Cancer has claimed the life of someone who was truly a pioneer, Henry Jackson, known to the world as Big Bank Hank, passed away today. And Pioneer might even be too weak of a word to describe this man. 1979s Rappers Delight, by his band The Sugarhill Gang was the very first hip-hop song to receive widespread air play, opening up a genre of music that remains immensely popular today. His music was sometimes described as rude, or profane, but it was obvious that he was always having a good time. His fast rhyming style was often copied, giving a voice to the urban youth, a voice that was often muted by the popular music of the day. He will be sorely missed. https://youtube/watch?v=1WHelVsu9x8
