Rodgers was a musician and presenter of a rap radio show on the New York station WHBI 105.9. In 1981, he recorded a single, "Searching Rap" under the name Bon Rock. This brought him to the attention of Morali and Belolo, the French producers who had been successful in the late 70s with the Village People, and who were looking for new styles after the decline of disco. In 1982, together with the musician Fred Zarr, they released the single Street Dance, which was an international hit and one of the earliest mainstream breakthroughs for hip hop, although its style is considered more of a pop interpretation of that genre rather than an accurate reflection of the underground music of the time.

Today, Keith Rodgers is still a musician, working under the name SugaBear.

"Street Dance" peaked at #3 on the UK singles charts in March 1984[1] and was the 42nd best-selling single of that year.[2] It hit #1 in Sweden and Norway.[3] In Germany, it was the 78th best-selling single of 1984.[4] It charted #11 in Italy.

"Street Dance"'s strongest chart performance was in France, where it was #1 for two weeks, selling over a million copies and becoming the 86th best-selling single of all time according to a list released in 2004 by the Syndicat National de l'Edition Phonographique[5]

Subsequent singles "Break Dance Party" and "Are You Ready" both reached the British charts, peaking at number 9 and number 27 respectively. The LP Break Machine reached number 17.

Every where that you may go
We are jamming in the street
All the people that you meet
Dance to the beat

If you come to New York City
You will never be the wack
When you see us city kids
Spinning on our backs

I like the way he does that dance
When he glides across the floor
You know it really blows my mind
I always yell for more

I can't believe the things I see
Like diving on the ground
Then he's standing on his head
And grooving to the sound

(refrão/chorus) :

Now just let your body move
(Streetdance, streetdance)
Put your feet into the groove
(Streetdance, streetdance)
When you feel your body shake
(Streetdance, streetdance)
Then you know you have got to break
Oh, aaaah

All the people that we know
Are rocking on the one
On the corner of China-Town
They are break dancing for fun

All the night clubs in LA
Their master mix is on
On the sidewalks of Detroit
They are popping all night long

People all around the world
Can break the way we do
All you need is the technique
And you can do it too
Take a look and you will know
This dance is done with ease

All you do is get on down
Spin around and freeze
All the people that we know
Are rockin' on the one
On the corner of Chi Town
They're breakdancing for fun
At the night clubs in L.A.
Their master mix is on
On the sidewalks of Detroit
They're poppin' all night long

In 1984 I was 20 years old in the city of my birth LA. I was totally lost. Sort of homeless at times, in and out of the county jail for traffic warrants and minor offenses, in a world wind relationship with my first girlfriend whose family hated me, unable to find employment and oh yeah, listening to this song in the background. I’m so fortunate to have made it, not just through that year, but through a life that was full of roadblocks and beat downs. I came through it without ever being shot or stabbed, without going to the penitentiary, without becoming addicted to drugs or alcohol. I’ll be 60 next year and I’m so glad I made it through

I actually lived this lifestyle when I was a teenager in the 80's. I danced like that, dressed like that and had talent like that. Most importantly, it taught me the importance of creativity, art, passion, self expression and discipline. Now, I am a grown man. I do not dance quite the same, however, the essence is still there and the celebration of life, follow through and authentic self expression continues. I will always have Street Dance in my heart! Thank you Break Machine!
