Don 'Campbellock' Campbell, Fred 'Mr. Penguin' Berry a.k.a. Rerun, Toni Basil, Leo 'Fluky Luke' Williamson, Greg ' Campbellock Jr.' Pope, Bill 'Slim The Robot' Williams, Adolpho 'Shabba Doo' Quinones
I almost can't believe this! Sigmund the Sea Monster, Shabba Doo,and Toni Basil...three icons, for different reasons, in my life...together in the one brilliant moment!
The lockers should have done a broadway musical. They were more than talented enough and beyond entertaining. Plus, they could have made more money from their talent. I would have gone every week to see them.
They, to me, could have their own Unsung or Unsung Hollywood. Most people have no idea Toni Basil did anything outside of "Mickey" ... especially within the context of urban dance. They were fantastic.
They were on Sigmund and the Sea Monsters? I had no idea, how cool is that?! Look at Rerun. You go boy, R.I.P. You and your dance moves will never be forgotten.
Old post, but I don't think this was actually on "Sigmund and the Sea Monsters." It more likely seems to be one of those prime-time preview specials they used to do before the start of the new Saturday morning cartoon season.
I remember watching this . I tell you I owe my love of dancing to those guy's , I could speak a word of English , but I could dance . I dancehall day everyday and tried to dance just like them . I just had alot of soul , too much to contain me . So , I danced any chance I got .
for anyone that doesn’t understand the impact this group had, watch M.J. at the motown twenty-five ‘83 performance, & watch the lockers’ soul train clips from ‘76
Best dancing group of all time.........I am on the clock here in melrose park illinois USA watching this video.....R.I.P. Freddy rerun Berry.....The G.O.A.T.
The Lockers were truly Amazing!! Each member having their very own Unique Style and Toni being the only Female but definitely Holding Her Own🤣!! These are the Orginal Members and they Hip Hop Dance Culture what it is today!! Much Love To You All💚🤍🍀🤍💚
You were a year old during this episode How is that possible? If you are my big sisters age 51 sure maybe you could remember this. You must be a genius baby at the time to remember. I googled this and this show ran it says from 73 to 75 and you were born in 74 so you weren't watching this. lol I wasn't even born yet but found out about shabadoo from breaking movie as a young kid in the 80's I remember him from that.
@reggiemccoy3265-yes indeed my brotha! It's all the "evolution" of Social Dancing! Most of these youngsters are expounding on what's already been done as far as dance moves, styles and techniques are concerned.
I see Toni Basil, I see Fred Barry (Rerun) and Shabadoo (from Breakin 1 and 2). Yay Sigmund and the Sea monsters and Johnny Whitaker (Jody from A Family Affair)!
no Rerun did not get his moves from Toni and the Lockers because he was one of the original lockers and Toni Basil was not with them when the dance was made up - and Rerun is a much better Locker then Toni so he did not get his moves from her and she did not make the dance up she just joined the group.
@@noelephantitis ....here you go, this is a video with Tony Basil and Rerun "Penguin", Shabbadoo, and the creator of the PopLock , and another entertainer - Tony introduces them and she says Penguin who is Rerun, that he was Locking before her....ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A9D5ro0oThk.html.
Actually, Toni met Don Campbell at a nightclub and that was before The Lockers were a group so she's just as much a founding member of the group as the late Fred "Rerun" Berry aka "Penguin!! The rest of the group members Aldolpho "Shabadoo" Quinones(RIP), Lou "Flukey Luke" Williams II, Bill "Slim The Robot" Williams, Greg "Campbellock Jr" Pope(RIP) Don met them when they were all dancers on Soul Train where the late Don "Campbellock" Campbell danced with his dance partner, Soul Train alumni Damita Jo Freeman. I met Don Campbell and the rest of the Lockers through Lou "Flukey Luke" Williams son Lou Williams III who goes by the name of "Limbo" who I met back in the early 90's on the underground Hip Hop Club Circuit in Los Angeles! And while he hasn't followed in his father's footsteps as far as carrying on The Locking legacy, he's still successful as a Entertainment industry wardrobe stylist and a accomplished dancer who's a "True Freestyle Dancer" as am I, even though we both also know how to Lock as well we've both evolved beyond being just Hip Hop Freestyle Dancers!
bring it back to the little kids, need this now more then ever, put away video games, tablets, and PHONES. this is what this generation is missing , we talk about we wish I lived during that period, bring it back.
@SuggahBear- The remaining Lockers still alive are Toni Basil, Lou "Flukey Luke" Williams II, Bill "Slim The Robot" Williams, and Suga Pop who joined the group after Fred "Rerun" Berry left the group to pursue acting and Toni Basil had left to also pursue acting as well as singing.
@swezin8450- both of those moves were being performed well before any of The Lockers were even alive!! Look no further than some of the old Black and white movies and you'll see those moves and a lot more moves that wound up being replicated in Old school B-boying/breaking and Hip hop Freestyle dancing.
Amazing how tiny their waists were in those days, not all that fast food catching up to them like is everywhere today. Also too bad to be on TV back then the group had to do certain things to remain in the public eye, like changi their style of dress, it started out playfully tuff and street, then TV wanted to water it down. It lost some of its funky flavor to stay on TV.
As a white kid in 60s teen in 70s I thought they were just part of the show not a dance group but the black inner city kids would copy this and the giant boom box. But now u tell us what it was all about.
