I'm A Man (1972) pg1
Before becoming a declaration of brazen androgynous hesitation, "Im Maman" was a love song of odd self-assertion. The original title was "I'm A Man," changed to "Im Maman"- as 'maman' is the French word for mother- as masculine solidity fades to a creature who's a marriage of mother & son, extending himself here to another man, or the man he might be? It may owe to the romance with Oatis Stephens, which inspired "Be Still."
