[docktav13]

These guys still dance better than the new dancers. The new dancers are just doing moves with no rhythm to the music. This is the way it should be done.

[tappitawade]

The Lockers: back in the day on Soul Train. Here you see the roots of hip-hop dancing...moonwalking, robot....with dancer Fred Berry (Rerun) Toni Basil (Hey Mickey!), Ray "Shabb-doo" from Breakin'. The pioneers of hip-hop/breakdance.

[astron33]

[MrMaxismybaby]

[LBJTV]

I remember seeing this but i never knew the name of the song playing in the background, any help guys?

[MsValencia77]

I didn't come alone until 77 so I miss all things that happen on soul train

[nateplaya88]

This goes hard, and I'm an 80's baby!

[phoneke]

I love locking.Even then, it was just as much a throwback thing as it was foward. Throwback to jazz and the future in funk. Jazz thorugh each person being allowed to improvise over the beat.It was a foward dance that was Funky, futuristic . Especially when Sam the robot was able end it with a glimpse of things to come.

[MattLB19]

No Roger, No Rerun, No rent!!!!!

[teionna]

TONI BASIL Z JAMMIN!!!! ND RERUN PUT IT DOWN!!! LOVE'S IT!!

Market.

[IanHunedoara8]

The Lockers were featured in the 1973 Roberta Flack special where they were doing their thing while Roberta was singing Killing Me Softly

[88DShadow]

The original Lockers. To think that this dance was invented because (what's his first name?) Campbell forgot how to do the funky chicken. Once I've learned enough locking, it'll be an awesome way to mix up my popping. Then you'll see actual pop AND lock dancing!

[striderhein]

@88DShadow

Popping while locking looks stupid. One of the main reasons why you won't find a video of people doing it.

***There is a difference between popping AND lock vs. popping THEN locking

[DONNIMETROPOLIS313]

@88DShadow Don Cambellock

[SteezeDGAF]

@88DShadow

Donald "Campellock" Campbell
