Wasn’t the “nappy headed” reference first in a song by that “ebony and ivory” songster? What’s his name?
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, who admitted to having been a “nappy headed boy” in that song (Title? “Where Did Those Days Go?”).
