Camelot Kings 2

This rare clip came from Wyrick’s Disco, an amateur dance music show from the mid-seventies jointly produced and directed by high school students from Mount Pleasant and Camden High schools. What makes this so rare is recording video and audio at that time was not available to most people. For those who could afford it they were still using non-audio 8 mm cameras in other words shooting with film without audio. This b&w clip was recorded on reel-to-reel video tape provided by Gill Cable (San Jose Cable Company that went on to become what we know as Comcast/Xfinity) through their community TV access channel 2B. This is also the oldest known footage from the community access channel. It features some of the earliest known pre-hip hop dance style known as “pop-locking or boogaloo-ing”. The Camelot Kings (made up of mostly Silver Creek High School students) was arguably the number one urban dance group in San Jose at a time when there were literally dozens of groups throughout San Jose. Locking (made famous by L.A. /The Lockers) was starting to fade making room for a new style which originated somewhere between Fresno and Oakland called “popping, vibrating, creepin’ or boogaloo-ing”. Popping was a derivative of “The Robot”. The Camelot Kings was formed by Michael McCullough and featured the Williams’ brothers Irving, David and Cedric Williams, female dance pioneer Tanya Hampton, and guest little Larry Livers and this new style emerging coming from “popping pioneer” Darryl Botley. Daryl and David Williams are regarded as SJ’s founding fathers of what we know today as “popping”. This clip is from circa 1977 features students Joel Wyrick (host and guest dancer) with Susan Wente doing the post interview.
