182. Rockit - Herbie Hancock - Directed by Godley & Creme

December 30th 2008 05:08

Jazz Legend Herbie Hancock - Rockit

When Jazz legend (and we are talking about one of Miles Davis's keyboardists here) decided to turn his hand to pop music he completely changed it forever - this is probably the earliest beginnings of rap and hip hop. The first popular tune to include scratching and turntablism. This revolutionary track also came with a music video decades ahead of its time. UK directing team Godley and Creme motorised human sculptures from sculptor James Whiting and got them to move in rhythm with the music. Herbie Hancock proved that he could turn his hand to anything with this track and the results might look slightly dated now but this was seriously groundbreaking at the time as no one was doing anything like it musically or visually. Enjoy this great clip.

Hey Paul,

Thanks for your comment - it is pretty scary now I look at it with hindsight - especially if you were young.

Do you have any particular favourite clips that you would like to see???

Hope you have a great new year
