Though the Sugarhill Gang inaugurated the history of recorded hip-hop with their single ""Rapper's Delight,"" a multi-platinum-seller and radio hit in 1979, the group was cooked up to cash in on a supposed novelty item. Music industry producer and label owner Sylvia Robinson had become aware of the massive hip-hop block parties occurring around the New York area during the late '70s, so she gathered three local rappers (Master Gee, Wonder Mike, and Big Bank Hank} to record a single. Infectious and catchy, ""Rapper's Delight"" borrowed the break from Chic's ""Good Times"" and became a worldwide hit, eventually selling more than eight million copies."
