Original Locker

[vidform]

What is the name of the song (and artist) they are dancing to? Also, what do you call the shoes they are wearing? Was it a particular brand name? Did the shoes go by a slang name on the streets? They don't really look like platforms because they look low but have a thick heel. What was the overall name for the way they were dressed? They look a little bit like early 1900s Vaudeville performers. I wonder where they were performing. Looks like a college campus. These guys are spectacular.

[herbalpudding]

@vidform The song is called "Coke" by Tribe. It was an underground hit that came out in 1973 and was a staple of New York parties at The Loft and Paradise Garage. The record label had issues with the name so alternate pressings were out with the title as "Koke" and "Smoke."

[tiana1017]

ah fred re run berry was at the end of the video , rip

[GreenMasianer]

The difference is, the Campbell locking is the origenial lock style and and that is the begin of locking. At the Locking today, there are more dance moves and there are more different stlyles than @ the time of the campbell locks

[hbbvivo]

what is the difference between locking and campbellocking?

[MrLokiLock]

@hbbvivo According to Don Cambellock there is no difference.

[oldschoolbx1970]

This later became part of the NYC street culture after when it came from LA. Thank you Lockers for bringing it to my hometown.

[TheWillgyn]

????songs...?????

[lovelydiva06]

isn't that shabba boo and ana lollipop sanchez, looks like them, them along with rerun were apart of the original lockers from the 70's weren't they?

[oldschoolbx1970]

@lovelydiva06 The only one from the 1984 movie Breakin' is Adolfo Shabba Doo Quinones. The girl happens to be Toni Bassil who had a 1982 one hit wonder Mickey,not Ana Lollipop Sanchez.

[lovelydiva06]

@oldschoolbx1970 i meant shabba doo not boo, lol and yes thats where i know shabba "ozone" doo from breakin and toni bassil, don't know her will have to look her up and see what she's about but ana is one of the best female break dancing lockers from the late 70's and 80's

[oldschoolbx1970]

@lovelydiva06 Lollipop is still doing her thing out there. As for Toni Bassil,you gotta find out what she's been up to lately since she left The Lockers besides her one and only song Mickey.

[reesaable]

this is what MJ used to do....

[videoattic]

I want there clothes

[rudegyalbombah]

These guys are still my favorite lockers

[abbeykroeter]

Does anyone have a clip of the lockers on the Phil Donahue show? It was great because a decent chicago group of breakers were on there like it was this new thing, then they brought out the lockers and it was obvious some funky moves had been around a long long time. Oh yeah, someone mentioned "Ozone" from "breakin", he was good, and again, got attention many before him should have gotten...

[johnnyjayramone]

shit i remember watching that live! ive been looking for that footage forever!

[abbeykroeter]

@johnnyjayramone Please let me know if you find it huh? Youtube is great but still a lot out there I can't find. Going to look on Hulu or something with old tv next...

[abbeykroeter]

Thank you thank you thank you for adding this video. I've been trying to tell younger friends about the lockers i saw on TV when I was a kid, and they just don't understand. They see to think all todays crews invented everything and I am trying to tell them how so much technique is evolving for a long time. This makes you think about how inventive people were during other past years. From the heart

[mannmoore]

How can you not call this H|P HOP?? WE were doing this when the were breaking in NY. I am an old school la hip hop head, we were not rapping, but we were hip hop

[Deetroiter]

now THIS is locking!! I definately prefer old school funky locking to the new style "precision and speed" stuff. Damn they were gettin down!

[hateyall2]

old school always betta

[asdfxyz1]

why dont you dress old school then?

[phoneke]

The most respect to Don Campbell and his funky vision. But I just love the way Shabadoo and Leo Flukey Luke interpreted his vision. For me, it has more of the essence of what I think funk dancing(locking) should be.

[Gintoxiccc]

wow........

[SprayNetiKz]

RIP Fred Barry..

[madforgorky]

All artists, I only know Toni Basil, I wish I knew the rest. So good to see this again.

[SFFOOL76]

[debitsncredits]

this is what locking is all about,,,,,,;;70's style when it took people by storm

[greatblackfrog]

dam i like new skool and old skool locking. new skool is less funk and more faster.

[PoppinDingy]

this is what real locking is this is what comes to my head when someone says they can lock I wanna see this not some b.s watered down attempt

[JAQQHC3]

A tree grown from a seed.

Novice lockers have to practice to become good.

[FunkyVinylJunkie]

Damn did you see how young they looked?  Rerun and shabadoo still had baby faces. Thanks, I've never seen this clip. Do you know where it was taken? Looks like a college.

[Ceforeous]

Lol its also quite possible they just like the way it looks, as well as it being part of the culture.

[HardkorSB]

I don't understand 1 thing:

Why do lockers nowdays try to dress exactly like these here?

Not everyone has to look like a cartoon version of a person from the 30's to be a locker.

[deathspenalty]

why do all rappers dress the same why do all hiphoppers dress the same, why do al metallheads dress the same... cuz its a part of that culture

[GLC1425]

thats true... by the way i think thats shabba doo on 1:36 wow he was an original locker with don cambellock << creator

[GLC1425]
