Примечание: At the height of his fame in the 1980s, Hatchett's classes in New York City at the wildly popular Hines-Hatchett studio (now renamed the Broadway Dance Centre) attracted celebrities including Madonna, Brooke Shields, Olivia Newton-John, and Naomi Cambell. Though he hated flying, preferring to cruise in a Corvette from Massachusetts to Manhattan, each week saw Hatchett jet setting for classes and performances around the world. Despite his star power, Hatchett's signature "Vop Style" emphasizing emotion and attitude over strict technique was made accessible to children, adults, and people from all walks of life. He was also known for forming personal bonds with his students through dance like Richard Simmons did with Sweatin' to the Oldies, Hatchett's role as a father figure inspired the nickname "Papa Frank," while Good Morning America dubbed him "The Doctor of Jazz." Hatchett's name and photos may appear on the sleeves of his records like Dance Crazy, Jazz Power, or Vop Style, but he is nowhere to be found in the music contained within. Instead, these albums dating back to 1974 were recorded by largely unknown studio players under the guidance of musical director Don Tipton or arranger Zane Mark. Performers include keyboardist Fred McFarlane (Madonna, Keith Sweat, Evelyn "Champagne" King), drummer Bernard Davis (Steve Winwood, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Kool & The Gang), and actor Tamara Tunie, best known for her role as medical examiner Melinda Warner on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. "When I was playing with Frank it was easy to get musicians involved because all of the women at his studio were gorgeous," remembers Tipton with a laugh. "Everyone came there because actors have to move, singers have to move, and dancers have to dance. Broadway performers have to be a triple threat, so Frank taught them too." In the highlights compiled on this expansive double LP set, the sounds of Hatchett's albums run the gamut from disco and funk in the 1970s to electro and proto-techno as they glide through the '80s.
