Philadelphia's Frankie Smith is known for his contributions to funk, soulful R&B and rap. He has performed alongside Rick James, Smokey Robinson, Kool and the Gang and other musical entertainers and has appeared in a few movies, most notably "Beloved" and "Snake Eyes." But his big moment in celebrity's sun was his 1981 hit single Double Dutch Bus, which inserts "iz" or "izzle" into other words, somehow enhancing the charm of this party/dance song. The record sold around 4 million copies, and the song appeared later in the Disney movie College Road Trip.
