Sampling other people’s records is big in rap music. Dickie Goodman may have originated that technique in the 50’s, acting as a “reporter” and splicing in “responses” from hits of the day. Dickie was a big influence on Weird Al Yankovic and on song parodies from Howard Stern’s radio show. Goodman was definitely underrated. He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 1989.
