Arthur Baker Dissects How Planet Rock Was Made | The Questlove Show Arthur Baker produced and co-wrote “Planet Rock” by Afrika Bambaataa & the Soulsonic Force, a watershed moment for Dance, Electro, and Hip-Hop 12-inch singles. In a clip from The Questlove Show, Baker details how the 1982 Tommy Boy Records song came together, who did what, and why he was comfortable with sound-alike records from other artists. His memoir, Looking for the Perfect Beat: Remixing and Reshaping Hip-Hop, Rock, and Rhythms is available now.
