This song never got the play and popularity it deserved. It is long, and full of lyrics that make people highly uncomfortable. It is a young old song, more relevant today then when it was first written and preformed. It's actual title in the Unabridged version is "Monster Suicide America"
My pleasure, glad to re-introduce a great old song. When I was mining youtube.com, I discovered this gem of a singer who died tragically of cancer far too young. In fact, this was the song I was looking for, and got her in a search for Louis Armstrong.
She became famous posthumously with only her recordings she and friends had made. If you have a mind to, she is worth listening to. Even though there is sadness knowing what might of been which is deepened profoundly when one realizes the depth of her talent she had been blessed with.
