Rerun and the Lockers
For some reason or another, I found myself today searching through youtube for videos of Boogaloo Shrimp, one half of the legendary jheri curled breakdancing duo from the 80's flick Breakin' (the other half being the equally amazingly named Shabba Doo). This in turn led to a further search for Fred Berry, a.k.a. "Rerun from What's Happeninng!," who during the 70's was part of a dance crew with Boogaloo and Shabba called The Lockers, the crew that originated the bboy style of "locking" and taught Michael Jackson a few of his dance moves. Not much more to it than that, it seemed like a good excuse to throw up some Rerun videos.
The Rerun Dance
Fred Berry on Soul Train dancing to The O'Jays
That last video is great not only for the fact that Berry is making some amazing facial expressions for the camera (beginning at the 1:08 mark), but also for the fact that in the comments to the video one youtube user discovers that his mother was not lying when she told him she was on Soul Train back in the day.
