Brooklyn's Kangol Kid was a central member of U.T.F.O., the group best-known for "Roxanne, Roxanne" -- the song that provoked countless response songs. Like his fellow group member Doctor Ice, he broke into music as a dancer for Whodini. Though he took a step back from performing after the group's split, he never left the music industry -- he got into songwriting, production, and management. This included taking the group No Curfew -- made up of three of his sons -- under his wing, in addition to writing jingles and music segments for New York's Hot 97 radio station. Kangol Kid also became a frequent keynote speaker and panelist at music conferences. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
