never heard the Black Day in July song. but i know it was about the 1967 Detroit race riots. i asked Varerie about the song when her GL site was in operation and i think she claimed it was released as a single in the Detroit area and was banned. she even claimed he got a lot of heat for it. while she gave me her thoughts and what she knows, i'd thought i'd ask if any of you know exactly what or why people were irritated at Lightfoot and who did he get citisizum from? i've read the lyrics to the song and they don't seem all that bad. what do you think?
