"The Oogum Boogum Song" #34 6/24/1967

Alfred Jesse Smith literally came straight outta Compton and had a few hits in the 60's. He took the stage name Brenton Wood, a play on the high-end Brentwood section of L.A., home of UCLA and former home of O.J. Simpson. "Oogum boogum" is similar to "abracadabra," very apt as the song dealt with casting a spell on someone.
