The rhythm section of Raydio here - Ollie and Jerry - had success with this theme song while Ray Parker had a monster hit the same summer with Ghostbusters - produced by Ollie
as a kid of the 80s, i've rediscovered some of these incredible, feel good and amazing songs that no longer exist. man, did hip hop eventually go in a bad direction.
@IStevenSeagal I noticed that trend also. The 1990s fueled by genX artists jumped on the bandwagon where talent & song composition was secondary and not considered cool. By 1998-99 a resurgence was overdue and artists like Britney spears backstreet boys etc. dominated sales fueled more by producers looking to cash in than real talent.. it was up & down until 2008 when the music industry just went dark and real music and real songs got lost and I'm afraid dead&gone.
Wow such amazing memories, i was there , while this was been taped at soul train , , Ollie and Jerry are very nice and very humble , R I P Jerry , I was lil Coco the amazing 9 yrs old sensations , and Micheal Boogaloo Shrimp Chambers guardian , thank you guys for letting me go on this amazing ride with your careers , we have such beautiful memories .
They were under the radar in the 80s. Boy did they hit a home run with the BREAKIN movies. The songs they produced were instant classics. Props to OLLIE&JERRY ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
There's No Stopping them Ollie and Jerry and the 80s they had another hit of Breakin 2 Electric Boogaloo then folded interesting.They cover so much in this Song that's why the Capital of Breakdancing year 84 i think so.Hard to believe it's coming into it's 40s yikes gosh scary omg getting old really suxs flawless genius special time we have.Have this tune to be blessed and part of the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s atmosphere could harp on and explain vibes and feelings like no other time or place in history
they may be kings of the one hit wonders!! but i dont know if these guys knew at the time... but this one song set off a reaction that gave break dancing a home and was named break dancings national anthem!! when u hear this song in 2022.... it takes you right back to 1984 and the movie breakin. a time when times were good and mom and dad were still with us. i was 16yrs old when breakin came out at the movies. still living at home and all was great... well in 2022 im 54 and doin fine. but i still wish my mom was here. in 84 we had good times and good friends. but as we all know all good things must come to an end!!. and they did.
Totally agree...doing fine but missing my parents and those that have passed away. We thought we were invincible, couldn't wait to grow up. Wish we could go back whenever we want!
In 84 ... I was 9 years old. Family time was very important and having my 2 parents was amazing. Unfortunately, time went by, I got older (49 years old now) and lost my father in 2009. The 80's were the BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE. I feel a lot of nostalgia whenever I hear 80's songs because I wish I could go back 😫😫😫 If someone can build a machine to go back in time ... I would go back in the 80's in a heartbeat. Tell my father how proud I was to say he was my father and how much I love him 😭😭😭 I miss him so much 😭😭😭
This was our theme song! My dance group just started getting traction!! Man my teen years were awesome! I'm 60 still dance, but life sucks ass in comparison to the 80s!! Lil' Coco is an old man now!😂

This song will forever be etched in my memory breakdancing to it in 1985 @Ndera High in Hampshire House with my Form ones Ben Nyaumwe,Troy Warwick ,Beau Keen ,Christian Katiza etal.
HEY, "MARCO THE WIZARD" WAS A BREAKER" BREAK DANCER!! EVEN AT THAT TIME I WANTED TO IMMITATE HIM WHEN I WAS 8/9YRS.OLD IN 1984.🎶 POP- LOCKING/BREAKING DANCING WAS THA' THING. WHICH THEY ARE STILL DOING TODAY OVER THA' LAST +20YRS. OLLIE & JERRY HELP MAKE A GREAT "SOUNDTRACK" I STILL PLAY EVEN TODAY OFF/ON. GEN.X/BABY BOOMERS MAYBE MILLENIALS HAD THA' BETTER EXPERIENCE OF IT. LET'S GO BACK TO THA' EARLY/MID/LATE 1980'S FOR A MINUTE OR AWHILE. LATER,👍🏾✌🏾🖖🏾🤗😇🥰🤔🤫😬😄📺📻🎤🎼🎶 IRVIN RODNEY PARKER JR. WASH,DC/DMV
Ny used to call this beat breaks. We used to mix this with Nucleus Jam on it or Dominatrix sleeps tonight, 99 and 1/2 or Release Yourself Aleems. Love 84 .
Rotten piece of pop doo doo. No one would ever breakdance to this and the structure of the song is a mess. It’s just noise with enough of a hook to distract people. One of the worst things ever recorded and released. And guess what happened when they tried it again for breaking 2? They were exposed.
@@EphOph then go express it somewhere else. You don’t have to come here and trash it. Clearly what you’re saying is false. No one would breakdance to it yet it’s in the soundtrack of a movie centered around break dancing. Makes a lot of sense.
I can never get tired of this song such an awesome beat
The lyrics are too!
Correcto yo tampoco!!
In the history of all time movie theme songs,this one stands among the best of them. Hands down.
Pure talent
Underrated
Powerful
100% Positive
80's .... BEST MUSIC ERA ❤❤❤
Young people don't know old school like this
Spelt Old Skool
Breakin golden years that will not return, nostalgia invades the emotion of listening and dancing again 🙏🇲🇽😊🫵

Classic hip hop redifined,this song made hip hop what it's today,break dance
The first time I heard this song I thought their female singer in this group, but I didn’t realize it was jerry knight voice all long
This made New York come Alive
Indeed
After 40 years I see who sing this song that marked all my life
So good seeing them live on stage gets a good gauge they cover so many categories in Music
Happy Heavenly Birthday Mr Jerry Knight
Really the real dance

Muchas Gracias por compartirlo !
2024 ❤
For what ever reason i feel like the performance on American Bandstand was better. No disrespect to Soul Train cause im a fan their too
Electro is the shiznit
"THIS IS NOT MIAMI BASS MUSIC".. this was west coast breakin' music
R&B mixed with Hip-Hop, Electro and Freestyle...but Bass Music is within that Genre
Yes this is break
80's R&B Electro/Synth Funk. Definitely not Miami Bass.
Ny used to call this beat breaks. We used to mix this with Nucleus Jam on it or Dominatrix sleeps tonight, 99 and 1/2 or Release Yourself Aleems. Love 84 .
@@Kwaku211 freestyle wasn't really recognized til 1986-87
3:09
When was this song released?
1984 was a soundtrack from the movie breakin'
All these years I thought there was a female singing as well.
Ha, same. Just knew it was a female on the bridge section. Guess not!
Lo maxlmo
Ok
this is the radio edit. this is NOT live singing
Wish this was better quality and no dumb logo at the bottom

PERO NO SE PUEDE VER???? 🤦♀🤦♀
The movie was trash but this song was fire..
In all fairness, in actuality history did put a stop to this.
Rotten piece of pop doo doo. No one would ever breakdance to this and the structure of the song is a mess. It’s just noise with enough of a hook to distract people.
One of the worst things ever recorded and released. And guess what happened when they tried it again for breaking 2? They were exposed.
Why you come here just to hate? And how do you know no one can dance to this?
@@lxbronx6 im here to express my love for music that sounds better than this cacophony of noise
@@EphOph then go express it somewhere else. You don’t have to come here and trash it. Clearly what you’re saying is false. No one would breakdance to it yet it’s in the soundtrack of a movie centered around break dancing. Makes a lot of sense.
@@lxbronx6 No
Now run along
@@EphOph you the one that needs to run along. Hater.😂
