As a singer, songwriter, playwright, poet, civil rights activist, and actor, Oscar Brown Jr. seems to encompass each of his talents into one over-the-top performance on "But I Was Cool". This 1961 tune delivers a cool Jazz swing but on vocals Oscar goes ballistic, making it one of the most unique Soul songs you're likely to hear. Enjoy the sounds of a performing artist who's not afraid to let loose and pour out his emotions on the track.
