Beans and Corn Bread

"Beans and Corn Bread" is a 1949 jump blues song by Louis Jordan and Tympany Five, released by Decca. It was written by Jordan (under his wife's name, Fleecie Moore^[1]) and Fred B. Clark.^[2]

It is used as the theme song for the WTBS program Dinner and a Movie as well as being featured in the 1992 film Malcolm X.

Beans and cornbread was also the traditional meal served to NASA launch crews following a successful space shuttle launch. The tradition was begun on April 12, 1981, by NASA test director Norm Carlson and was continued after every successful launch.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]
