The Boogie Boys were an American hip hop group from Harlem, New York City.
It was the first hip hop group that signed with Capitol Records, and it had a major hit in America in 1985 with the single "A Fly Girl" and two successful albums.
In 1988, Rudy Sheriff left the group and, soon after, it disbanded.[1]
The group were veterans in sampling using high end systems such as the Synclavier, the Fairlight, an Emulator and the DKI Synergy synthesizer.
