Default You've Got To Be Carefully Taught, 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein

"You've Got to Be Carefully Taught" is a show tune from the 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific.

South Pacific received scrutiny for its commentary regarding relationships between different races and ethnic groups. In particular, "You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught" was subject to widespread criticism, judged by some to be too controversial or downright inappropriate for the musical stage. Sung by the character Lieutenant Cable, the song is preceded by a line saying racism is "not born in you! It happens after you’re born..."


This version is from James Taylor's latest album American Standards.

What a beautiful song- wasn't aware of this one. That Martin sounds absolutely wonderful- you sure have some wonderful instrument Rene. You must tell us about them some time. Your voice is such a wonderful instrument

Hi Robbie,
Thank you for your wonderful comments, and such huge compliment, especially on the voice instrument.
This Martin is truly special, and I got it tunes a while step down to D on regular tuning, and it can handle it ok.
What guitar were you using on the traditional Welsh Hymn, and what tuning are you using.
Very beautiful tone on your guitar.
Thank you so very much, Robbie!!!
With love and respect,
Rene
