The Girl can't Help It
[edit]The theme song of this movie was sung by Little Richard. Abbey Lincoln sang a song called "Spread the Word," and that's all that's listed at IMDb. Was there a version of the title song by her that ended up on the cutting-room floor?

Among her other note-worthy schieve,ments was the first American of african descent to sport an "Afro" (otherwise known as a "Natural") hairdo, which did not involve any oils and such to 'straighten out' her natural "kinky" hair, which was made to be looked down upon for centries by white, caucasian social "conventions" as being shameful, to much reactive "controversey", and, in some quarters, derision. She appeared on one of the 1950s "variety" TV shows; I beieve it was "The Jack Parr Show" --184.248.1.71 (talk) 00:53, 11 April 2016 (UTC)Veryverser

Abbey Lincoln (August 6, 1930 – August 14, 2010) was an American jazz vocalist, songwriter, and actress. Beginning in the 1960s, she made a career out of delivering deeply felt presentations as well as writing and singing her own material. Her lyrics often reflected the ideals of the civil rights movement and helped in generating passion for the cause in the minds of her listeners. She explored more philosophical themes during the later years of her songwriting career and remained professionally active until well into her seventies. She also ventured into acting and appeared on television, and in films such as The Girl Can't Help It and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. This photograph shows Lincoln in performance at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam in 1966, and is part of the collection of Anefo, a Dutch photograph press agency.
