Album Young Gifted and Black. Young, Gifted And Black Lyrics. In the whole world, you know There's a million boys and girls Who are young, gifted and black And that's a fact. Young, gifted and black We must begin to tell our young There's a world waiting for you This is a quest that's just begun. When you feel really low Yeah, there's a great truth you should know That you are young, gifted and black Your soul's intact.

Young, Gifted and Black (Jamaican Mix). Bob Andy first attracted attention as the lead vocalist of The Paragons, which he founded with Tyrone Evans and Howard Barrett, later joined by John Holt. When he left the group in 1966 to pursue a solo career he released the smash hit ‘I’ve Got To Go Back Home’, a song which has become a much-loved anthem for Jamaicans. In 1970, international recognition came when Bob and Marcia recorded Nina Simone’s ‘Young, Gifted and Black’, which sold 1/2 million in the UK and Europe, and still receives frequent airplay today. BOB & MARCIA became household names, appearing on Top of the Pops and touring extensively.

To Be Young, Gifted and Black" is a song by Nina Simone with lyrics by Weldon Irvine. It was written in memory of Simone's late friend Lorraine Hansberry, author of the play A Raisin in the Sun, who had died in 1965 aged 34. The song was originally recorded and released by Simone in 1969. The song was also featured on her 1970 album Black Gold and was considered an anthem of the Civil Rights Movement. Released as a single, it peaked at number eight on the R&B chart and number 76 on the Hot 100.

Young, Gifted And Black was part of the soundtrack and together with Black And White by Greyhound, they talked of a future of understanding and acceptance. What I didn’t know at the time was the two huge talents behind the sound, Bob Andy and Marcia Griffiths, already had long and successful careers behind them by the time they teamed up. Bob Andy had been a member of the Paragons, but had left to develop a solo career and hone his songwriting skills. Even so We Know gets the album off to a good start, a pacey rhythm section powering things along on a Bob Andy original and both vocalists are clearly on fine form.
