Thread Name: Lyr Add: Raise a Ruckus (from Uncle Earl)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Raise a Ruckus (Uncle Earl Edition)
As noted in this earlier thread Bette Davis sang this in "Jezebel." I happened to catch that part of it, again, last night, and found it interesting that she and the "slave" singers pronounced it "rue cuss." Is that a Lousianna thing or just Hollywood?

Thanks,
