Biography:
Curtis "Kurtis Blow" Walker, (born on August 9, 1959, in Harlem, New York) is one of the pioneer rappers in the recording industry, and hip hop's first mainstream star. "The Breaks" (1980) is one of hip hop's undisputed classics, with its catchy disco tune and rapping style. Blow was influenced by DJ Hollywood.
He became an MC in his own right around 1977, and changed his name to Kurtis Blow (as in a body blow) at the suggestion of his manager, future rap mogul Russell Simmons.

"Don't stop the body rock!"

People in the middle, if you want to wiggle, say
E G A
"Don't stop the body rock!"

And people on the side, if you want to slide, say:
E G A
"Don't stop the body rock!
