The song “Color Him Father” is one of those rare positive message songs of the era that dominated the classic soul and pop airwaves back in 1969. The song reached # 2 on the R&B charts and #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the same year achieving gold record status. The song was one of the best known songs by The Winstons a funk and soul group.
He goes to work each day, stays all day long
He comes home each night looking tired and beat
He sits down at the dinner table and has a bite to eat
When he says to me how’s my child
I’ve been studying hard all day in school
Tryin’ to understand the golden rule
Think I’ll color this man father
I think I’ll color him love
Said I’m gonna color him father
I think I’ll color the man love, yes I will
He says education is the thing if you wanna compete
Because without it son, life ain’t very sweet
I love this man I don’t know why
Except I’ll need his strength till the day that I die
My mother loves him and I can tell
By the way she looks at him when he holds my little sister Nell
I heard her say just the other day
That if it hadn’t been for him she wouldn’t have found her way
My real old man he got killed in the war
And she knows she and seven kids couldn’t of got very far
She said she thought that she could never love again
And then there he stood with that big wide grin
He married my mother and he took us in
And now we belong to the man with that big wide grin
Think I’ll color this man father
I think I’ll color him love
Said I’m gonna color him father

Hi. On my blog, I always try to keep my posts to 500-700 words. Why? Because that’s optimal for Google/Yahoo/Bing to rank you well so people can find you blog. We all want to get more readers and increase our visitors right? 🙂 Just my 2 cents. Regards, Doug Mrotz
