Driving people crazy, ya'll

Way back in 2015, I said:

...I'm in just the right mood for some tight-trousered, felt-hatted, open-shirt, Stud-soundtrack-worthy funk courtesy of the Real Thing...

...featuring Legs & Co AND Hot Gossip dancer Floid Pearce!

And guess what, dear reader?

I still am!

Thank Disco It's Friday!

Legs & Co - The Real Thing - Let's Go Disco

Have a great weekend, folks - fingers crossed this hot'n'sunny weather lasts...

Tight trousers, felt hats

It's the end of my first week back after the holiday.

I am greatly relieved for that fact - and I'm in just the right mood for some tight-trousered, felt-hatted, open-shirt, Stud-soundtrack-worthy funk courtesy of the Real Thing...

...featuring Legs & Co AND Hot Gossip dancer Floid Pearce!

What more could you want?

The night is still young
Let the DJ play your favourite song
Lets go Disco,
Lets go Disco!

Legs & Co - The Real Thing - Let's Go Disco

Thank Disco It's Friday, indeed!

Have a great weekend...

Feel the Force

It's the weekend again - but a special one for us. From 5pm tonight I will be on holiday for a fortnight, and thank heavens for that! Unfortunately the continued situation here at Dolores Delargo Towers being impecunious, we won't be travelling to the sunshine (only Essex and Brighton - hardly tropical).

Never mind, we can dream - and in the estimable space-age madness world that The Real Thing inhabits, that dream is all the more sparkly...

The Real Thing - Can You Feel The Force?

Let the Force Be With You - and Thank Disco It's Friday!!

I could move a mountain when your hand is in my hand

It's the weekend again - sunny and warm if we're very lucky!

Time to grab your best cerise satin jacket and cravat (don't bother with a shirt, obviously!), or maybe just that maroon velvet boiler suit you've been dying to wear, and funk with The Real Thing...

Real Thing - You To Me Are Everything (Top of the Pops, 1976)

Thank Disco It's Friday!

The sweetest song that I can sing

Happy 60th birthday today to the eternal soul boy and latterly champion Crufts dog breeder Eddy Amoo! His band The Real Thing was a bit of a phenomenon in the 70s - they were the best selling black group of the decade, and one of the few UK soul/dance bands to break the cherished American market.

And they wore the most enormous flared trousers with pride! Enjoy...
