No, it certainly didn't fall on deaf ears. I was 7 when this song came out. We weren't that long past the civil rights movement, and there was a hope for the future at that time. Though I never would have dreamed that in 2024 it would still be the major issue it is. Not that things haven't changed, but we're not where I thought we would be to be sure, and it seems like that hope for the future is dying if not dead. Maybe in a couple more generations.

I was 10 when this came out. I never saw segregation as a child in Kansas City. The schools were desegregated before I attended. I knew there were racists, but my parents didn't have those feelings and it wouldn't have occurred to me to have those feelings. I look back now and understand how songs like this shaped my heart and mind. And I'm thankful for all the friendships I've had throughout my life. Those musicians, from the Beatles, Paul Williams, and John Denver, to Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, did change the world for the better. By the way, this song was written by the actor Alan Arkin's dad and a composer/musician from Seattle named Earl Robinson. It was recorded first in 1956 by Pete Seeger and then by Sammy Davis, Jr in 1957. Just some trivia.

Three Dog Night released their version in 1972. It was written by Earl Robinson in 1954. The song was first recorded by Pete Seeger in 1956, followed by Sammy Davis Jr. in 1957. The song's author Earl Robinson released his own recording in 1957. Earl Robinson was inspired by the United States Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which outlawed racial segregation of public schools. The original lyrics of the song opened with this verse, in reference to the court: Their robes were black, their heads were white, The schoolhouse doors were closed so tight, Nine judges all set down their names, To end the years and years of shame. However, the version of the song recorded by Greyhound, and subsequently covered by Three Dog Night in 1972, did not include this verse - making the song more universal, but also less historically specific. -source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_and_White_(Three_Dog_Night_song)

Some trivia for you:: The African Canadian, black drummer for Three Dog Night was Floyd Chester Sneed who was born November 22, 1942 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and died January 27, 2023 at 80 years of age, was a Canadian drummer for the band Three Dog Night. He became interested in drums at at a young age. His first drum kit was gifted from his older sister Maxine who was married to the musician/actor Tommy Chong of Cheech & Chong who was also a Canadian. In 1966 he formed his own band and moved to Los Angeles, California. In 1968 Floyd Sneed met three vocalists Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, and Cory Wells of Three Dog Night who were looking for backing musicians, he then joined their new band as drummer until it broke up in 1977. But he continued to work with other bands including an longer extended tour with The Ohio Players.

I found out later that she was technically my grandma's housekeeper (although they seemed to share the load fairly equally). But for the first seven or so years of my life, I thought she was one of my aunts. She certainly had full authority to whoop my ass if necessary. For clarification, she looked more akin to Julius Erving while I looked more like Larry Bird. I was shocked to find out we weren't actually related. These things are learned.

No one is born completely selfless, etc., but Jamel's right - little ones don't see color, and I wish everyone could stay that way. Parents are the key, as well as one's peer group (as they get a little older). There's a commercial on TV - I don't even remember what it's advertising - but at the end there's two little guys, probably about 3 years old, who go running towards each other on the sidewalk. One is black, the other is white. They meet and throw their arms around each other as if to say, "There you are! My best friend in the whole world!!" I'm positive they couldn't care less about the other's color. Makes my heart swell and eyes well every time. 💕🕊️💕🕊️💕

The story I heard about the idea for He Ain't Heavy, He's my brother. The story first started in 1884. It was in a book tittled, the parables of Jesus, there was a little girl carrying a big baby boy, someone asked her if she as tired, she replied, no, he's not heavy, he's my brother. In the 1940s, the phrase, he ain't heavy he's my brother as used by boys town, started in 1918 after a boy was carrying another boy with polio up some stairs, when Fr. Flanagan asked if he was heavy he said no Father, he ain't heavy he's my brother. There is a statue of a boy carrying another boy on his back at boys town, Nebraska. There was also a Vietnam story, about a boy carrying his dead brother during the war.

Pre-ripped jeans are the stupidest thing I've ever seen! Pay a lot of money to look poor. the TV sitcom in the 80s (Family Ties) had a funny bit about this. The daughter came in with ripped jeans which she had just bought. Her brother said he could have charged her to rip them. She said, "Oh but these are professionally ripped!"

This is one of my all time favorite songs. This song was written in 1955, I think and was first performed by Pete Seeger in 1956. Three dog night brought this song back to life. Wish they had done this during MLK’s message to the world. You can’t be any more clearer than what this song is trying to convey. All I can say is WOW! I was born in 1955 so I was in my teens when Three Dog Night made this song popular again in 1972. Rock on. BTW, this song makes me cry when I hear it.

I was a little girl when this song came out - not even school age. I attended nursery school (so I was about 3 yrs. or 4 yrs. old.) I heard later that the best way the daycare workers found to entertain myself, my best friend & a few others (incl. her little sister), was to just turn the radio on in the corner of the room & our little group would spend a bunch of time (not ALL of it, but a bunch) just singing & dancing with the radio music. I remember that THIS was one of my favourite songs. It was for two reasons. The first reason was because of the music in it. The second reason was because - I was a little white girl singing & dancing to this, with my best friend, who was a little black girl. The words "the child is black, the child is white, together they learn to read & write" seemed extra special to me because they applied to me & my best friend. YOU ARE WRONG, when you say that "CHILDREN DON'T SEE COLOUR". YES, THEY DO. THEY JUST DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH COLOUR! Colour (just like EVERY other difference) to a child is simply a curiosity to learn about - NOTHING MORE. I bet it must have been a nice sight to see myself & my best friend & her little sister singing & dancing together to this - black & white little girls together having a great time together doing nothing but singing & dancing to (among others) ....this song. Love from Canada.

This song was written by Earl Robinson, a family friend of ny parents. They were all left-wing activists in the 50's and 60's. It was written originally as a children's song. If you want to know more about the movement, there is a boxed set of music called Songs For Political Action, put out by Bear Records. It includes Pete Seeger. Woody Guthrie, my Dad Morrie Goodson of Goodson and Vale. Great stuff. This version came out in the early 70's. Peace!

Lots of different 1:17 kinds of dancing!! Not just one or two. It’s going away too with the added hatred. Then we were optimistic about life and making the world a good place for everyone! Including wild animals and the earth. It was so promising. People believed it back then!!
