During the 1960s and 1970s he wrote for and produced artists including Betty Wright, Sam & Dave, Gwen McCrae, Jimmy "Bo" Horne, Bobby Byrd, and KC & the Sunshine Band.
During this period he was also a recording artist, cutting many of his own songs, including "Nobody But You Babe" and his first XXX record, "Oddballs" which was reworked into "Rapp Dirty" several years later.
Reid wrote sexually explicit versions of hit songs for fun but only performed them for his friends at parties or in the studio. In 1971, he along with a band of studio musicians, recorded a whole album of these songs under the name Blowfly.
Blowfly's Party is the 1980 album by Clarence Reid as his alter ego Blowfly. It was released on the Weird World Records label, a subsidiary of T.K. Records. This album featured a reworked version of the classic "Rap Dirty" and also managed to chart in the US pop albums chart at No. 82 and on the Black Albums chart at No. 26.
The album was originally released under the name Blowfly's Disco Party but was reissued under the alternate title to avoid confusion with the 1977 album Disco.
