You really dont know why?
Because he made that for the Movie Watermelon man.
Its was a story of the white suburban guy who wakes up one day and he has turned black.
The movie is about racism you idiot
I did this in the original thread, but I'll do it again...
“Watermelon Man” is a jazz standard written by Herbie Hancock, first released on his debut album, Takin’ Off (1962), in a grooving hard bop version that featured improvisations by Freddie Hubbard and Dexter Gordon.

Herbie Hancock wrote the song "Watermelon Man" in 1962, 8 years before the movie of the same name was released. Since you were shown this in the last thread, your claim now is a lie.
Your right !
I always thought he wrote it for the movie.
He didnt he wrote and recorded it as a poromotional song.
The director of the movie wrote the sound track to the film.
My appologies for being wrong.
thank you for the correction.
