Don Campbellock and the Lockers is one of the founder's of Hip Hop and dance in my opinion. From Europe too Asia their influence has spread. Arcourse?! The legend's never get respect? Especially in this new mellenial age. Those who grew up in the mid 80's and 90's like myself can actually say they are legendary.
A perspective that can only come from having been there. How CAN they know, if they don't know? I crack up, sometimes, when I see what they call "great" nowadays, because, thank GOD, I've lived long enough to have a real perspective.
In and around LA cambellock flukey Luke and shabbadoo myself and others used to hit dance contests almost every night. It was not for money but just dance I am proud to have seen history in the making. I hope that someday they will be compensated the way they should be. 🎵❤️
toni and the little fat guy known as penguin was one of the first and not just that can you believe toni was actua lly the one who had the hit single in 82, 9 fweekin years later with *mickey* . this december shes gonna be 80 years oh maan
Rest in peace, Adolfo "Shabba-Doo" Quiñones. His sister Fawn was DOPE, too! May Don "Campbellock" Campbell and The Lockers be inducted into the Hall of Fame! Tony Basil is still no joke to this day! 🌹
I have met him once, back in 1986-87. I didn't know he passed away. Thanks for everything my hero! Rest in Peace, my man Adolfo Gutierrez Quiñones a.k.a. Shabadoo - Love you man.
I was a little guy but I remember them well. Toni Basil is 76 going on 77 now 😳 I bugged out when I saw her dancing on shows from wayyyy back in 1964,I didn't know she was that old until several years ago.
I love seeing them dance in the Wattstax footage during Rufus Thomas's The Breakdown performance. You can see the birth of the dance forming. So much style just amazing.
@@TerrySwoopeVideos, just wanted to let you know that I have a new phone and subscribed to your channel again. Hope you are doing well and that you are enjoying your life, Terry. God bless you, in Christ Jesus' mighty name. Amen ! " 👈✌️🤗👍👍💙
Your contribution to the history of this dance group is very much appreciated. It is so important we document and teach about what influences the 70's had and how it evolved into an art form in the 80's. Every 10 years something magical happens in the world of dance and music. How lucky we are that we were there to see it all unfold.
Fantastic video 📹 footage. Think they should be in the hall of fame. For the members that passed away 🕊Rest in Heaven🕊 To them. I hope they put them in the hall of fame. It would be fantastic. The Next level Dj.m.smooth
I actually had a chance to see the Lockers at Radio City Music Hall. They were the opening act for a Funkedelic, Ohio Player & Graham Central Station concert. I'll never forget it.
These folks were my inspiration and introduction to dancing and entertainment... I had a locking group as a youngster and we killed in the talent shows back in the 70's. I can still lock too.. R Peaceful Rest Don and Shabba Doo! You fellas gave the world something wonderful and memorable. Legends
Terry.......another dope one here! I can still see Don bopping up and down, pausing, posing. Lord! Old enough to remember him dancing on Soul Train. My young eyes used to rome all 13 inches of my black and white tv until I saw him. Thank you for sharing in that I had no idea he passed. Rest in power Brother Don!!!
WOW, growing up in California I was a young pop locker, I remember watching Sabado, on a show called the big show . with I believe Ed Mcman, I think later on this show become Star search. not aware that pop-locking was just locking at first. thanks for the trip back to a time when life was much more beautiful. love your videos , I'm still here 55
Thank you for putting this tribute together❤️! The lockers are the GOATS of Hip Hop dance! Definitely unsung and belong in the Hall of Fame! RIP Don Campbellock, Fred “Penguin ReRun” Berry, Greg Campbellock Jr, and most recently Adolfo “Shabba Doo” Quinoñes! Toni Basil is the truth! A true dancer in every way and a beautiful soul! Again, Rest in Power Lockers! I know y’all are tearing that dance floor up in Heaven!
Wow shabadoo from Soul Train , gliding across the stage , I remember him I think everyone had a crush on him he was a smooth operator 😀back in the day , we are the same age 65 years young at heart, , keep on dancing my brother ,
Shabba Doo passed away as well sadly.....I'm 47 and I remember watching this group's dance performances as a child. Influenced many of my own moves in my dancing years. I hope now that they do get the recognition they deserve.
Terry Swoope, please do a video on Toni Basil!!.. That woman is still dancing her butt off!!.. She is awesome even at the age of 75!.. Just saw her dancing with a young guy. He could barely keep up with her. .. Wow! . Thank you for this amazing video also. Happy New Year!! .. God Bless You Always, CC
Toni Basil danced in 1964's (the year the Beatles first came to America) Robin and the 7 Hoods: Frank, Sammy, Dean--"The Rat Pack's best film and there she was in 2018 or '19 at 74 still getting down with a young brother probably much less than half her age. If there's a Hall of Fame for dancers, at least two of these folks should be in it!
@@michaeldunson2531 sir her death was what you call a celebrity hoax I done my research very well it looks like you're the one who needs to do some research, now carry on 😮
They were also featured in the RightON! Magazine Shabba Doo went on to films Breakin movies etc. He is in his60's he still looks good Shabba Doo still got it. Don Campbell has passed
Terry Swoope, The Lockers were awesome. That's how I learned how to dance. Them and James Brown were my teachers. I could do anything they could do. Won all the dance contests I entered!!. STill dancing by the way. .. Thank you for all these seriously amazing videos. YOU ROCK ON ALL LEVELS TERRY! .. God Bless You Always, CC
I remember them from WAAAY back when I was a boy & Rerun on What's Happening! It's great to get an update on the lives & careers of these entertainers that I watched & enjoyed as a youth 7 to find most of them healthy & relatively sound. Didn't know Shabba Doo & Toni Basil were original Lockers, thanks for the info, bless you!
I currently work with Fluky Luke, and im truly in awe of him. He's got the best stories. I could listen to him all day. He's the most interesting person I've ever met.
My heroes since 73 seeing Carol Burnette show where Don has Red n yellow on that's when Charles "Robot" Washington was with them!!!!! Toni was a known choreographer since the 60s "Im Campbellockin!!!!!" Amazing!!!! R.I.P Don, Fred,Greg,Shabba-Doo Im still Lockin long as the Funk lives i do "Lock it up one time!"
Fred Berry AKA Re-run was a dancer! I enjoyed the show he was in: What's Happening from the mid-76-79. I agree, dancing keeps you young! I danced all the way up to my 60s until I broke my ankle in an accident, but I still do a little dancing! Thanks for doing this clip on the dancers of Soul Train.
Love soul train mobile dj for 20 yrs and todays digi info packages reveal the history of the music - used to play mickey in the school discos never knew she was a mover thanks xx
Breakdancing, popping and locking, liquid style were my life in the late 90s. Hell I still enjoy dancing in that style, I am just older now so I don't do a lot of the more acrobatic moves anymore. The lockers were amazing.
Good video Swoop! Love the truth and history! I started trying to lock in the early 70's and still bust a move daily! Rerun and Shabadoo were definitely two of my childhood heros! RIP to all of these fallen heros!
I always watched Soul Train not for the entertainers but for the dancing, and the Soul Train Line which spotlighted Locking. I embraced the dance. Back then my boys called me Soul Train Zach
And 70 years old and I can remember the first time I saw the lockets I’m looking at TV and I see these folks come out and I said what the hell and I couldn’t help they had a little short heavyset guy in my opinion dance his ass off and I saidIf this guy can dance like that I need to brush back up all my my dance moves I must say in my opinion one of the greatest dances I seen Rest in peace my good brother you are definitely in the dancing Hall of Fame
In high school, me and my friends tried all those moves by The Lockers. We had some success then in 1993...but at 41, I wouldn't dare try those knee and bottom drops.
I remember watching them on a y Saturday Night Live skit when I was little and I thought that they were amazing and they inspired me to come out of being a shy wallflower. I sat down many break dancers in Jr high school...
Wow these dancers look amazing for their age. Dancing keeps you looking young. Shabadoo is my favourite. He’s so handsome and good looking. I couldn’t even believe he’s up to 65
Agree w/u on T. Basil. 💯. There was a locking dance called "THE CAMELOT". the silver dollar. I once heard some young dancer (in Culver city, ca, circa 2009), the one male, was telling the girls "its NOT pop locking, its popping AND locking-TWO DIFFERENT DANCES". the girls: " yeah, yeah your right...." I spun around and SCHOOLED them. I was shocked, dismayed, saddened- they had their info and dance bass ackward. Sad. Some STILL say "poppin AND locking". Corn balls. But sad b/c THESE trailblazers need their flowers, as they say. I do my lil part to inform-but who am I? Thx. to you for your work and vids. And im sure u know shabadoo passed. My bro knew shabado before he passed, my bro had me rollin, about how high energy he was and A PROUD PR.. ❤❤
Those were my dance heroes in the mid 70s. I was born in 67 so when i first saw this style of dancing in 73-77 i couldn't WAIT to see Soul Train every Saturday at 11:45 to see Locking on the Soul Train line. Memories..when nobodys around and Planet Rock is on i get my Lockin on. 😆 peace yall.
Awesome group, self-made professionals who never really got their due on an international level. 'The Lockers' defined the epitome of 70s dance moves. Their influence was in literally everything that was cool in 70s pop culture. Disco, Mickey J. and 70s Saturday Morning and Afternoon TV owe a lot to this great and very talented group. Right up there with the Harlem Globetrotters, in my opinion.
WOW!! The things you learn everyday! I had NO IDEA that Toni Basil was an original Locker!! I found out that Shabadoo was a Locker after his passing. I loved Breaking and Mickey!! Re Run was my homeboy from St. Louis!!
WOW! Just happened to stumble on this. This was great! So much I didn't know about them. I knew Fred Berry was part of the Lockers but didn't know ShabaDoo & Toni Basil were too! Thank you.😊
THE LOCKERS MUST BE APART OF BLACK HIPHOP HISTORY!!MONTH LOCKING CAME IN AN ERA WHEN IT TOOK THE PLACE OF FIGHTING AND PUT INTO THE FORM OF DANCE BATTLES IN SCHOOLS, GANGS, GROUP HOMES, AND ON THE STREETS, AND SPORTS FIELDS EVENTUALLY!!

I am just heartbroken 💔😞. RIP Adolfo Shabba-Doo Quinones
Oh shit..u just broke the news to ME.
He was the reason I love dancing, they called him Shabadoo because he could actually repeat and dance move he saw, flawlessly
I am blown away by Toni Basil! She is super talented!
She still Dancing

I agree 100% thanks for commenting.
Breakin....just breakin
This is locking. Coming from L.A.... Breaking was being created on the other side of the country in NY. Kool Herc had dancers.
It would also millions more in DA PRISON system if not 4 dancing!!!!!
Dancing is life. Fun, free, creative and energizing. Peace to you all. ShabbaDoo, you will be in our hearts
I have met him once, back in 1986-87. I didn't know he passed away. Thanks for everything my hero!

RIP Shabba doo!!! Yo I cannot believe it. Him and Basil looked the healthiest and the best.
Why? Because they were the most fair skinned?
He had a blockage in an artery and didn't know it
No , because they took the the best care of themselves.
