Johnny Wakelin and the Kinshasa Band had a big hit with this timely jam, "Black Superman", which came out right after Ali pounded George Foreman in the blazing Zaire heat in the summer of 1974. I particularly like his rhyme scheme, which in songwriting parlance is known as "nonexistent".
He then milked this idea again with his hit "In Zaire", which did much better than his other single....wait for it....click here.
