Their 1979 hit "Rapper's Delight" was the first rap single to become a Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Formation and early yearsThe members, all from Englewood, New Jersey, consisted of Michael "Wonder Mike" Wright, Henry "Big Bank Hank" Jackson, and Guy "Master Gee" O'Brien. The three were assembled into a group by producer Sylvia Robinson, who founded Sugar Hill Records with her husband, record producer Joe Robinson.[1] The group and the record company were named after the Sugar Hill, Harlem, neighborhood.[2] The Sugarhill Gang never had another U.S. hit, though it had multiple European hits, such as "Apache", "8th Wonder" (which was performed on the American music show Soul Train in 1981), "Rapper's Reprise (Jam Jam)", and "Showdown" (with the Furious Five). Later in 1999, the trio reunited and recorded Jump on It! a hip hop children's album.[3] Later yearsAfter Wonder Mike and Hendogg left Sugarhill Records in 2005, the original members of Sugarhill Gang besides Jackson have performed as the Original Sugar and as Rapper's Delight Featuring Wonder Mike and Master Gee. This is largely due to a string of legal cases against them regarding the use 'Sugarhill Gang' as their name. On November 11, 2014, Big Bank Hank died at the age of 58 after a long battle with cancer.[4] In 2016, the remaining living members of the original Sugarhill Gang, including Wonder Mike, Hendogg and Master Gee embarked on their first world tour in over a decade under the name The Sugarhill Gang. During this, they performed as the Sugarhill Gang for the Art of Rap festival tour in 2016, and at V Festival in Hylands Park and Weston Park in the UK as part of their world tour in 2016. Other places included, the Clockenflap Festival in Hong Kong on November 27, 2016, and they headlined at the Depot in the Park Festival in Cardiff, United Kingdom on August 5, 2017. Coming up, in July 2019 they will play the North Nibley Festival in Gloucestershire.[5] Discography{{Infobox artist discography| Artist = The Sugarhill Gang | Image = | Image size = | Caption = | Studio = 5 | Studio link = | Live = | Live link = | Compilation = 9 | Comp link = | Internet = | Internet link = | Video = | Video link = | Music videos = | MV link = | EP = | EP link = | Singles = 15 | Singles link = | B-sides = | B link = | Soundtrack = | Soundtrack link = | Tribute = | Trib link = | Option = | Option name = | Option link = | Option color = | 1Option = | 1Option name = | 1Option link = | 1Option color = | References = Yes | Ref link = References }} The discography of The Sugarhill Gang includes five studio albums, nine compilations and fifteen singles.
