"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 WTBS program Dinner and a Movie as well as being featured in the 1992 film Malcolm X.
