“HERE COME DA JUDGE” * The Buena Vistas * MARQUEE (June, 1968)

YEAR 1968 (MCRFB)

A MCRFB Note: The phrase “here come the judge,” came off the heels of the TV popularity of the NBC prime-time comedy show, Rowan and Martin’s ‘Laugh-In.’ Pigmeat Markham first donned the catchy phrase during the NBC series’ second season in 1968. A local R&B group, the Buena Vistas, also got caught up the act. Charted on Detroit’s Top 40 CKLW and WKNR, the instrumental played the charts on Detroit’s R&B stations WCHB and WJLB, June, 1968.
