A week at Sanibel in July and I’m quite darker than either and I’m stone cold Mississippi wood

But I’ll tell you who was part black

Dinah Shore ...famous Nashville Jew from mid last century

Good looking gracious blonde southern woman

I don’t know that she ever claimed to be Egyptian though

Jews in Nashville?
Are there any country western Jewish singers? Talk about ODD. Ray Benson, Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys...just odd to me.
However, knowing how life is it's not so surprising. There MUST be an Arab country western singer. There is.

From Wikipedia:

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Ask Kareem Salama, billed as the first Muslim country-western singer, what makes his music “country,” and he grins for about half a beat before answering, “Probably my accent.” Heidi Schumann for The New York Times
Kareem Salama, a singer from rural Oklahoma, at the Great America theme park in California.

It is a full-bore Southern drawl, rooted in his rural Oklahoma childhood, and startling to those who don’t expect an Arabic name to come intertwined with such a distinct down-home voice. But the question hanging over Mr. Salama’s nascent career is whether he can find acceptance for both parts of his identity.

Just plain WEIRD.
Next we'll see a "good ole boy" singing "Hava Naglia" (הבה נגילה "Let us rejoice") in Jerusalem, replete with Stetson, boots, belt buckle--spittin' out his wad.
