"It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes. -

He is! Interesting story on Wikipedia.In order to ensure significant airplay on the African American-dominated R&B radio format of the time, Caldwell's management took certain steps — such as portraying the artist only in silhouette on the cover and in advertisements — to hide the fact that he was white. The secret was, for obvious reasons, shattered by his first live appearances.

Very interesting indeed. You know I bought this song on iTunes a few months ago and noticed the digital artwork that came with the song, probably from the album that the song was on originally and I remember thinking that it was a great shot of a silhouette sitting on a bench with the moon in the background. I always thought he was a black guy until I read this thread.
I guess at the time it was a great idea but I would want to think that the success of people like Robin Thicke shows that would not have to be done today to make it a R&B hit, and it really is a great song ."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick DouglassComment
