Disco Friday...

 

A few years before "A Night To Remember", the tune that most people know them for, Shalamar released a bona fide disco classic in "Take That To The Bank". Released in 1978 it reached the Top 20 in the UK and pretty much became the blueprint for the Solar label.
Would like to have written a bit more this morning but I have some body popping to do before heading to work...
Most people associate the moonwalk with a certain Mr Jackson, but it was in fact a certain Mr Jeffrey Daniel who performed it initially in 1982 on TOTP when Shalamar were on the show...

    The "Art of the Dance" - thanks for posting the video to accompany your post, Scott. I love Shalamar. My favourite track is 'The Second Time Around', a #1 hit for the group (here in North America) in 1979.

    Hi Marie, very underrated band. The video was for any uninitiated out there who were not aware of the joy of body popping...

    I for one am not aware of the association of the word JOY and BODY-POPPING. I'm not saure I've ever body-popped in my life.....

    You should try it George. Although I hadn't tried it for over 30 years and think I may have done myself and injury. Big difference trying it at 13 and trying it again at 45!!
