Let Your Body Move b/w Be Ever Wonderful by Jerry White and The Soul Steppers - Modern Soul Boogie 45 on Taylor Records #104 Let Jerry White take you on a 1983 Los Angeles Electro Boogie adventure. Synthesizers, percussion, guitars and keyboards that could get anyone, whether you were in a dance crew or not, up and dancing. There is no doubt in my mind that people were either pop locking, break dancing or doing the boogaloo to tunes like this all over LA. The style was born out of funk and disco. It gained momentum thanks to dj's, emcee's, dance crews and youngsters who would tell their friends about the movement that was soon to be a craze just one year later with the release of Breakin'. A few friends and I caught the bug. We were practicing at school and our elementary school even banned break dancing because a few of us were caught doing head spins. Put on your gloves, bring your linoleum and enjoy.
