Does anyone remember "The Billy Cotton Band Show" in the late forties? He had a thing going for quite a while which in my opinion was Rap. Just chanted to a heavy 'Jungle' rhythm. It was about the 'jungle telegraph' in Africa, and likening it to the English newspapers. Went something like this (but he had a new one every week).... Down in the jungle Read it in the press Have you heard the latest - Oh YES. Down in the jungle Read it every day You can hear the natives ALL SAY Down in the jungle living in a tent Better that a prefab NO RENT. The only thing different from rap is that you could understand all the words. Bert.
