All of you are stupid. If any of you were black, or even alive then, you would know. A diamond in the back refers to a diamond shape in the "Landau" custom top in the back of the Caddilac. This was widely popular. The song was by William Devaughn, Curtis Mayfield would have never done a song like this. No remix exists. |
