I was privilaged to see Edwin sing this song live at the Leamington Spa Centre twice.Best vocalist male I have heard ,but more than that was his radiant stage presence and friendliness to the audiance.When he wasnt singing he was smiling.God bless you Edwin
So underrated. Met him once at a "Party in the Park" gig and he signed my plastercast - I saw him again about three months later at Asda Supermarket in Tamworth (near where he lived) and he said "i see your arms got better then mate" What a legend - R.I.P Edwin ! You are missed !!!
Finaly I find this song. At last. I have searched for it during some years now. Didn't remember the name of the song. Just remember that it was in 79. Fabulous. A classic.
Great song. I was lucky enough to see Edwin in concert a few years ago. He had more energy and enthusiasm than any of today's artists. Fantastic performer.
Just realised he probably did this video totally off the cuff for Top Of The Pops. It's fucking excellent and actually reminds me of how much work people in radio put into live shows to keep you lit during the day! Love it as I used to work in radio and it was the best job I ever had.
Man, I love this song! What a freakin' amazing feel good song! Great energy too! Still sounds amazing 31 years later. It makes me wonder why my local radio station music director, at the time, would turn down a song like this. RIP Edwin.
ryanfrombrum.. couldn't agree more! I met Edwin on a number of occassions, he sat and had a drink with us, pulled me up on stage to dance.. I will never ever forget him, what a legend and an amazing man!
I remember my friend Anthony riding up with a brand new 10 speed bike that had a radio on it in the summmer of 1979...this song was on...I loved it ever since...Disco is and was the best music ever !!
I was in a happy mood, so I sought out this song; hadn't heard it since 1979 but never forgot it! I can imagine that even if you are not in a happy mood, this might just put you there :)
Glad to see you again, I haven't seen you since I don't know when (don't know when), we are the Aris-to-crat of Bands and we are the Best Band (Best Band) Best Band in the laaand! Thanks for the tune, Edwin.
love this song, brings back such memories. wish he did more Disco. it was such a happy music, forget the problems, dance, look good and enjoy. No such music ever since. We need disco and the gifts it brings now more than ever. a bit of escape for reality. Just sing, dance and look good if even for a few moments, it's healing.
This song is also the intro to my favorite radio station's Morning Show in Erie, PA..you should check 'em out they're awesome!!..WEHP 92.7 aka Happi927 HD
We should play this in places where depression lingers Edwin will cure the minds of all who are looking for a natural high
