Pigmeat Markham - Here Comes The Judge [45]

$4.50

VG.

Born in Durham, NC in 1907 and still a figure in pop culture even when I was a kid, Pigmeat Markham — who, according to the book Showtime at the Apollo, “probably played the Apollo more than any other performer” — had a big hit with this record in 1968. Wikipedia claims that it “is often considered to be the first hip-hop record,” which is ridiculous, but it’s cool and culturally relevant nevertheless.
