[Prudie]

If you've nothing better to do and are at an age to wallow in nostalgia have a look at BBC4 at the moment.

didnt lie osmonds hated this song :0(

[dotty.]

Can't watch the Osmonds at this stage, I'd been a fan the first time around with their first few hits, but then this was their change of image and I ust hated it, I'd just left school and went to work in a record shop and teenyboppers would come in the buy satin scarves with osmonds written on grrrr

[dotty.]

whorrrrr Rock your baby. This had been around on the Northern Soul circuit for about a year on import from the US, we used to buy copies out the back of a van at the front of the shop! Then a lable picked it up and released it properly and it was a UK hit.

[Prudie]

George McCrae - this is camping in N Wales for me. It was about the only current song on the village pub juke-box.

They should pictures up of what they look like now!!

[Prudie]

when I was younger I found Errol thing's tight trousers mind boggling!

[horselady]

Lol at Prudie-I used to think that about the lead singer in Shawaddywaddy, his trousers revealed quite a lot! Good to know our minds were on the music.

[Prudie]

Lead singer of Shawaddywaddy was very tasty!
I'm not allowed to watch the follow up programme ;-( but thanks for all your inputs. It was a great memory trip.

[yelenots]

BCR's are on now - wow!!

[dotty.]

I was sitting in a dressing room at the Royal Court theatre Liverpool with the Real Thing in October 1976.

[april1693]

Can anyone tell me the name of the song played at the end of the programme, sounded a wee bit like Billy Ocean. TIA

[dotty.]
