Doctor Sausage and His Five Pork Chops/His Mad Lads were something of a fringe act, and today very little is known about them.
They recorded 2 singles for Decca Records in 1940, four more in 1950 for Regal (including a Top 10 R&B single with Rag Mop) and then were never heard from again. Considered a Novelty Act throughout their career, they provide an interesting if brief peek into the late 30's and 40's East Coast “hep culture” and “Race Records”.
1940:
- Wham [Re-bop-boom-bam] / Doctor Sausage Blues (Decca 7736)
- Birthday Party / Cuckoo Cuckoo Chicken Rhythm (Decca 7776)
1950:
- She Don’t Want Me No More / Please Don’t Leave Me Now (Regal 3248) --Wanted --
- Rag Mop / You Got Me Cryin’ (Regal 3251) – Peaked at #4 on the US R&B Charts / Feb. 1950
- Sausage Rock / I’ve Been A Bad Boy (Regal 3256) --Wanted (Side B) --
- Door Mat Blues / I’m A Poor Man (Regal 3283) --Wanted --
If you have access to any of the missing tracks, please let me know.
