I love this footage from Top of the Pops. Dancing in the audience is a guy called Russel who used to dance with me in San Antonio, Ibiza way back in around 1968 I think. He said his Dad was a camera-man on Top of the Pops. Every Thursday after that me and my Mum would go "Russel spotting" to see if he was dancing in the show. No video recording equipment in those days! It was great to see him strut his stuff once again. If you are reading this Russel you may just remember me from that holiday in 1968-ish. Cheers from me Carol, the Scottish girl u used to dance with and no romance involved! ❤❤😂

It's so ashamed that in the US mainstream oldies leave so many gems like this off their playlists because they were not #1 or a top 5 or top 10 hits. It's a disservice to the public in not playing them. In the 70s before stations went corporate they did play this and I got my 45 around 1975 which I still have. Gems like this make my eyes watery now days. After Eddy Grant had "Electric Avenue" in 1983, interest in this song was revived and it got some airplay again.

@@rasichap It has the rhythm guitar "skank" playing the "ands" in "1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and" which is the trademark of ska. I don't know any ska with think drum beat, or that's quite so heavy-bass. Music categories only exist to help describe music, and we could describe this as basically a soul tune but with a ska skank on the guitar. If you made the skank more prominent, you'd start to have to call it soul-influenced ska, but since it's a bit low in the mix, I'd go with ska-influenced soul.
