I've always loved this video (to the extent of once searching around GglRth for the odd camera angles :-) )

Listening to this whilst working. I was so upset with Too Rye Aye I just never entertained this album. It’s not terrible, but also not convincing me yet. I’ll play it through….

#NowPlaying: 'Too-Rye-Ay' by Dexys Midnight Runners (1982 - 'As it should have sounded' 2022 Remaster).
A great blend of soul, pop, New Wave and folk. Owned this at release but lost it in the intervening 40 years. I can now appreciate what a great album this is.

Jackie Wilson Said (I’m In Heaven When You Smile)

On this day in 1986, Jackie Wilson was at #1 in the U.K. with his 1957 song ‘Reet Petite’. This unlikely success occurred two years after his death when it was used in a Levis commercial.
“Jackie Wilson said it was Reet Petite
Kind of Love You got
Knock me off my feet”

Probably better known for “Come on Eileen”, Dexy’s Midnight Runners first album remains a favourite in our house. “Searching for the young soul rebels”. Searching for a new soul vision. #nowPlaying #music #dexysmidnightrunners
