there are hundreds of songs about muhmmad ali, but i suspect that
yours is johnny wakelin's "black superman (muhammad ali)" (covered,
incidentally, on "thai beat a-go-go, volume3").

there is at least one compilation of muhammad ali songs. the one that
WXDU has in its library is "hits and misses."

Hey, so I'm trying to track down this song:

"Muhammad... Muhammad Ali / He floats like a butterfly, and stings like
a bee / Muhammad... the black Superman / He calls to the other guy, I'm
Ali... catch me if you can"

I heard it on WXYC a while back and it sounded for all the world like
Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam, but I can't find any references to that song
on-line, beyond a couple of people of wondering out loud about it. Who
actually did it? What's it called? Album?

Thanks!
Chris
