Rapping by Angela Simpson
Back in 1972 kid-funk superstar Angela Simpson, then 6 years old, made an album simply entitled Angela. Issued by Spectrum Record the album featured proto-rap songs. Rapping is one of them.

Rapping

Rapping is a super groovy track: a poem over funky backing in James Brown style. Angela’s mother was a poet, and she instilled in her daughter a love of literature.
