Hello, This is Vashawn, Shabba Doo's son. Let make something clear. My father is not part Ethiopian. Puerto Rican father, Black american Mother. Thank you. 🙏🏿

Breakin' and Breakin' 2 remain one of my favorite movies to this day because of Shabba Doo! R.I.P. Shabba, one of the best lock dancers to ever do it!

He was so handsome and an underrated legend. His death is still heartbreaking 💔.

I still have a hard time believing Mr. Adolfo Quinones, is dead. I reached out to him on Facebook. He added me to his friend's list. I was so excited!! We would communicate with each other sometimes. When I heard about his death, my heart just dropped!!💔. I saved our messages. I go back and read them sometimes. He was a great man. I miss him❤😢

I love Breakin to this day. Michael Jackson even held Shabba Doo in the highest esteem.

He came to Memphis a few years ago to talk to the kids about following their dreams...he was still fine! RIP

He deserves a star on the walk of fame in Hollywood period !

Interesting facts here! And to this day, I can NOT hear Chaka's "Ain't Nobody" without picturing that scene in the movie 😆

Fred Berry, Shabbadoo and Tony Basil. What a set.

He was so fine. He will never be forgotten. May he be at peace.

I remember him as a kid looking at that movie “Breakin and Breakin 2” he was a very good looking man I was shocked when he passed because not that long ago he was on Vlad TV and Soul Train documentary; I always felt something wasn’t right may he RIP And I am very glad you did this documentary thank you

R.I.P. Shabba-Doo 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊 And I remember you talking about The Lockers in The What's Happening cast story too! Thanks for telling his story my brotha!!! 👑👑👑 💯💯💯💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

I prefered Beat Street to Breakin but Shabba Doo and Pop 'N Taco stood out for me. May they both rest in peace🙏

Dang! Bringing back so many fun memories back in the 80’s. I remember when my brother and his friends grabbing cardboards laying them in the middle of the street break dancing with there loud boom boxes playing! Lol Those we’re the days 🙌🏾 🪩

Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo are still classic movies to this day

He actually lived in the same building I was born in which was 534 W.Division which was called the whites! My mom and dad went to Cooley High with him and I remember my momma saying, that he was a cute boy and now he a fine man!

And what's sad is that Shabba-Doo died in the same year (2020) as Dawn Wells, Sean Connery, Regis Philbin, Kelly Preston, Kobe Bryant, Naya Rivera, Pop Smoke, Huey, Chadwick Boseman, Tiny "Zeus" Lister, Natalie Desselle Reid, Andre Harrell, Fred the GodSon, Ecstasy of Whodini, MF DOOM, Little Richard, Betty Wright, David Stern, Jason Davis (the voice of Mikey from Recess), etc.

I promise in the eighties we used to think we were one of his dancers, it's so unfortunate he passed away may he rest in paradise.

I cried and cried and cried when I scrolled down my IG and saw he died a day after he said he was getting better. I just kept saying but he just said he was get better. Definitely a death that broke my heart

I wish he was still around. I was really excited when I learned break dancing would be a sport in the future Olympics games. I knew for sure he'd be a shoe in for one of the judges. Rest well sir!! ❤️❤️

This one is still close to my heart. He was Definitely underrated!

RIP to both Shabba-Doo and Pop-n-Taco

The Lockers also recorded a song called "Stuffing The Bird" in 1976 the instrumental version was the song Rerun Danced to in the first episode of "What's Happening?!"

He was a talented heartthrob for sure. 💕

Hip Hop is dead like Nas said. What they puttin out now is not Hip Hop.

Rip to a real legend 🖤

My guys a legend! R.i.p Ozone!

A story on rapper Ecstasy from Whodini would be very interesting

He was super gorgeous and talented. He helped to bring poppin and lockin to the screen. He had his own swag. He was so strong and a great presence.

He was so handsome. I, like most teenage girls , I'm sure, fanaticized about him. He had the moves, the looks and could act. I was saddened to hear of his passing. Thanks for doing a video on him. R.I.P Shabba-Doo. 🥰

Fun fact, Marla Gibbs was his Godmother. She and his mom were really close friends.

I remember when him and the lockers visited our elementary school in Chicago.. Omg he was a god to black urban children, he taught us how to dance and everything Good childhood memories.. R. I. P. Shabba Doo

Back in 1971 when Soul Train came to DC my sister's and I were hooked. I had never seen pop lockin'. My father who was in the Air Force at the time had remarried my step mother in California and got stationed at Andrews Air Force in 1972. I first met my step brother that year when they came to my mother's house and he was doing the pop lockin' dance. Little did I know that 50 years later Shabba Doo would be icon of that dance style. Those were great times.

Just added Breakin one and two to my movie playlist…classics to this day…. Shabba Doo:had that fire and was doing his thing in the 80s, 90s,and 00s…he was a cool chill positive and humble cat…never heard anything bad about him…still missed to this day…RIP Shabba Doo…

Man, Breakin 1 and 2 are still my favorite movies till this day. Breakin 1 came out in '84, the year I was born. Also, one of my mother's brothers acutally knew Shabba Doo before he moved to LA. He said he was a cool dude. Had no idea he was raised a Jehovah's Witness. I read how he became a Jehovah's Witness later in life before he died!! And damn he tapped Toni Basil? Knew she had a thing for the brothers. Man, that song "Mickey" is still a classic!! Great vid!!

14:27 "Then he was in Chaka Khan's video, ' I Feel For You'; which is still a Classic to this day. " Once a Classic, always a Classic....

Rest in peace to the Greatest

I remember in Baltimore as a child in the 80s my mom & older cousins use to take us kids to these two famous movie theaters in downtown Bmore. The Town and Hippodrome who were rite around the corner from each other & we would go see all those 80s hits like Purple Rain, The Last Dragon, The Terminator, Breakin. Those movies effected the rest of my life til I carried those names wit me til this day. My production name is BreaknBeat an honor to Breakin and Beat Street. Shabadoo was always a dancing god in my eyes. A cultural icon of my generation. He is embedded in our history. He's passing was really hard on me. One of my heroes. May he rest in peace 😞🙏🏾

I had a crush on this man since Breakin'♥️♥️♥️😎

I first met ShabbaDoo back in 2016 and asked him to be on my show Breaking Into on Black Hollywood Live. We become close friends. He came on my show like 4 more times over the years. He was a trip! He was youthful. And you’re right he was always working. He also had a clothing line AFRO. I STILL have the sweatshirts. I talked to him right before he died. I still miss him. He is very underrated. Thanks for doing this

I hope you do more stories on Betty Wright, Andre Harrell, Stezo, Lee Reherman, Della Reese, Taylor Negron, Byron Fox, Lisa Robin Kelly, Ron Lester, Chyna, Suzzanne Douglas, Yvette Wilson, Naya Rivera, Pam the Funkstress, Melvin Edmonds, Mitch Mullany, Heavy D, Big Pun, Armand Jones, Lynne Thigpen and Prince Markie Dee

This was awesome I was 7 when Breakin came out street legend we would bring the cardboard out in the 80's and get busy Rip Ozone & Poppin 🌮

I love your voice. Your Channel is what people want. We Want to know the Behind the scenes of fame and death. Popping Taco....legend too!

Breakin is one of my favorite movies. I use to be in love with this man/he was so fine. R.I.P. ❤️❤️❤️

This one should be epic!!!! Definitely wasn't expecting this one!!! How y'all doing today?

I loved Breakin wow I had no clue he was dead. 2020 was a crazy year and we lost so many people. Thank you for the video

Just started listening. Had no idea this brother was part Ethiopian. አመሰግናለሁ 🇪🇹

The " din data " song....that was an epic song for all us old B-boys

This is one of the stories i was waiting for thank you so much. Can we please get stories on other 80s hip-hop legends such as Pop N Taco, Biz Markie, Kangol Kid, Prince Markee Dee, Miss Melanie, MCA & Eazy-E?

He was my first crush..Breakin and Breakin 2 are two of the best dance movies outside of Fast Forward

Don "Campbellock" Campbell originated the dance Locking, and Shabba Doo followed other dancers that was on Soul Train to band together to form THE LOCKERS DANCE GROUP.. PLEASE DO NOT FORGET DON AND HIS LEGACY.. AS NO ONE CAN FORGET SHABBA DOO, DON SEEMS TO GET PUSHED TO THE BACK . RIP DON CAMPBEII, SHABBA "ADOLFO QUINONES" DOO, FRED BERRY, GREG POPE. I have to say each LOCKER had their own locking style and skills , but Shabba Doo brought it to a larger professional level by bringing it to larger crowds, the movie screens. He exposed so many to Street Dance, and made other want to learn the Dances. Him and several of the Original Lockers started teaching these styles passing this knowledge on to other generations of Dancers. TONY GOGO WENT ON TO JAPAN IN 1985 AND STARTED LOCKING, AND STREET DANCE FUSION SCHOOLS. MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT TO THE REMAINING LOCKERS TONI BASIL, BILL "SLIM THE ROBOT" WILLIAMS, LEO "FLUKY LUKE" WILLIAMSON, ANTHONY "TONY GOGO" FOSTER. And others who stepped into fill out the group when needed. We will miss Sabba Doo , I had always hoped he would have made another movie like he referred to having written a script for. It was suppose to carry on from the second movie. But he said his vision saw the lead character being a woman. The World of Street Dance will miss a Great Teacher, and Locking Legacy.

I get emotional watching Breakin 1 and especially 2. So fresh and fun. Ozone was an excellent dancer and could really act. He'll be missed.

Breaking one of my favorite movies... I had to watch Beat Street first then Breaking!!! So sad to hear he passed away. Rest in Peace King

Wow, you're the first person I heard say Breakin' 2 was better than 1 Everybody else would say they didn't care for breaking 2 or they couldn't get into it. On the other hand, I like both of them but part 1 is better for me. 🙂

Thanks for highlighting this iconic dancer. Shabba Doo was truly one of a kind and oh so gorgeous. I remember him dancing on Soul Train and as part of The Lockers on the What's Happening! episode. Breakin' was the movie that put the brotha on the map though. So epic. His death was shocking. R.I.P. legend.

Man, he was so handsome! What a talent. Thanks for the video. 👏🏾

I salute 🫡 you on such great content Thank You Celebrity Underrated 🙌🏽💯

Love the content bro. Keep it coming 👍🏿

Wow what a awesome person and great inspiration. He was one of the individuals that opened the doors for a lot of people

I had the biggest crush on him. Clogged ateries? He seemed like he was healthy and ate healthy.

LOVED HIM! ♥️🙏🏾🔥💯

He be truly be missed

I had such a crush on him back in the day and we was still fine as he got older ❤️ May he RIP 💔

R.I.P. to the man I saw on the movie screen who also became a friend. He always laughed when I told him how he helped my teenage dating life because I had a similar look as him. He said he was still the best looking between me and him. lol Crazy story: I grew up with his niece in Chicago and when Breakin came out she was telling us that he was her uncle but we didn’t believe her…years later after meeting and becoming friends I found out that she was telling the truth after all. I’m also good friends with his son.

Thank you for this video I turned 40 tomorrow and this literally made me want to dance. Without this movie I never would have been inspired to do so, Thank you Ozone

I was so I'm love with him,he was so freaking handsome and talented. Breakin and breakin 2 are still in my favorites. I cried so much they day I heard he died,rip.

Shabba Doo has never been underrated ...... I love that MAN,,, AND HE LOOKS FINER NOW.... He was my first crush EVER when I was a child!!! I didn't know what love was.....BUT I LOVED HIM!!!!

Shabba was known for Poplockin, NOT breakdancin. Breakdancin was in New York heavy bac then, "Rock Steady Crew", "New York City breakers". Westcoast had mostly Poplockin. Movies like "Footloose" "Breakin" was about westcoast lifestyle, with a caucasian female as the Star, smh. New York flicks were more like "Beatstreet, Wildstyle, Krushgroove ect". More of a deeper hiphop feel. Graffiti, breakin, Rappin, dj'ing ect.

That prop that Turbo used in that dance sequence was used on a Nightmare on Elm Street when Tna was murdered 😳

Rest in peace Shabba Doo aka Ozone God bless your memories 🕊

He will be missed he a good dancer

Dude kept working and contributing until his last breath. Respect.

My favorite line in breakin was when the the dance instructor asked ozone who he was he replied famously’ Orlando,choreographer,Dancer! Word.

Thanks for doing this bit on Shabba-Doo. I recall seeing him at 6 yrs old and I have had a crush every since.

He was my childhood crush. I was so heartbroken when I found out he passed away. The media says he had a son and a daughter. But they also said Gwendolyn Powell had only one child with him and he didn’t have children with Lela Rochon. So did he only have 1 child or two?

We need a Big Pun video

Omg that has upset me, I didnt no he was gone 😢 He truly was the Godfather of Street Dance. BREAKIN is one of the best movies made to date, it was so authentic and the blend of cultures made it great. 💛 RIP to Shabba doo...an original creater. Thank you for making history with ur art work 🙏🏽

R.i.p Popn Taco the Latino , R.i.p Shabba- doo

Awww I didn’t know he died that was one of my favorite movie so sad where I been smh RIP 🕊🕊🕊

Outstanding as always 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆He will always be Ozone to me❣️❣️❣️❣️

Oh wow 🤩 gotta see this one…thank you for doing it. Brings back memories of my 80s childhood when every other movie was about breakdancing.

Thx u for the story u should have your own tv show

I just enjoy your documentaries. Be blessed 🥰

Your facts r A1 your journalism Skillz r great I love your vids keep the heat coming do one on Marvin Gaye I love his music

Legend 🥺😢

Breakin' & Breakin' 2 were HUGE classics. They can never take those away from us. Every kids was dying for a Breakin' 3 back then....but in the end, I guess I'm glad they never did one. I still watch those movies to this day. RIP Ozone!

Adolfo G. Quinones aka Shabba Doo and his sister Fawn got their start on Soul Train. Right On! magazine featured most of the Soul Train dancers.

Another great video as usual!! Rest In Peace and Power Shabba Doo!

MANNNNN. I LOVED this movie. TFS. You know Taco just passed away. Taco was Poppin Pete's dance partner in Breakin. He was also in Micheal Jackson's video Smooth Criminal. Shabba Doo dancing was legendary. Toni Basil from the lockers get a lot of credit for her dancing, but NEVER mentions that she started in the group.🤔😒

You are a underrated young man, you also seen like a good dude and loyal, A friend to want forever.

MY GOODNESS, I LOVED ME SOME SHABBADO! HE WAS SO TALENTED AND COULD DANSE HIS AZZ OFF! GONNA MISS YOU SHABA! RIP SWEETHEART 🙏 🪦 🤎💜💙😇

He most definitely had love for his black peoples,and that’s a fact! What a handsome and talented man.Such style and grace.I loved him on Soul Train❤❤❤❤RIP 🙏🏾

Thank you! for this great story on Shabba-Doo always remember him from Soul Train. Him his sister and the locker were great performers. Just bringing back great memories.

He was a director and a producer as well. Very smart man. His legacy will live on and on and on and on....

I was more of a Beat Street type of guy, but Breakin was awesome I watched both anytime they came on t.v.

Breakin was one of my favorite movies. I should watch back in the 80s it over and over again. I had a huge crush on Ozone in Breakin. RIP❤🙏

I love him and was so sad he passed, RIP Shabba-Doo! ♥️ Poppin Taco, too! 🥺

Much luv.. from 804.. nice work...

Intresting ,my kids loved the 80"s...Prince etc... 🙏 Kids are cruel calling him Alpo.

Wow!!! Thanks for this!!! He was an awesome dude full of knowledge. It still hurts. One of the coolest dudes you ever want to meet. You did your research thoroughly!!!
