"In 1983 Grandmaster Melle Mel releases "White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)", copying the bassline of "Cavern". 99 Records sues Sugar Hill Records for the similarities. However, when Sugar Hill is ordered to pay $660,000 in damages, it declares bankruptcy shortly after." --Sholem Stein "Putain, putain, c'est vachement bien, nous sommes quand même tous des Européens."--"Putain putain" (1983) by TC Matic Now just let your body move (Streetdance, streetdance) --"Street Dance" (1983) by Break Machine |
