In 1982, Allison Smith appeared in the film Annie, where she performed the song Its a Hard Knock Life as one of the orphans. While the number was written as a Broadway style ensemble piece, the way it was delivered stood out. The rhythm, spoken emphasis, and call and response structure gave it a raw, percussive feel that closely resembled what would later be recognized as rap. At the time, it was simply viewed as a theatrical performance, but in hindsight it feels surprisingly ahead of its momen

In 1982, Allison Smith performed "It's the Hard Knock Life" from the musical Annie during a television appearance on the British program The Oxford Road Show. At the time, Smith was the longest-running performer in the title role of Annie on Broadway, a part she held for nearly three years.
