Black Happy Birthday

Stevie Wonder recorded a song to MLK on his Album, Hotter than July, that became the black, "Happy Birthday" song. Stevie Wonder recorded a tribute song to MLK on his Album, Hotter than July, (to promote the creation of an MLK day), that was "Happy Birthday". Since Blacks wanted to invent a culture separate than the rest of America, it is fairly commonly the Black Version of Happy Birthday (the chorus at least). Though many/most don't know where it came from. ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2022-05-16
