Terry Woodford: Master songwriter, musician, producer, sound engineer!
You may have heard some of Terry’s music on the show “The Get Down” on Netflix. It is about the birth of hip hop from sampling disco records just like “Scratchin'” The new season starts very soon. That particular song has been sampled about 125 times, and some of those are the all time hip hop classics that have also been sampled themselves.
