Seeing my old friend Dorian Jefferson(R.I.P) and little Ralph brought back hell of memories. thanx for posting a part of Northern Cali history playa.

Wow. I am an original member of Shields Inc. I was talking about the way we used to dance to my daughter and put in a search for Close Encounters of the Funkiest kind and started coming across these clips. Then I glanced over and saw our Yellow and Red uniforms. I told my daughter "that's us!!!" Man, thanks for the memory. I didn't know that video was out. There are only two of us left. Tremendous. Thanks again.

Yo jrock! when have you ever seen me do electric boogaloo? you have never ever seen me do electric boogaloo at all whatsoever... I am a Strutter for Life, been dancing since 1972 that Is what I do...and trust me that Is what I claim.

So why are you dropping my name into shit that you know you've never seen me try to do?

Not even worth arguing about this because no matter what you say they will just twist it in a way that benefits them monetarily.

I personally think that Sam filmed the Oakland Talents shows that took place at the Oakland Auditorium in 74,75,76. Because a lot of the moves they were doing in the late 70s and 80s were a direct rip off from all the different styles that people were doing in Oakland in the mid 70s.

You old fogies need stop inter-web bangin.. Who gives a shit who created when and where?

You should know by now that white people created all this??? lol...

It's funny how Janet Jackson made that "snake" move(we called it squirming) popular when you clearly see the Gentlemen Of Production do that move at 3:49 - 3:50.

"Boogaloo or bugalú (also, shing-a-ling, Latin boogaloo, Latin R&B) is a genre of Latin music and dance that was popular in the United States in the 1960s. Boogaloo originated in New York City among teenage Cubans, Puerto Ricans and other groups. The style was a fusion of popular African American R&B and soul with mambo and son montuno. It included the use of English lyrics as well as Spanish. Boogaloo entered the mainstream through the American Bandstand television program." LIES???
