So five stars.

Anyways, back to Jeff.

And that hip-hop culture of music and self-expression can be traced back to that party organised by a teenage girl.

Her name was Cindy Campbell, and Cindy and her older brother Clive were born in Jamaica, and in the 1960s they moved to America.

Fast forward to 1973 and Cindy's on school break, but school's nearly back and she needs some new clothes to start the term with.

And to do that she needs money, so she decides to throw a back-to-school party.

The invitation is hand-drawn on this little piece of paper.

It's got big 3D letters at top that say, A DJ Kool Herc Party.

And underneath, Back to School Jam.

It's scrawled in permanent marker with stars all around it.

The date?

On August 11th.

The price?

50 cents for the guys and a quarter for the girls.

And at the bottom, it says, Special Guests with Cindy's name second in line.

And the time of the party was from 9pm to 4am.

So how do you keep a party going through the night?

Well, music of course.

Good music.

And luckily Cindy's brother was, yes, a DJ.
