the sheik of r&b
Singer: ray stevens
well now there was a sheik from saudi
had a rolls and two ferraris
and a harem that would please any man
oh yeah
a palace i am told
just loaded with gold
a hundred thousand acre farm in sudan
oh
wells pumpin' every day and night
but he wasn't satisfied with his material life
something was missing
he was so confused
and then he started digging rhythm and blues
yeah one night by accident
out of a us army tent
he heard a strange new
jumpin' beat
oh
it was pleasantly disturbin'
and it moved him from his turban
to the sandals on his feet
ray charles
b.b. king
and bob edgar ran
james brown and bo diddly and desi anderson
he said at last
i found my destiny
