Speaking of Human League, here is one of my fav Heaven 17 songs. Come Live With Me and that's not and offer if you were wondering 

Oh Christ, just played Alexander O neil Criticize

Am listening to it now but it's proper hard to chair dance with this feckin heartburn

EC - I love some of Heaven 17 stuff.

Yes!  And..........YES!  Fancy seeing you here, Croc.

And do you remember Steve Walsh as well?  Remember his version of this:




And some more of my faves:

LOL Croc, I remember DLT doing a 'misheard lyrics' thing on his radio show. I'll never forget someone phoning/writing in and saying when they heard the Blondie version they though it was 'Beneath the knees'

Isadora - I knew you had taste.

I have that Shirley brown track on my Ipod

A couple from Carla Thomas...



And with Otis....ignore the vid...the sound quality is the best i could find...

No Karma, I'm from just outside Birmingham and my big regret is that I didn't get to do the London clubs like Ministry or Astoria.  Mostly for me it was Faces at Five Ways, Peppermint Place also at Five Ways, both have gone now, Millionaire's in the City Centre and the Dome when that opened in '85.  In fact all the club's I mentioned here have all gone now, shame really as they were good back in the day.  Used to go to the Nightingale as well occasionally

Millionaire's used to stay open until 4am on the Super Prix weekends when we had them in the '80's and it used to be great coming out of there, head buzzing and seeing it was almost daylight!!

OH blimey...did you used to go to Flicks????

Steve Walsh died didn't he??

Gwen Dickey.  She's still gigging now - sometimes with The Souled Out Band.
Still got that gorgeous voice and still looks the same now!

Awwww. You not got any mints? or sometimes drinking milk helps?

The Steve Walsh version of "I've found loving"  You wot, you wot, you wot etc......  

I love the 80's electronic stuff

OMG...just found Second Image who also used to play Flicks regularly....one of them ASKED ME OUT...but I said no!!

Here is a bit of a change of pace from me.

One song which I can not listen to when anyone is around is Roberta Flack - First Time Ever I saw Your Face.

It's not pretty seeing a grown man cry - this song has me welling up without fail.

BTW, could not listen to it, just upped the link..

 
And   He died sometime in the mid to late 80's I think.
I used to love Emporer Rosko;  his NYE shows were beyond fabulous.  Saw him at Bromley Tech and also at the Radio One Club (showing my age!) -  I won't say who the live band were or I'll pre date Noah and his ark!  Let's just say they let kids in if accompanied by an adult........

Anyone remember this one?  I loved it back in the day ~ wonder what happened to him?

Me too Isadora. Very much an 80's boy.

Yeah I just checked...he died in 1988....

I started going to Flicks when it first opened which was in March/April 1979....just before I left school...we used to go 3/4 nights a week when we weren't up the Old Kent Road.

We may have known each other!

Where'd you dig him out from PINK BABE...?!!!!  I'd forgotten that I remembered him.

Here's some wiki stuff:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Wilde

Dartford Football Club Thursday/Sunday discos circa 1978!

I "LIVED" in the Old Kent Road at weekends.  Always started off in the 'Beckett and then used to dip into the Frog & Nightgown, The Dun Cow (it's a doctor's surgery now!) and the Green Man.  A mate had the Prince of Wales just off of the main drag - and I did a few shifts behind the bar in the Henry Cooper for while.

  Big small world, innit?

Ok Ms Pengy! if we're playin that game.......

The Name Eugene meant nothing to me but the song i definitely remember!

This one a DJ "friend" taped for me and was never off my car stereo back in around '87/'88.

We used to mainly go to the Kentish Drovers...

I remember trying to 'steal' a car from the drive though MacDonalds...as the bloke got out the drivers side in jumped in the passenger door abd started the engine...but then in my drunken stupour remembered i couldn't drive...the bloke saw the funny side though.

Cosmo - Fatback Band Classssic! Teena Marie Portuguese Love is a KILLER

This has to be done..

This one has special meaning for my mum, she used to play this song just after she had me.
