On 9/8/04, Dennis McNulty said something like:

>FWIW, I think Wonder Mike _is_ one of the Sugarhill Gang, as in :

That, I guess, is what Aymeric was trying to say in his post, which I
misread as we were laboring under the tyranny of English.

Still, those guys WERE rapping together in the Bronx, although not under
the name Sugarhill Gang prior to Sylvia Robinson's appearance on the
scene.  So for my money, saying that Robinson put them together from
scratch is a little like saying that Columbia Records was resonsible for
the Louis Armstrong Hot Five...

>I like the idea of him in IRCAM back in the day :)

Agreed.  But I'll get back to my original point, which addressed the
misidentification of a musical artist.  Throw your hands in the air,
anybody that likes being mis-eye-deed...

Best,

Charles
