MUSIC REVIEW & RECORD COLLECTOR NOTES
Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" (Rock It) was a huge breakdance and Electro-Funk record at the time and proved popular on the radio as well.

With all the hip-hoppers and free-stylists out there I would expect a lot of comments here, but none?? this was a land-mark record. It crossed-over to radio from DISCOS. A very popular record in my clubs, especially when I used a second copy to extend it with some amazing remixes. The things a great deejay could do with this record was outstanding. Constant instrumentation made that rather easy. on my scale from 1-10, it gets an easy 10.
