‘The Hustle’ was already a popular dance that had emerged in the early 1970's in Latin circles and was brought to Van McCoy’s attention when a New York DJ took him to a local nightclub to check it out. McCoy loved seeing people dancing together again, he once said it reminded him of ballroom dancing and he wrote ‘The Hustle’ in an hour. ‘The Hustle’ catapulted him into the spotlight and helped fuel a pulsating disco frenzy.
Van McCoy was only 39 when he died of a heart attack on July 6, 1979. But he lives on via: “The Hustle”
