Thong Song (1954)

Calvin "Silky C" Douglas was a prominent African American singer in the 1950s, renowned for his sensational hit record "Thong Song." With his smooth vocal delivery and charismatic stage presence, Silky C carved out a niche in the music world that celebrated playful and cheeky themes, making him a standout artist of his era. "Thong Song" became an instant hit, celebrated for its lively rhythm and humorous lyrics that played with the double entendre of the word "thong," which at the time was more commonly associated with footwear rather than today’s more risqué connotation. The song's catchy hook and Calvin’s charismatic delivery made it a jukebox favorite and a dance hall staple, propelling him to national fame.

I love the backdrop on these legends. I remember my Dad playing this song growing up on the record player but I never knew who sang this. RIP Dad

Play at 0.75 and it truly sounds like a 50s song.

I was gonna say it sounded more like 1964, but then the horns kicked in. Lol

When I was a young man I was a busboy at the resort in the Catskills NY. All the rich white ladies would shake their butts to this song and tip me extra.

Agreed... it gives it a 1940's swing feel to it
