Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes

This is a song written and performed by Paul Simon, from his album 'Graceland', released in 1986.

It is about a short relationship Paul Simon had with a diamond mine owner's daughter, while recording in South Africa. She was very rich and privileged, yet she acted very down to earth, like a poor girl.

It has backing vocals from the South African group Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

Diamonds from Sierra Leonne

Hypocritical song and video from Kanye West. Blaming all of Sierra Leone's problems on white people. Totally disregarding the fact that the hiphop industry, yes industry, promotes the wearing of diamonds in the form of bling. You cannot tell me all of those diamonds are conflict free.
"Yo La Taniqua dats some sweet Bling, is dem conflict free diamonds?"

"Don't axe me fool, you know only whities diamonds is conflict diamonds."

"Ah dats right,Kanye taught us that."
