour?
"I'm in a sad mood tonight,
Oh, I'm in a sad mood!
I'm in a sad mood tonight,
Oh, my baby done gone away and left me,
My baby done gone, yeah,
My baby done gone away and left me,
My baby done gone.

"I don't know why she left me,
I don't know where she's gone,
But all I know is I'll never be happy
Until my baby comes back home…"
