What a blessed relief. That most difficult of weeks - the first back in the office after the lengthy break for "The Festering Season" - is almost over...
Our plans to move out and away from those "Demon Spawn" upstairs has begun in earnest, with two flat viewings tomorrow. However, there's still time for a party!
So welcome to the stand, dear reader, tomorrow's birthday boy the late, great Van McCoy - in the company of some rather frenetic "tropical" dancers in this vid - and let's all do the Soul Cha Cha, and Thank Disco It's Friday!
Van Allen Clinton McCoy (6th January 1940 – 6th July 1979)
[Two Cha-Cha tracks in one week - where will this lead..?]
Everything was so colourful back then
ReplyDeleteIndeed, it was released in the summer of '76 - everything was so much sunnier back then, too... [And I am not really surprised this one didn't dent the charts, competing as it it did in the never-ending sunshine with the likes of Tina Charles, Queen, Wings, ABBA, Elton John & Kiki Dee, Jimmy James, Demis Roussos and Peter Frampton.] Jx
DeleteIt may be colorful, but it's also a big mess. It looks like the choreographer, or whoever was pretending to be one, just gave them some general ideas while they were in the wings and then shoved them out onto the stage. Break a leg girl. And maybe that wig.
ReplyDeleteIt's an explosion in a dressing-up-room! Jx
DeleteVery Jolly
ReplyDeleteWe needed it, dear! Jx
