LEARN’d: Candy J aka Sweet Pussy Pauline

B*tch Track & Vocal house pioneer Candy J aka Hateful Head Helen aka Sweet Pussy Pauline. 

Candy J’s 1988 record“ Desirable Revenge (The Saga of Sweet Pussy Pauline),” would be come a foundational “Bitch Track” a genre born out of Ballroom and queer club culture. It features a lengthy, 8 minute read about the woes of unsatisfied hookups “little-dick ass motherfuckers running around here who think they got a big dick”. 
Legendary DJ and produced Junior Vasquez remixed one of her monologues into “Work This Pussy” and launched Sweet Pussy Pauline to mainstream queer dance-club success.

In 2018, Teyana Taylor sampled the track on WTP reviving interest in the song’s history and Candy J’s legacy.
