Santa Claus is a black man

A great little party Christmas album from Jimmy Pelham — recorded in a style that’s somewhere between that of early Redd Foxx, and later work by Blowfly! Jimmy’s talking and singing throughout — telling some off-color stories and mixing in song parodies — all before a very enthusiastic audience!

Blowfly Disco  Blowfly  Weird World Records

When was the last time you were at a party like this? I won’t file this under “cheesecake”. Blowfly made lots of crude, offensive and funny records on the Weird World label.
