* Don Campbell is the Originator of The Campbellock because the dance was created according to no preceding model. His dance is the highest definition of a creative being unaware of his creation but forever defined by it. “It was a gift from God,” he always said.

Donald Campbell’s creation is now considered an art form with a distinct language. With this fabulous song, Don gives you the command and describes what you must do to do The Campbellock.

“A Gentleman by the name of Sonny Craver approached Donald Campbell about making a record about his dance The Campbellock, that was becoming wildly popular due to its exposure in the night clubs and on #SoulTrain. Sonny felt my father’s dance could make an impact culturally like “The Twist.” So in February of 1972, “The Campbellock” by Don “Soul Train” Campbell was born, along with the B Side song “Stuffing The Bird.
