Louis Farrakhan is The Charmer
Before Louis Farrakhan became the leader and the Supreme Minister of the Nation of Islam, he was known as Louis Eugene Walcott aka The Charmer.
A comedic dopplegänger of Harry Belafonte, The Charmer was a regionally popular Calypso musician who performed at nightclubs and recorded an album in the early 50s.
His original composition "Is She Is, Or Is She Ain't," pre-dates the cross dressing classics "Lola" or "Walk On the Wild Side" by decades. This toe tappin' Calypso single addresses a confusing dilemma of having to identify the gender of a post - op female transsexual.
The Honorable Minister never sounded so confused...
