Pure Funk loves showcasing Hip-Hop's (and dance's) history, and the Lockers certainly qualify as Hip Hop and dance legends. This video is from the mid 70's before break-dancing or even video-clips had taken off.
From Wikipedia: The Lockers (originally named The Campbellock Dancers) are pioneers of street dance and locking and were active throughout the 1970s. The Lockers were formed as a dance act in 1973 by Don Campbell and Toni Basil eight years before MTV and 32 years before any of the current TV dance competitions could give them a hands up. They were "Dancing their way to stardom" on their own. [1] Don Campbell is the founder of the locking dance style. Individual members' contributions (as soloist performers) to the dance style and group image coupled with their unique presentation in staging and concept broke down many barriers. It has been said on So You Think You Can Dance that 'The Lockers emergence on the dance scene changed the face of dance not only for street dancers but for dance in general and has made street dance a true American art form
