Grandmaster Flowers
Grandmaster Flowers (Jonathon Cameron Flowers) was a DJ from Brooklyn, New York. One of the earliest DJs to mix records together in sequence,〔Browne, P “The guide to United States popular culture” Popular Press, 2001. p.386〕 Flowers was known as one of the earliest pioneers of hip hop. Flowers was involved in the disco and funk scene and used to hold block parties. Flowers is cited as having a "formative influence" on hip hop DJs〔Shapiro, P “Turn the Beat Around: The Secret History of Disco” Macmillan, 2006〕 such as Grandmaster Flash〔Price, E.G “Hip hop culture” ABC-CLIO, 2006. pp.25〕 and Afrika Bambaataa in the early 1970s. In 1969, Grandmaster Flowers opened for James Brown at Yankee Stadium. Although an inspiration to many of hip hop's early greats - he is highly respected by those he influenced - Flowers never himself made it to the heights of his successors in hip hop culture. As he found himself being overtaken by the younger up-and-coming DJs at the end of the 1970s, Flowers succumbed to a life of hardship and dependence on hard drugs. He died in 1992.
