On February 22, 1981 Frankie Smith released the R&B#1/US#30 hit "Double Dutch Bus". The song celebrates double dutch jump roping and the bus system in his native Philadelphia. You can hear how Smith's singing style influenced Tone-Loc while breaking into the IZ slang inspired Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube. Rap music is still literally about having a good time.
