Remember Fred “Rerun” Berry? He was best known for his role as Rerun in the hit 70′s sitcom What’s Happening!!
Well what many don’t know is that Rerun was a member of The Original Lockers; or more widely known as the The Campbellock Dancers. A Los Angeles based dance group that pioneered poplocking and paved the way for popping. The original members were Toni Basil, the legendary Don “Campbellock” Campbell and Fred “Rerun” Berry a.k.a. Mr Penguin.
During the mid to late 70′s The Cambellock Dancers received a lot of attention due to their unique and unusual form of dancing. They appeared on commercials and TV shows such as: The Carol Burnett Show, Saturday Night Live and Soul Train to name a few.
Unfortunately, Fred “Rerun” Berry could not shake his identity of his Rerun character and ended up being typecast. Fred “Rerun” Berry passed away in October 21 of 2003 but definitely left a legacy within the street dance culture.
Here is a an entertaining video of The Cambellock Dancers performing on the set of The Krofft Superstar Hour Show.
