So that phrase "nappy headed" came from a song by Stevie Wonder.

I think it started here

If that’s what “nappy” is, then it started with Buckwheat on “The Lil’ Rascals”.

So that phrase "nappy headed" came from a song by Stevie Wonder.

I thought I'd look it up...

"I Wish"
by Stevie Wonder

Looking back on when I
Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring

Stevie Wonder Lyrics
