Re: Cookie Crew
Date: 2006-09-29 10:45 am (UTC)It's utterly fab. But I only heard it in 1988, otherwise it might well have been very high on my list*. ("Rok Da House" their collab w/ The Beatmasters is also great - the start of UK hip house, of which much more should be said when we get to '88).
*I do right by the Cookies when we get to '89.
