Yeah, Cooley reminds me so much of a young Michael Jackson:great moves, and I love his breakdancing and flips in the air.- a gymnast and dancer in one body, very talented! Thanx for posting these new videos, they bring back a lot of gr8 memories!! (-:
I was just thinking about this dancer after watching Breakin but could not figure what his name was so went through several dancers from movie till his board stated him being on Solid Gold. Then I knew I found the right dancer
Solid Gold was THAT show that celebrated diversity. It was always cool watching Cooley pop and lock to the hits week after week. I think with Solid Gold incorporating this element into their lineup of talent, help showcase street dancing as an art form. I always admired how Cooley was able to adapt to the jazz style of dancing while maintaining his own signature style at the time. Thanks for sharing these memories. This was put together very well!
thanks for the post, cooley was so elastic, the real breakdance, and he did amazing couples with pam, kahea, darcel, most of the numbers he was with pam
I watched the show to see Darcel!!

Cooley had the most insane rhythm. There are some people who are born with it, and some who had to learn, and he was definitely one of the former.

While not one of my favorite dancers, he must've had something going on to be the 2nd longest tenured dancer on the show.
Thanks for the comment and the compliment!

Wow, that was fast. Although you said this was one you weren't certain you wanted to do, you pulled it off. Well done.
