Joe Bataan

Joe Bataan was supposed to produce and record artists Jeckyll and Hyde doing “Rap-O Clap-O,” but “they never showed up to the session,” Bataan says in Issue 19, “left me there with the studio bill and the musicians. So I said, ‘Well, gee, what is so hard about this? Let me do it.’ And I did. In two weeks, the record went around the world like a bullet. It was ahead of its time.”
