'[TheBreaks] was a huge radio record, and opened the door to radio for [hip-hop].' -- Kurtis Blow.
One person in the studio that helped write and produce the salient"The Breaks" was the late Robert"Rocky" Ford Jr., who passed away at age 70 in May. The hip-hop pioneer played an integral role in Blow's rise to stardom, as Kurtis looked at him as a father figure, who helped him shed his shy tendencies and turn into a more evocative performer on stage.earlier in June.
"The Breaks" was one of the first rap songs to make the Hot 100. Were the charts something you were focused on? With Robert Ford Jr. passing away in May, can you speak to your friendship with Rocky and him writing a portion of"The Breaks," as well as being like a father figure to you? Rocky loves Denzel Miller doing a solo with a synthesizer, which is an electronic instrument and the sound was called a clavinet. Of course, he did the piano solo first. I wanted the piano, but Rocky wanted the clavinet. So we were going back-and-forth and we decided to use both of them. So you'll hear the clavinet under the piano and Denzel Miller played the same kind of solo and it matched perfectly.The problem I had was still being shy.
