    Franklyn Leon "Frankie" Smith is an American funk musician and R&B/soul songwriter. He is best known for his 1981 single "Double Dutch Bus". With his 1981 single "Double Dutch Bus", Smith popularized a nonsensical form of slang, in which "iz" is placed in the middle of a word or the last letters of a word are replaced with "-izzle". The style today holds a place in popular slang.

    On this day in 1981 {August 29th} Frankie Smith performed "Double Dutch Bus" on the ABC-TV Saturday afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'...
    At the time "Double Dutch Bus" was at position #47 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, two weeks earlier it had peaked at #30 {for 1 week} and it spent nineteen weeks on the Top 100...
    "Double Dutch Bus" was his only Top 100 record...
    Franklyn Leon Smith passed away at the age of 66 on March 8th, 2019...
    May he R.I.P.

    This song takes me back to my childhood in the 1980s. Skating, double dutching with my twin sister and her friends, and playing on the playground at 107th Street School in South L.A. Thanks Joe Todd (an ancestor) for wonderful music (like this one) that shaped my childhood👍🏾.

    • @quantumpotential7639
      @quantumpotential7639 3 роки тому +1

      Your childhood was shaped by a tune of the highest regard and in some unquantifiable capacity look at what it helped produce; The Iron Physique and a leader of men who are now being called upon in this tribulation to rise up! and double dutch bus it over to the cusp of the vortex eqüilibrium event horizon.

    Takes me back to them early 80's. I remember when this first came out.. This was a hit.. A jam still today for us "Grown Folks" these kids don't and won't understand it... But mine do.... Why...? Because I keep old and new school playing daily round the clock........ But what's sad.. Really said... This man made this song and it was a hit. Even made Billboard charts, R&B and more yet... he wasn't paid a single damn dime.. SMDH. He was 1 artist who made a great song and got screwed royally.. Check out that "UnSung" with Frankie Smith. It tells the whole story.. smdh. But to this day.. This a jam.. and I still bump on my cassette in my ride.. Yes.. I have cd, blutooth and all that.. But that front AUX... I plug in my cassette player.. that's right.. O.G. til I die! I'll holla! But this song jams from start to finish!
