I fell in love with Shabba Doo when he played the character Ozone. He was so fine. He danced his way into my heart. I couldn't believe it when I heard he passed away. R.I.P. Ozone

[@chrisgeorgallis7746]

Me too

[@lisaellis2593]

Same! It hurt my heart, to know that he passed away.

[@darinharris2081]

He was quite handsome... So I know he had a large female fanbase...

[@pauldack5129]

Damn he looked young as hell to the end

[@judymcgaugh6480]

As of today there are only 3 Original members of the Lockers left. Out of 7 we have lost 4.. only Toni Basil, Slim the Robot Bill Williams, and Flukey Luke Leo Williamson remain.. Rerun Fred Berry, Don Campbellock Campbell, Greg Campbellock Jr. Pope, and now the youngest of the Lockers Shabba Doo Aldofo Quinones.. Just the day before he passed, Shabba Doo sent out a video from his sick bed, telling us not to worry, he had been fighting the flu and was feeling much better . He said he had taken the Corona test and it came back negative which he celebrated, and said he had so much left to get done.. Hours later it was said his roommate came home and found him unconscious. No foul play was was said to have happened. No other remarks were made at this time..I am seeing all my Icons and Heros, my Idols of Dance and other Ventures being taken away and I am so sad beyond a breaking heart.. I used to not understand new Technology and did not agree with all the internet and too much info out in the public eye. But now I am THANKFUL THAT THERE ARE ALL THESE VIDEOS AND SUCH OUT THERE. I have been watching Shabba Doo's videos for hours, and now find it a blessing that they are available.. I will truly miss this man.. and will keep Prayers and Blessings around his Family and Friends.. RIP SHABBA DOO MASTER DANCER, GODFATHER OF LOCKING ...

[@antoniowhitner7594]

& Tony GoGo. Even tho he wasn't an original member

[@judymcgaugh6480]

@@antoniowhitner7594 Thank You No one can forget Tony GoGo. I was just trying to go to the Original Members. But even tho Don Campbell was locking on Soul Train and taught the dance to many dancers on that show which included Fred Rerun Barry, Greg Campbellock Jr. Pope, Leo Flukey Luke Williamson, Bill Slim the Robot Williams, with the youngest Shabba Doo. Many female dancers on the Train were also locking, learning from Don Campbell Including Shabba Doo's sister, Fawn Quinones, Damita Jo Freema, Jody Watley. Back to Tony GoGo Lewis Foster ,he started his own crew of the GoGo Brothers, and his group was the first to perform as a group in public areas, even before the Lockers were put together by Toni Basil. TONY was used as a alternative dancer with the lockers when needed. In 1985, he moved to Japan and opened a Dance school.. his teaching locking all over the world and Judging at world reknown battles made his name forever as a Master Locker. He has 2 sons , of course who carry on the tradition of Locking and Popping also, the GoGo Bros. Their Sister, who dances also....so thanks for bringing up Tony , but the reason I did not, was its hard to not give out info. On all he has done for the Dance community all over the world....
