Timeline

1940

Franklyn Leon Smith (January 29, 1940 – March 8, 2019 ) was an American funk musician and R&B/soul songwriter.

1972

In 1972 he would record for Paramount, releasing a single called "Double Dutch" under the name Franklin Franklin, but it failed to become a hit.

He was also influential in the careers of the rappers Tone Loc, Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg.

1981

He was best known for his 1981 hit single "Double Dutch Bus".

Smith went to college in Tennessee for elementary education with a minor in music.

He became a writer for funk and soul artists such as the O'Jays and The Spinners.

With his 1981 single "Double Dutch Bus", released by WMOT Records, Smith popularized a nonsensical form of slang (from his song "Slang thang", 1981 WMOT, Records), in which "iz" is placed in the middle of a word (for example, the word "place" becomes "plizace"), or the last letters of a word are replaced with "-izzle" ("sure" becomes shizzle).

A type of infix, it found greater popularity later on in hip hop and rap with its usage by Snoop Dogg.

2019

Smith died in Philadelphia on March 8, 2019.
