Clarence Reid died in January of this year. When I began looking into Reid's background I had expected to find a typical "soul artist who slipped between the cracks" type-story, as so many amazing soul singers seem to go overlooked. Only a small percentage of these singers are reexamined, by someone who digs up their old material, and even a smaller percentage of these singers have their work rereleased and repressed, usually on an independent record label. This typical backstory was NOT what I found when I sought information for Clarence Reid. Clarence Reid started out as a typical soul singing crooner, but didn't reach any great success until he began recording as Blowfly and making sexually-explicit, adult "party records" full of X-rated, Weird Al style covers that played off of the original popular songs. Blowfly also wore a superhero costume and posed on most if his covers with the accompaniment of many nude women. Blowfly managed to place himself on Billboard's U.S. charts, and numerous artists (Wu-Tang Clan, DJ Shadow, Beyonce, DJ Daddy Kane, Mary J. Blige, to name a few) have sampled Reid's work, keeping his sound alive, far past his prime. On this week's 32nd playlist we will be featuring a song that Reid recorded before creating his Blowfly persona. Listen for "Part Time Lover," from his PG-rated album Dancin' With Nobody But You. #clarencereid #blowfly #stonedauntygeorge #soulmusic
