The Weird World of Blowfly

Clarence Reid is a musician who wrote and produced romantic and spiritual songs for some of the greatest Southern soul and Ru0026B acts of the 1960s and 70s. He is also the gonzo performer Blowfly, Clarences freaky alter ego and the original X-rated rapper. The Weird World of Blowfly explores both sides of this hilarious and controversial artist, providing a rare, inside peek at the infamous linguists daily life. Now 69-years-old, with a gold-spangled superhero costume and a catalog of the worlds raunchiest tunes, Blowfly tours the world, still struggling for success and recognition after 50 years of making music. The film highlights both Clarences and Blowflys unique contributions to music history, including Top-10 Ru0026B hits and what might be the worlds first rap song, recorded in 1965.
