Warning; This episode has very explicit language.

Season 3 starts on POP; The History Makers with Man Parrish. With hits like Hip Hop, Be Bop (Don't Stop), and Boogie Down (Bronx), his stripped-down early hip-hop/electro music was to prove influential, and his single Male Stripper with Man 2 Man was to be his biggest hit.⁠

He suffered parental abuse, & sexual abuse. He left home at 13. He was 14 when he first went to Studio 54, lying about his age to get in. He was among the most creative people of that era. Andy Warhol named him. He was friends with the Club Kids leader, Michael Alig, who spent 15 years in jail for murder. He was ripped off by his manager and earned nothing. His life is not for the faint-hearted. He's forthright, he doesn't hold back and this is the wildest ride of an interview I have ever experienced. ⁠This is a fast ride through the 1980s with Man Parrish.

Don't forget to listen to the update on Man Parrish which is available from the 20th of Feb 2023.
