“The Hustle” was a standout for several reasons. Written by McCoy, who was a record producer and arranger, the song featured a lead melody which was played on a piccolo by session musician Philip Bodner. "The Hustle" also featured electronic pianos and horn and string sections directed by arranger Gene Orloff, according to Songfacts.
McCoy went on to win the Grammy Award for best pop instrumental performance for “The Hustle” at the 18th Annual Grammy Awards in 1976.
The dawn of a dance craze
According to The New York Times, McCoy told Black Stars magazine in 1975, “I hadn't even seen the dance when I wrote the song.”
While McCoy initially felt the new style his friend showed him seemed “strange,” he also likened it to ballroom dance and quickly wrote the song about it.
“The Hustle” went on to sell more than 10 million records, and it became the dance hit of the ‘70s, per Smithsonian magazine. It was McCoy’s only Top 40 hit before his death in 1979 at age 39.
