Thanks everyone, for the kind remarks. Paulski, the cinderella man was indeed the boxer James Braddock. He rose from poverty in the thirties, to take the heavyweight championship of the world when no one gave him a chance, hence the nickname. He became the peoples champion, and was seen as an inspiration for millions of working class poor during the depression. I was really struggling for a title for this song, in fact it was the last thing to come. The idea being that all those poor folk were cinderellas, and fighters, though very few made it to the ball. The movie is also worth checking out.
