SolidGoldHits - Locking by Captain Crunch and the FunkyBunch

[OGSINBAD22]

FYI... "Greg Dandrige" aka "Captain Crunch" from the 70s is not in this video. Greg's group was initially known as "Captain Crunch & The Funky Bunch" for a brief time in 1973 (very brief time). The eventual name of Greg's Group was the "Ghetto Dancers. The members were Captain Crunch (Greg Dandridge), Cisco Kid (RIP - Morris Bailey), F&M (Eugene Henderson), Flee Lock (Kenny Henderson & younger brother of Eugene), and me, Sinbad (Steve Crane). FYI...

[crunk617]

They were real big on ST back in the day

[djkaneck1]

They're good but not better than the originals: Don Cambellock Cambell, Poppin Pete, Fred Berry, and the master Buggaloo Sam.

[freestylepurple]

body talk:by the Deele ( which by the way Baby Face first group he sung in b4 he went solo) You can Youtube the The Deele By the Way. Other songs that mimic this style is Lenny White: peanut Butter, Cameo, ConFunkShun,Brick, Atlantic Star,

[jiling1314520]

thank you ! the old school music seems can make me full of energy ```but it's hard to search

[purpulhaze]

It's Funk music which most poppers and lockers dance to. Funk inspired those dance styles. That's why these dance styles are also referred to as funk styles.

[drummerboyray]

The name of the song is "Body Talk". It's 1 of The Deele's 1st debut jams. Produced by L.A. Reid & Babyface (original members of The Deele).

[funkazoid2511]

@drummerboyray ...it´s right that L.A. Reid and Babyface was part of the "The Deele" but Regie Calloway from Midnight tar produced Body Talk... and the LP called Street Beat

[dreamcreator1]

This is O.G. Elastic Man from the group the Bionic Boogaloo's from back in 78/79 era, I know steve, charles and gary, very humble and down to earth dancers, my group danced in a contest with them a couple times at compton high school along with roy and smiley also The Knee Deep Dancers, We had the white faces doing the oakland form of what we called Bopping but the original oakland form is the Boogaloo, Strut, Fillmore and Hittin or Stopping on the dime and many other names, we were friends...

[poplock1963]

[AlbinFromFrance]
