The title “Backdoor Man” is an old jazz slang designation for a guy who sneaks around the homes of married women. Sung Vanita Smythe, an African American singer who came to prominence in the 1940s for her daring lyrics………..
“He comes in through the kitchen door
Warms my dinner & then some more
He’s my idol & I’m his fan
That’s my back door man.
Hangs his hat up in my play room
Starts to weaving upon my loom/ He’s my idol & I’m his fan
He’s my back door man.Well he knows all the answers
And he knows right from wrong
He inspires my music
He does a whole long of things to my song.
He ain’t rich & I don’t care
All I want is his love to share/ He’s my idol & I’m his fan
He’s my back door man.
