Lipps, Inc. – Rock It 5:40 12" DJ Promo NBD-20186 S-sided 1979 Disco Cynthia Johnson
You'll be blown away by how unbelievably good this sounds. Even with a little wear, this one really does pop. It sounds amazing no matter what way you slice it, and not to mention it's Funkytown, an awesome song.
Lipps, Inc. was a funk/disco band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, featuring Cynthia Johnson on lead vocals, best known for the 1980 worldwide chart-topping hit "Funkytown".
The name "Lipps, Inc." is a play on the words "lip sync". Cynthia Johnson was the group's lead vocalist and saxophonist who also co-wrote some of the band's songs. The rest of the group consisted of a changing lineup of session musicians, including guitarist David Rivkin, guitarist Tom Riopelle or bassist Terry Grant. Steven Greenberg wrote and produced most of the group's music.
Lipps Inc.'s first release was the 1979 single "Rock It". The act released its debut album "Mouth to Mouth" in late 1979. The second single from this album, "Funkytown", spent four weeks at #1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts in the United States. The 7" single sold over two million copies within a few months and was awarded a platinum record within the same year of its release, soon after followed by double-platinum. "Funkytown" hit #1 in 28 different countries around the world. Even till today, Funkytown's pervasive influence on popular culture continues to hold its own from the movie screen (e.g. Shrek 2) to the Olympic stadium and all stops in-between.
