WKFY

[Bob Nelson]

The song mentioned is Brother Louie by the Stories. It was about an
inter-racial love affair and was originally a hit for the British band Hot
Chocolate. ("She was black as the night, Louie was whiter than white...he
took her home to meet his father and his mother, man they had a terrible
fight")
