Beans and Corn Bread

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

It is used as the theme song for the TBS 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.[2][3][4][5]
