Gene Chandler - Duke Of Earl (c. 1962)
Michael from The Flash Dance collective mashed up Chandler’s Duke Of Earl over the break from Eric B & Rakim’s Paid in Full at the Airplanes & Blazers party I attended. One of my favorite 60’s tunes mixed with one of my favorite rap songs. Genius. I loved it so much I wrote to ask if a recorded version existed. Sadly for me, one does not. But, he was kind enough to write back and tell me that he usually mixes Duke Of Earl with Cypress Hill’s - Hand On The Pump and DJ Shadow’s - The Number Song (Cut Chemist Mix) which there is a video of here - http://www.theflashdance.com/index.cfm?postID=192 (scroll to the bottom of the post; also embedded below). Rad!
