"Well, what happened was, I was between nine and 11 years old. We didn’t have electricity, and she was combing her hair in the mirror — matter of fact, I speak to her onstage every night before I play this song — one afternoon when the sun was going down, and I peeped at her in the mirror and I said — I was just playing — 'Mama, you good-lookin’. And she said, 'Son, that’s only skin deep.'
I was on the bus talking with my producer and he said, 'Man, you write songs without even knowing it,' and he was noting down what we were talking about and when we got to the studio he came up with this song. You know, you take a person down to the skeleton, down the bones — you can’t tell if they were black or white."
