Rock Steady Crew is an American breaking and hip hop group which has become a franchise for multiple groups in other locations. The group's 1983 international hit song "(Hey You) The Rock Steady Crew" (from the group's first studio album Ready for Battle) peaked at No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart,[109] and reached the top 10 in many European countries. Members of Rock Steady Crew featured in the films Flashdance[110] and Beat Street, which ignited international interest in the b-boy subculture.[111]

History

The 1977 original crew was called "Untouchable Four B.Boys". There were 4 members: Joe-Joe, Easy-Mike, Jimmy-Dee, and P.Body 170th.

The larger group known as Rock Steady Crew was initially formed in The Bronx, New York City in 1977 by b-boys Jimmy Dee and Jimmy Lee. The Manhattan branch was created by Crazy Legs and B-Boy Fresh in 1979. The New York Times called the Rock Steady Crew "the foremost breakdancing group in the world today."[112]

Former members

Early Music Dealings

In the early part of the 1980s Rock Steady Crew's talent manager was Kool Lady Blue, also known as Ruza Blue, founder of Club Negril & Roxy NYC.[114] [115]

If you claim to be hip-hop, you better pay attention! Please read the interview with Kool Lady Blue. Kool Lady Blue is my first manager, and she is also the first person to establish a hip-hop residency in the downtown scene. The names and places are legendary. The story of how this all came about should be mandatory reading for anyone who would like to learn about how hip-hop culture made it to the downtown scene and throughout the rest of the world..please share your thoughts on what you learn on this post. #hiphop #rocksteadycrew #davidbowie #hiphophistory #knowledge
