This week we go back to the disco beat with a tune by Phil Fearon and Galaxy called Dancing Tight.  Born in Jamaica in 1956, Fearon moved to London when he was 5 and eventually set up a recording studio in his North London house.  Together with backing singers, Julie and Dorothy, he had his first hit with this record, reaching no. 4 in the UK  in 1983 (according to Wiki).  However, the video below says 1984 and was probably taken from the UK’s infamous Top of the Pops TV programme.   I’m not sure if he made it in the States, but he did have 2 other UK Top 10 hits ‘Do What I Do’ and ‘Everybody’s Laughing’ (the video for which is worth watching in itself).

Don’t miss the forward flip half way through the song.  Impressive or what!?

    Two thumbs up, way up. His vocals remind me of Al Jarreau a lot. Dancing Tight is a tight little number.

          Yes, it takes me back to those disco years, when I was growing up. Not that I’ve ever grown up really (thankfully) !😊

          Our souls never age, time is a man-made construct and the corporeal body is the only thing that weathers…

          I don’t think I’ll ever be more than 18, maybe 21 max. Though I have learnt a lot on my journey to ‘old age’. 😏

          I’m not sure where I’m at, it’s in flux, I’m afraid. Which can be a problem at times….

          Yes, I can see that. But stay strong and I’m sure you will be fine.

          It scares me what people can see. Or maybe it’s just you. Makes me feel too vulnerable. Makes me want to stop writing. Sometimes I wish I could be impenetrable, I used to be long ago, then someone melted my walls.

          People only see what you tell them or open up to. You are not vulnerable (not on WordPress anyway). There are many people who will enjoy reading what you write, so keep doing that and you will see. Walls are not what you need, I think it’s warmth, feedback or interaction and affection.

          I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that last thing. I was told not to. I am vulnerable on WordPress, people can hack into my account, my own son has proven that. Either I quit writing or write things that don’t really matter.

          That’s OK. I have emailed you saying more or less the same thing. But you should still write about what interests you, or your experiences. (That last post was very good btw). There are people who would empathise with your situation or what you say. Take care.
