Do you wanna get down?
Alongside the likes of the much-missed Baroness Betty Boothroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Paul "Crocodile Dundee" Hogan, Albert Roux, Chevy Chase, Johnny Ramone, Rev Jesse Jackson, Ray Reardon, Ardal "Father Dougal" O'Hanlon (who is 60), Matt Damon (55), Bruno Mars (40), Sadiq-fucking-Khan, Bill "Selwyn Froggitt" Maynard, Ursula von der Leyen and - erm - King Zog I of Albania...
...it's the 75th birthday today of one Robert "Kool" Bell!
By way of a celebration - and no, it's not their hit of that name - here he is with his gang [of which he is the only surviving founder member], and my fave number of theirs:
Faboo!
It’s amazing that I don’t tire of this song!
ReplyDeleteIt's faboo - and was their biggest hit here in the UK! Jx
DeleteI heard Betty Boothroyd and Patricia Routledge were companions!
ReplyDeleteI don't know whether they did the "Kit-Kat shuffle", but they were "best friends", neither of them ever married, and Dame Pat did sing at Baroness Betty's funeral... Jx
DeleteHappy birthday to all whether they are still with us or not
ReplyDeleteFab track
It's just so bloody cheerful! Jx
