S.O.D. "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" by Chuck Berry

September 03, 2020 by Dave Hollifield

8/2/2020  This 1956 song written by Berry, sparked some racial tension.  Berry was inspired to write the tune after visiting several African-American and Hispanic areas in California.  Check out the lyrics in the fifth verse, kind of extreme.  On the Billboard R&B Singles chart, it topped out at #5.  Many cover versions have been composed.
