Donnie Burns and Gaynor Fairweather danced to this.

It's on youtube.

Edit: Actually it seems to have been deleted.

The Monkees, on the other hand... a guilty pleasure. Though they could have gone even better with the 13th Floor Elevators if jaunty, bright and rickenbackerish sixties pop is required. Love that group...”

You didn't have anything good to say about "Hungry Like A Wolf" for Kimberley and Pasha's paso but you were wrong then too

Just cheer up,sleepy Jean,be a daydream believer and take the last train to Clarksville.

Alison's song - Addicted to You’ by Avicii is great. Hope they use it well...

As a teenager I knew Edmundo Ros, well to speak to anyway. I and some other teenagers, (mostly girls), worked in an office in the West End.
His club was in the basement of the building. He had an "office" on the floor above ours. The club had a separate entrance to the main entrance to the building, but it shared the passenger lift. As we came back from lunch, he'd often be in the lift, as we called for it, going up from his club to his office. There was sometimes some or other, tall, exotic looking Latin girl with him, "he was probably taking her up to his office for an interview."
He was very polite and would pass the time of day with you. We could also bump into him any time in the cloakroom, as the male and female toilets were on alternate floors. So he'd have to come down to our floor to use one. He'd talk about football and anything else you liked.

In the 2000 documentary, "I Sold My Cadillac to Diana Dors: The Edmundo Ros Story" on BBC4 in 2011, he was shown standing at the entrance of what was once his club and I recognised the entrance to my old work-place, next to it. Brought back a few youthful memories.

Great story - my dads cousin always spoke well of him, she was /is a singer on the West End and actress and always said he was one of the few band leaders she actually liked
