There is a whole genre' of female recordings that deal with sex. Believe me the lyrics on those records would shock the supposedly jaded public today. And they were recorded in the twenties and thirties.
What do people think a"One-Eyed cat; peepin in a seafood store" might mean?
Thats very tame compared to whats on record.
Redd Foxx recorded a lot of the jokes along with Moms Mabley but many of the real hard-core artists I don't know the names.
Signifying Monkey had to do with release from prison right?
Bessie Smith did some raunch records also.
BTW; The Last Poets; thanks Thats the stuff I like. I listened to a couple poems and I've ordered the CD.
