The New Yorker Man Parrish was one of the glamorous freaks that once frequented Manhattan's seminal nightclub Studio 54 to sensually gossip about what Andy Warhol or their neighbour's dog just did. Parrish, who, as a musician, was influenced by the works of Klaus Nomi, Kraftwerk, and Brian Eno, recorded his debut release in a studio he shared with Afrika Bambaataa. Man Parrish cuts such as "Hip-Hop Be Bop (Don't Stop") or "Boogie Down Bronx" became classics of the early electro/hip-hop scene. In 1982 Parrish issued his self-titled debut album.
