rest in peace j. castor. still think about the card board boxes we used to break dance to and get paid on 42nd st.---------N.Y. b boys will always think of you as a legend. Still play your cuts.
best funk bboy track ever, together with James Brown - sex machine, the jackson sisters - i believe in miracles, black byrds - rock creek park and curtis mayfield - move on up. LEGENDS
This choon was the shit. I remember the old days in TC5 and IBM hitting the lines and chillin at the 125 writers bench in NYC. Im 40 next year, living in London and kinda miss those days, but listening to these choons brings back loads of memories.
@drstrange629 Uptown Manhattan( Accross 110th st). First stop 111st off 7th ave, The Coma Crew (aka Bellvue Boys), Angel Dust.
Then you had a zillion spots up and down Lenox ave. Of course 123rd and 7th ave had every brand you could think off, from Busy Bee, Reverand Ike, Seal "A" Meal. Oman2, Star ways. Red Devil (133rd mad.) Crazy Eddie 116th between Park ave and 5th)
Being you are only 40, you more than likely were not doing this or you saw people getting Zooted Uptown. But, Uptown is no longer Uptown. Back in the days I was one of the few whites that could walk down those streets. Now, it is turning into a white area-again:( After like 70 years.
@drstrange629 I grew up on west 100st, between Columbus and Amsterdam. Still here. But, it's not the same. Perhaps for the better. But, I liked it when it was rough and run down. Only the strong survived.
Great songs and I can agree with your point. Looking for the Perfect Beat is a great "POPPING" song and Organ Donor is another song I, personally would consider also. The reason I state that this is the Breakdancers best song EVER, is because this song was recorded before Breakin' jumped off. Just imagine, listening to the radio and this song comes on. MY first response was to dance wildly! Then when Breakdancing became popular, EVERYBODY was up-rockin' to this!
Organ Donor is definitely a contender but It's Just Begun is an all-time classic. Afrika Bambaataa & The Soul Sonic Force - The Godfathers of Hip Hop. Have to mention Planet Platrol and Man Parrish as some of the best in elektro music.
RIP Jimmy Castor

When this came out in 1972 it must have been like a mushroom cloud compared to what else was about.
Plus it has one of the best outro's of all times... leaves you panting!

Are you kidding? There was sooooo much Boogaloo out then... not to mention all the straight Funk from that time period.
