About the title
A Black boy from a poor family in the Bayou had two dreams in life he was willing to take risks for. In love with the girl next door, he did everything he could to win the beauty's heart. Lynn's wealthy parents were strongly against a Black son-in-law. The young man believed the only way to change their attitude was to achieve professional success. He dreamed of becoming a jazzman whose concerts would draw fans from countries around the world.
