 Notes  
     Douglas Jocko Henderson ranks with Daddy O' Daylie and Hot Rod
     Hulbert as one of the original rhythm and blues radio disc jockeys.
     His smooth, swinging, rhymed talkovers were imitated by the jocks of
     the early rock and roll era, and became one of the major sources for
     the rap style. Though his influence on hip-hop was crucial, it took
     an indirect route as the model for the toasts of early Jamaican
     sound system deejays.
     Some say that Jocko's syndicated radio shows, beamed into the
     Caribbean from Miami provided the standard for Jamaican deejays.
     Another story claims that sound system promoter and record producer
     Coxsone Dodd encountered Jocko on one his record buying trips to the
     US, and encouraged his dee-jays to imitate Jocko's style. However
     his influence reached Jamaica, titles like "The Great Wuga Wuga" by
     Sir Lord Comic and "Ace from Space" by U. Roy were catch phrases
     directly appropriated from Jocko's bag of verbal tricks.
     When Kool DJ Herc adapted the Jamaican sound system to New York City
     party crowds, the stylized public address patter that accompanied
     his bass heavy program was rooted in Jocko's rhyming jive patter.
     Jocko started in radio in the Baltimore of 1950, moving to
     Philadelphia, where he attained enough momentum to arrange a daily
     commute to New York for a second shift. It was in New York that he
     hosted "Jocko's Rocket Ship", a black oriented television dance
     party show that was the forerunner of "Soul Train".
     He also made many appearances as an MC of rhythm and blues shows and
     hosted large scale record hops that anticipated ballroom disco
     shows. Jocko made few records, but we can thank the first wave of
     rap's popularity for an important recorded example what is arguably
     the original rap style. In 1979, in the wake of "Rapper's Delight",
     Philadelphia international released "Rhythm Talk", an instrumental
     track of McFadden and Whitehead's "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" over
     which Jocko ran through his amazing repertoire of oral formulas.
