Rockit - Herbie Hancock

Rock it! Don't Stop It!

RunWitMe said...: Rockit is a smash hit recorded by Herbie Hancock in his 1983 Future Shock album. I remember the fun video with all those funky robo-sculptures dancing. It was really ahead of its time. Currently, I am putting this in my running playlist and pretend that I am a running robot. The fast and furious scratchings sure lift the pace up when fatigue is creeping up those legs during a long run.

This song is also sampled by Janet Jackson in her hit - So Excited from her 20 Y.O. album. Very nice!; 11:00 PM

SELAMAT DATANG

Welcome to my music vault. Here you will find my favourite songs from the yesteryears. My intention of putting up this blog is to pay tributes to the entertainers who were there for me - especially during my ups and downs, throughout my carrot-cut-jeans-wearing high school years and those tea-dancing college years. Heheh! Seems like just yesterday....

I have a collection of 80’s & 90’s music on original CDs - little gems that I dug out from the bottom of the bargain bins. Hours spent from rummaging through the used CDs in 2nd hand shops and SPCA jumble sale are sometime worth it.

Some CDs were purchased during my trip to Japan a few years back. You will be amazed at the "retro" stuff that you can find in Japan! Of course having friends with the same music taste for swapping helps to add increase my collection.

I can safely say that none of the track posted here are available in Malaysia now. You can't buy them anymore! So, this will not affect albums sale. (OK..They were probably not released in Malaysia at the first place. LOL). Mostly are extended versions and remixed stuff.

My own thoughts and comments about the songs are written in the comment tab to keep the blog uncluttered. Please leave yours too.

I hope you enjoy this blog. Please drop bouquets and brickbats to runwitme@gmail.com
