THE LOCKERS (1973) Where Are They Now ?

[@Dragonflyjones67]

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.

[@jeneenbuchanan8891]

Absolutely 👍

[@HughJorgan09]

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.

[@ronnrogers9459]

True I agree

[@jemahoney]

He was one of the best I’ve ever seen

[@gloriamandala5336]

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. 🎵❤️

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

[@supachaloopa3611]

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.

[@blkapino6318]

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

She was in the movie easy Rider and five easy pieces as well. And of course who can forget the hit song Mickey

It’s hard to believe but she was also in one of those Bikini Beach movies in the 60’s.

Fun fact...Michael Jackson also mastered their locking dance and showed it off on The Jacksons mid-70s TV show.

On Sonny & Cher, Michael also did some Locking while performing Dancing Machine with his brothers back in 1974

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.
