It soon took off and became a hit. He later took the song on the road on tour with #JamesBrown.______________________________He was diagnosed with both liver and kidney cancer in 2016. Rather than undergoing surgery, doctors believed his best option was treatment. In one of his final messages about his illness he gave advice to anyone struggling. He said, "Anybody that's going through cancer, know that you have cancer and cancer does not have you, so keep on doing the Cha Cha Slide.” #Roomies let’s keep his friends and family in our prayers.
