Mr Penguin (RIP) Original Lockers Member, and also known as "Rerun" on WHat's Happening TV Show.
Shabba Doo Original Lockers Member
Poping Pete Electric Boogaloos
Spaz Punk Rock Dancer?
Penguin will always be Rerun to me.
Yo Toni Basil doesn’t get the credit she truly deserves!! RIP to Shabbat Doo and Fred Berry!!!!!
RIP Shabba Doo and Rerun!
rerun too?
always love watching shabba doo, shed a few tears for him. not many people realise how much Toni had a impact on the breakin scene.
@@luisd7636 Fred Berry died in 2003
two street legends RIP
I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since Ozone died. I just recently found that out. I actually thought he was still alive not long ago. God Rest his Soul 🙏 !!!
Wow,this was a rare Gem and RIP the {Rerun Mr.Penguin} Mr.Fred Berry who used to be a Soul Train Dancer in the early 1970s.
Yes. Fred (Re-Run/Mr. Penguin), Berry, Shabba Doo, Poppin' Pete and Toni Basil all used to dance on Soul Train starting back in the 1970's. Poppin' Pete was an original/founding member of Electric Boogaloo group. Fred, Shabba Doo & Toni were all original/founding members of The Lockers. All of them were so good. Toni is still dancing at 76! Shabbo Doo is 64 and Poppin' Pete is 58 so I'm sure they are still dancing. Not sure what happened to Spaz. RIP Fred Berry.
Look up Wattstax Rufus Thomas and in one of the crowd shots you see Re Run doing this slow motion dance and the crowd around him loves it. That's awesome he was super down to earth.
If you never met Mr Fred(rerun)you missed one of the most down to earth stars that ever lived..
Used to get his car worked on by an old friend of mine.
My daughter and I met Fred Rerun Berry in 2000 at the Universal Soul Circus when she 6yrs old. He was an awesome person. Rip to Fred Berry & Shabbadoo Both were extraordinary dancers.😔💐
Fred was the most memorable. Maybe because he had a tv show but also, he was sack of joy! It was easy to get it when he was on. He died on my birthday and it was widely reported and a sad day for all who loved him.
@@sekenamcmurren2217 love hearing that kind of thing, so often stars turn out to be stuck up or whatnot. You could tell Fred had a good heart though.
Always admired Mr Fred in the lockers!when o was a kid growing up in Trinidad it was the first I guess Music vid I ever seen .Well it was a song playing in and the lockers were dancing to it.Nothing form Nothing leaves Nothing.yuh gotta have something if you wanna be with me!! I would love to see them dance especially Mr Fred !!!!
RIP ReRun aka Penguin and Ozone aka Shabba-Doo 🙏🏾
I can't believe after decades I'm just now finding out Toni is the same woman who sang Mickey back in the day.
I just found out too!
Me 2
it is crazy huh .. actually found out ten years ago or .. very intresting huh.. an original lockers crew member/manager turned one hit wonder mickey... i so miss those days need an extended version of this ..rip shabba doo
Nice to see young, vibrant people being creative. Good energy.
Shabba-Doo was just so incredibly handsome, hard to believe that someone that beautiful ever existed those female Angels up in Heaven are no doubt having a heck of a field day over him, rest in peace handsome Angel
So I guess life is unfair in heaven too, huh?
The lockers went down in history as the true trailblazers for moonwalkers and breakdancers in the hip hop culture. Give the Lockers their 💐 flowers.
I don't know what you're talking about.
@Khultan
The Lockers was an excellent dance group formed by Toni Basil. If you know anything about Soul Music, look them up on Soul Train. These brothers were the hippest dudes that created artistic moves on the dance floor. Shout out to the B Boys and Crazy Leggs who were also creative dance artists from the Hip Hop Culture.
@@SS-ii6nz Where are you getting this vibe from that I'm dissing? You fused two entirely different regions and dance styles together. I'm not dissing you either. Look what you posted in your original remarks.
Amazing!!! Pioneers and history makers in their own right!
Amazing!! Poppin Pete is also from "Breakin'"
This footage is solid gold!
Peaceful journey Shabadoo 💔🕊🌹s
That is so neat how they all "The Locker's" became quite famous when they split up and went their own way.
RIP, OZONE!
This is a CLASSIC VIDEO! I love it
RIP Fred Berry. It's been 17 years. 😔
oh my god... this is amazing.
Dance history right here
Shabba-do wanted to laugh when Spaz started spazzin! LOL
I laughed hard lol xD
Where's the Greatest Dance of them all? We all know what it's called the Pee Wee Herman!!!!
Lol hell yeah
Yeah that was a bit strange, like why was Paz even there it was so awkward lol
Yea; Spaz definitely did not deserve to be on the same platform as those legends. But I guess he was hot at the time so she had to include him? 🤷🏾♂️
Rip Shabba Doo :(
Toni Basil now dances salsa in LA
RIP Fred 'Penguin aka Rerun' Berry
and
Adolfo 'Shabba-Doo' Quiñones
This is so touching WOW! What a great great little video.
Never noticed Shabba-Doo's dimples before! Cute!!! RIP King!
The heavier guy is Fred Berry - Rerun from What's Happening.
thank you for showing this, its been so long since i've seen this, it brings back so many memories, she did a lot for dance and dancers.
I am so happy to see this golden content uploaded
That's not penguin , that's my boy rerun 😂
Spaz Attack is in videos, DEVO for example and traveled as a featured dancer with David Bowie's "Glass Spiders Tour", which Toni choreographed btw.
Whats Happening Rerun!!!
❤️❤️❤️ Fred Berry aka Rerun and Shabba Doo
It's really quite amazing how pop culture that originates underground, from the streets can monetize into billions. Mind blowing.
Awesome stories
If you've ever seen the Musical Documentary that was being shown back in the 70's entitled WATTSTAX , when the late performer Rufus Thomas sings the song DO THE BREAK DOWN, the cameras will scan throughout the viewing audience, watch closely and you will see Fred ( Rerun / Mr. Penguin) Berry dancing as well as some of THe Lockers dancing, Fred is doing his slow motion move and the other guys are doing some regular locking, they are wearing their Locker hats, they attended the concert as are other concert attendees and are just having fun, I just love this movie, ahhh the good old days 👍👏👌❤️😊
Didn't know this ,will have to check that Out. Can I find it here on YTube(WATTSSTAX)?
Shabba Do and Poppin Pete are in the movie Breakin right???
Yes indeed Smokescreen Inc you are absolutely correct 👌👍
Sip easy Shabba Doo..sip easy Rerun..never knew they in group together..
He was on what happening with the other lockers
Straight up history. Lot of people don't know punks used to robot along with poppin. So cool seeing these legends .I've met don and toni. Shouts to them and brother of poppin pete, I think my uncles knew him. And shabbadoo. I wonder where spazz is today, he was in devos video back in the day and had his own band .
I didn't know dat new punks fuck wit early hiphop
@@beachboi6196 ive been in to punk and hip hop since the 80s.also prog and metal too
Ozone and 1/2 of Electro Rock..future enemies in more peaceful times...sigh.
So awesome!
Toni produced and choreographed "Talking Heads" video..."Crosseyed and painless" starring Poppin Pete. Awesome video I dont think the heads wanted anything to do with. My fav TH video.
Toni is fabulous lady!
The lockers need to be inducted to rock and roll hall of fame.
Super influential dancers.
They influenced 3 generations...wak more than ticktock no talent jerk drinking cranberry juice on a skateboard.
He dances like them.they are the original influencers
without a doubt. I am going to try and set up a petition to recognise their contribution to the dance genre.
Let's get rock n roll bands that really deserve it first
Rocker vs Lockers 1975 Grand Ballroom! Brooklyn was Rocking 1967 Burn and get Burn!
What went down Richdome1? Who organized it? Which dancers attended? Any footage? Fliers? Super interested to learn
Love ya Toni!❤
fascinating
Who remembers the What's Happening episode of Rerun @ the Doobie Brother's Concert....jumping up and the tape recorder flies out of his trench coat pocket! 🤓😂🤣🎤🎧
Toni Basil, lot of attributes dating back to the late 60s, search it on UA-cam.
Shaba Doo was electrifying!
Note* Van Damme , yes the Martial Artist had a cameo appearance in Breakin!
( Beach Scene )
Happy New Year Everyone
🕊 🌅 2021 🌋🕊
FANTASTIC GOD BLESS THEM LOVE KEITH DUMPSON
Damn, that was some high end special effect! Much respect for the pioneers!
Spaz aka Spazz Attack, aka Craig Allen Rothwell. You can see him performing in a couple of DEVO music videos (Peek-a-Boo, Satisfaction). There's a strong connection between Toni Basil and Devo.
I came here from the Mickey video. I find him hott lol!
Spazz was bass player in Toni's band too wasn't he?
Yeah I recognized that dude from the Devo videos, thanks for the heads up.
Brian Train where is spazz today
AWESOME
Good video.
awesome video. Pretty cool to hear them talking about nyc breakers before it was even really popular. But what they should have compared their locking to was our uprock. That would have been a better conversation.
I was Today Years Old When I found out Rerun's original dance name was "Penguin"
I can see why spazzing never caught on.
He literally had no business being in the company of that talent.
THE QUICKIES!
ONE TIME!
TWO TIMES!
lol
Shabba Doo's face when Spaz was Spazzing out 🤣🤣🤣
Rerun !!!!
This is master
Rerun!!
Came here for Rerun
Re Run!!!!!!!!!!
Got It! "Talking Heads - Crosseyed And Painless"
+Robert Black That is the boogaloo anthem in the UK!
RIP Fred Berry
Pete...💪👆
Yeah
Don't suppose you've got all of 2nd BBC Special that this clip comes from?
I think Spaz was in a few DEVO videos.
When did this interview first air and what TV station was this on?
Rerun............
Prince Lady Cab Driver playing in the background. 2:40 - 2:55
The all inclusive hug
when people were normal (written on Feb 20, 2021)
Delicious...
when he spazzed he literally stops talking cause he's really getting into character - absolutely fascinating.
Re run
can anyone say what is the song from 3:17?
Talking Heads I think
Who the hell is Spaz?
No talent hack who looked to be a hanger on. Really had no business being in the company of that great ensemble of talent.
This must be around 1982 or 1983.
Was Spaz in a DEVO video?
Jrock my boy!!! How's life?
rodney cALDWELL yes
The Spaz became more Punk Rock later on in th 80s..
Hey that's Re Run where the hell is Rodge ?
Writing novels.
spaz lol..
It is in instances like these i like to see diversity, because the white person was probably picked not because he was white but because he could really add something to the group.
Back when dancing was Kool as 💩
Shit Spaz needed a Chiropractor back then. Wonder what early nursing home, he resides at?
Shabba Doo didn’t like the spaz brah
The overt coil socially miss because gender microbiologically appear into a satisfying shoemaker. opposite, obsequious needle
Oh yeah,poppin pete WAY OVER RATED
It was hilarious to see Shabb look at Spaz.
