One of the tracks that bridged disco and hip-hop during the genre's formative years.

Herman Kelly was a lesser-known funk/disco artist whose work became foundational to early hip-hop culture.

The track's extended drum break made it perfect for DJs who needed longer instrumental sections to showcase their skills.

Afrika Bambaataa's sampling of this track in 'Planet Rock' helped establish the foundation of electro-hip-hop.

The song exemplified the disco-to-hip-hop transition that defined early 1980s urban music culture.
