WOW! I just zoned out there for a few seconds. I was back in 1978, I was 12 years old, listening to this on TV in the North East of the UK with my Mum and Dad, with my whole life in front of me, and then boom! I'm back in the room and 57 again. Nostalgia is a beautiful thing.

Don't be fooled folks. This not 'back in the old days, when music was music.' This was 1978, Rock was just beginning to fizzle out, so New Wave groups were prepping up for MTV. Disco was a big thing. The style of this song is from the 40s, so it does have a more whimsical. elegant feel to it. Manhatten Transfer was turning into the best vocal jazz band on the planet, and I loved them! Swing on.

My mother always wore dresses like most ladies of that age. FYI I have friends and colleagues that are in the Pride umbrella and I fully support them as persons and their sexual and gender preferences.
