Having said that, where are the jazz and funk in this?”

I would have loved to play jazz funk like this if I had learnt the piano.

Good decision, great song”

No idea when or where I read it, but it may have been 34 years ago!

Poor man. I heard that he collapsed doing a concert a few days ago. Hope he'll be okay. I saw a documentary about him a year ago, and he appears to be a really good bloke.”

I know. He's almost 70 now. Maybe needs to take it a bit easier.

Diana Ross wearing a rather revealing top in her promo shot.

And if I thought the Snowmen looked messed up, the Tweets are off the scale.

Just think, the great man was laying down Blade Runner tracks at this same time. We are indeed, not worthy.

Boy, that's a small guitar.

Powell was right, this is a superb song.

The Fairbrass is everywhere at all times, but most of all, in our hearts.

It's a silent Guitar, like the G in Gnome.

He says his sun rises in the east but he pointed westwards. This guy won't be finding his way home any time soon.

At least they never had a bassoon player in the background!

Trivia alert: I recall Tommy Vance saying on the Sunday evening Top Forty chart rundown at the time that all the men in that group had dark hair which had been bleached - but the black haired female singer was a natural blonde.
