I remember some songs, BACK IN 1968, that were so “hot” you had to ask for them at the record store! This one I heard was very racist.
Johnny Rebel – Lookin’ For A Handout
Have you ever been just drivin’ around, and ended up in the colored part of town? And you see an old-time wanderoo Jack with a great big T.V. antenna. Then you look out in the back, you can always see a Cadillac......
I’ll stop right here but I do remember the flip side was KAJUN KKK. And NO! I WILL NOT PROVIDE A LINK!
Merle Haggard ‘s I’m A White Boy was banned from most stations.
Good old Johnny Rebel. I have that record as well as a 45 rpm recording of his 1958 song "I Like Ike," in which he rails against "mixed-up schools."
Apparently Johnny Rebel was a Louisiana Cajun. Interestingly, his label, Rebel, was owned by J. D. Miller, who produced several hits for black artists such as Slim Harpo that were released on the Excello label.
