That Funky Tramp!

Jimmy_lynch_1 Jimmy_lynch_3 Continuing in a loosely defined series that has included explorations in the "Adults Only" party record genre spanning from Fax Records to the Laff label and the incomparable Rudy Ray Moore, we present a man who was a close friend of Dolemite (and had a role as a James Brown-esque nightclub singer in The Human Tornado - watch that here) named Jimmy Lynch. Lynch had some of the best cover art of any on the eccentric Laff Records roster in the nineteen seventies. This LP was released prior to his being signed to Laff, recorded in the nineteen sixties, and Lynch claims it is the first piece of vinyl to feature the word fuck. That last point is definitely disputable, but the undeniable intrigue that is this comedy record is not. Listen now to Jimmy Lynch - That Funky Tramp!
