Fifty-one years ago today, on July 26, 1975, Van McCoy and the Soul City Symphony's "The Hustle" reached No. 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Soul Singles charts. The largely instrumental track stayed atop the Hot 100 for one week, but its place in '70s culture would last far longer.
Kipps encouraged McCoy to create a song around the dance. With just one hour of studio time remaining, McCoy quickly wrote down what came to mind and recorded "The Hustle."
That simple observation became the basis of a song driven by its steady rhythm, orchestral sound and brief commands to "Do the hustle" and "Do it."
"The Hustle" also earned McCoy the Grammy Award for Pop Instrumental Performance in 1976. He received two additional nominations that year for the song and Disco Baby.
