**This real life event happened in 1980
(If I hadn't walked past my older brother's bedroom door I wouldn't have realized that I needed some more)** Ladies and Gentlemen, his time came much sooner Then we could have imagined, now mourning this crooner On the verge of this pinnacle, about to be on top I speak of the memorial of one Reginald Belford Scott Just a statement to the world with this cover Simply to let us all know they need time to mourn for their brother All colors, no colors, none segregated Black placard venerated From the opening bells tolling, decibels reverberated To the ending with a rock n roll sermon elevated A power punch with this Nineteen Eighties driller (all killer no filler) Now the second bestselling album to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” Yes, it’s plain with an embossed band’s logo It’s a value (not a hue) as far as artists go It leaves much to our imaginations I think that’s on purpose, to allow ruminations So, here’s some peace for all those who lack Wait for the headlines, we will be “Back in Black”
