Fuck! The alarm's gone off again!
As we drag ourselves, kicking and screaming, towards the coffee machine, the laptop, the shower and the office - on this Tacky Music Monday we have a song [a Northern Soul classic, no less] with an apposite title to provide our soundtrack.
Laydeez'n'Genelmen, please put your hands together for...
...Miss Joanie Sommers [who is still with us, aged 83] and her "safety gays"..!!
Have a good week, dear reader.
Yep, that weekend went by a bit quick didn't it??!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't listen now as the radio is on in a different room and I'm too lazy to get up to turn it off! Soz.
Have a good week - I hope it is painless and swift.

Whoosh! Jx
DeletePS Maybe you'll get back to the video when someone else goes and switches the radio off or you..?
Joanie is something else. A very Bachrach musical moment. She has an interesting intonation and sings from the jaw. Thanks for sharing this. Love the song.
ReplyDeleteShe never made a dent on the charts over here - but this particular record is a collector's item amongst the Northern Soul crowd in the UK. An original vinyl pressing is worth over £400! Jx
DeleteAmong Miss Sommer’s “safety gay” dancers of the Hullabaloo tv show, is famed choreography Michael Bennett of A Chorus Line and Dream Girls fame.

DeleteLovely and the gayest of safety gays
