[KingKennyRules]

@UKRaver1956.....big up ya mate...remember, NEVER too old to rave me old china.......by the way Elizabeth you were fantastic on that stage at 16 at the Hacienda (hahahaha, yes, I remember you baby)......what are you doing now chick???

[UKRaver1956]

I'll be 55 years old in a couple months from now, so i've heard a lot of different kinds of music over the decades, During that time, there have been very few tracks that have got me running to the dance floor and they have been mainly from the late 1980s or early 1990s. This is one of those tracks, it's sounds as good today as it did 20 years ago and will still sound good long after I've expired. An Absolute Classic Dance Track !! Many thanks for posting :-)

[spikeyisland70]

@UKRaver1956 So so true - 89-91 the best era for dance music - Death to Cascada and David Guetta!!! :))

[tachyon1979]

Gotta love the dance moves, specifically the footwork. I grew up to this

music and still do the same moves at clubs and raves.

[turthtalker]

Always thought that was her that sung it,Sally Ann Marsh was on kids tv for years.

[spook1916]

classic tune classic stone island jacket

[michael6mac]

Just hearing this track makes me want to jump up and down after 20 years! ;)

[jtballnuts]

WE NEED OLD SKOOL BACK!!

[killerkar1m]

this is where underground rave seen was raped by commercial money hungry bas####s!!

[mcavity28]

is that keyboard player wearing stone island?

[dallman2000bc]

I remember watching this when it first came on TOTPS

I was 4 years old and i still remember.

Damn where does the time go?

LOL

[taffythesheep]

Crikey was this song out nearly 20 years ago.God i suddenly feel old.Classic.

[oODJFriendlyOo]

Thank you for the vid. Sweet

[BB0Y4Lyfe]

Thank you MC Hammer bc you know they borrowed the one or two moves they do from im and the haircuts as well..

[gilboandco27]

NO ONE! On this video had anything to do with this classic track apart from the keyboard player Richard Goldman 'alias' Richey Malone, Martin Spreakley who wrote it, and doesn't appear here. The real vocalist was Lizzy 'D' Henderson. This girl fronting is 'Sally Ann Marsh' a would be actor, that jumped in at the last minute, because contracts weren't signed as should have been. Gilbo Synchronise Studios. Manager at the time, who got ripped off big time by the record company and his partner.

[tommorse23]

[JonMcElectro]

The 1995 Remix sounded more less the same than this 1991 version.

[kevy06]

I never understood why america has such a poor taste in music, to ignore the real professional Electronica scene as well as UK Alternative/indie music which is vastly superior to theirs

[fanitfickie]

wow danced to this a few times great tune.

[fanitfickie]

wow danced to this a few times great tune

[fanitfickie]

wow danced to yhis a few times great tune

[djultraful]

Dj Posting again from america i comented on this Tune before and agree with all of you brothers its such a Legend of a tune in clubland probably among one the best ever club tunes recorded and it sounds so timeless was ahead of its time when it was released. A classic for now and the future please bring this music back as todays music does not even come close.

[wem77777]

Loving it

[Babania1]

wicked tune!!! from a great era!so glad I lived through them times!

[stupove]

what a tune and what a time it was... special..

[timHYPERLITE]

[despilgrim]

nice early SI he had on !!!

[glittapuss]

That was my fave eccy song. Never failed to go off to this one. Still got the original vinyl. Love it.

[villasotc82]

still gives me goose bumps :)

[matrix2004]

@beepollen1 alot of the best Rave music comes from the UK and other places in Europe. Its a shame that the U.S. never accepted this music in the mainstream. Still today, this music is only in the clubs. Sad. All my favorite music artists are from Europe.

[InternalStandard]

great tune :)

[djangiebaby]

class tune :):)

[martoman75]

fucking hell. i remember watching this on TOTP. almost 20 years ago!! seems hard to believe.

[DamhRoz]

cannot believe this song is nearly 20 yrs old!

[mfgrety332]

what happened to top of the pops? Tennagers have got it bad nowadays, they're all running around stabbing each other.

[jsward007]

When I first heard this tune it was dancing in a club called joy in aberdeen when i was dancing with this scorching hot girl . It was very memorable for me and ever sinse ive always loved this tune :)

[gilboandco27]

It may interest you that this girl is NOT the singer of this track. She is miming to it only, her name is Sally Ann Marsh a small-time actor at the time. The real singer is Lizzy D, or Lizzy Henderson from Basildon Essex. She was ripped off by the record company's.

[TECHNORAVE10s]

techno-rave tune

nice!

[djultraful]

Posting from America !! I spun this trek new year, Absolute Legendary Classic i always play this in my set and always will its a Timeless Trek that was musically way ahead of its time.

MMM Move Your Body MM Move your Body Hi er Love it. Timelessssssssssssssssssssssss

[FMT27]

fresh moves.

[mslilrochy]

real ravers music :)

[mslilrochy]

Sick tune!!!

[MrSmiles1981]

I can confirm Crassybopper is correct.

The DJ Spreckley was a chef in my local Harvester (where my wife still works)for a good few years. I also LOVE this tune and ask him about it all the time!

[crassybopper]

Thanks MrSmiles. I met all the people who worked on that track: Marco Cardarelli, Martin Spreckley and Lizzy D.. in the studio it was recorded which was named after one of my own dance tracks. Elevation is an amazing track, and hard to top after that but I did work on a follow up for Lizzy which never came off. It has to be said tho, credit must go to Marco for his great keyboard and production work. Very talented guy he is.

[gilboandco27]

Hi crassybopper, you must know me too then, because I owned Synchronise Music Studio in Tottenham Hale, North London with Rob Cardarelli. I paid Marco's wages ha! Did you work on Gimmi your love track, that we did the final mix at Salm studio London. What I'm trying to say is who are you? Thanks. Jim Gilbert, director of Synchronise Studio at the time.

[crassybopper]

The one who the name of the studio came from... before you came along I guess!

[theghosttrialer]

i am 15 years old and have just discoverd

90's dance music and what a time for music and this one of the best songs i have heard

[Voyagerwarp9]

M8 this is a proper 90's tune!! unlucky you missed out :-)

[theghosttrialer]

i am going to build a time machine

[Voyagerwarp9]

@theghosttrialer dont it just take you straight back!!!

[TheNaomiengland]

@theghosttrialer Rave music was a lot of fun I miss the raves

[leigh266]

@TheNaomiengland

someone shud grab the bull and bring it back!!!!!

[dsdffdsfdsdsffsd]

@theghosttrialer listen to the club mix for this song to get the full effect of this song, there's a subtle difference in the vocal sample and the beat is more pronounced. definitely work checking out...

[romainlg]

@theghosttrialer  totallly right! one of the best song too for me!

[StephenSuttie1974]

95 remix came out of this.

I got it on vinyl.

Tony De Vit mix.

Kool World mix

and Blu Peter mix.

[iggyrs]

nice stone island coat..

[245thegreat]

whoa look at those dance moves.. would be good to bust out like that now lol

[djultraful]

Posting from United States ! This is a Absolute classic dance trek one of the best ever made for sure they don't make treks like this today way ahead of its time ( Legendary ) mmm move your body

[StephenSuttie1974]

This was rave shite.

Proper house took a tumble after Acid house, then came straight back to form in 1993/94 with the clubbing generation.

And to add Prodigy got there shit sorted with the album Music For The Gilted generation.

[dhollseed]

agreed

[StephenSuttie1974]

How the fuck can you agree with that?

I dont know what im talking about to be prefectly honest.

Look, from around 90 to 93 i was into the Top 40/Chart rave stuff.

Once Pete Tong launched his BBC radion one show in 93, then I began to listen to "House" Comercial/ underground etc.

I have never been to a rave in my life.

I prefered the indoor clubbin sort with nice clothes n shit.

So then thats that.

From 88 too 93 I really dont know.

[StephenSuttie1974]

And I dont think the Deep Heat/Thin Ice and Now Dance compilations I bought from 88 to 92 were really proper underground house/rave.

[StephenSuttie1974]

Lots and lots of people only talk about the real early stuff. 88 - 93.

I think to myself when people will begin to realise what good tunage there was to be had in the mid too late 90s house scene.

Beatles syndrome I think.

For rock its the Beatles.

Maybe for house as time goes on it will always be the 88 -93 house.

[crassybopper]

Brings back memories! It sounds great - that girl was chosen when she did a spots TV ad but she never sang a note on this track - the real singer was Lizzie D. But great dancine tho.

[aou722]

i can't believe that this song was on top of the pop. it was such a massive club tune in the early 90s.

[inkybinky]

says it all about the UK and how forward we are with new music, and how open we are to new ideas in music..

TOTP with a single line and a killer hook. and behind the scenes 10000s of people discovering pills for the first time.

beautiful.

[wollyjumper9]

Fucking Great! Disco Biscuit anyone?

[youraganster55]

I would love to see more music like this...the music these days will never compare to this..

[dupont94]

Used to dance to this at Tracks in DC and Charades in Va Beach. Great memories. Thanks for posting!

[dpeterk]

Damn, I used to go to Tracks all the time in 1989-93.

[innit27]

[djultraful]

Absolute quality for sure its the best dance trek ever made i wish we had music like this again ! it pisses all over today's dance music its a Legendary timeless classic for sure, and im a pro DJ in no.

I would buy a ticket to this music for sure absolute claaaaaaass.

I just wish Dance music like this would come back.

[hedgewitchuk]

I totally agree with you!

[qprdave67]

[kristianjoneid]

just an awesome track love it love it love it thank you for shareing with us xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[jasonc39]

blimey, remember seein this on TOTP all them years back. doesnt seem all that long ago now. remember reading in Smash Hits magazine that Sally Anne Marsh wasnt actually singing to this.

[lilandoz]

would you be able to sing to any tune, whiilst jumping about throwing shapes LOL

[pekkerop]

classic!! i´ve moved my body to this since 1991

[EarlERizer]

Great upload Robert, a true classic of the oldskool ,major floor filler n crowd pleaser! those were the days eh!

[DJGatecrasher]

Classic then, total classic anthem now! Drop this on the wheel of steel and the dancefloor fills! Brilliant track, never gets old. "Move your body higher, higher, hi-hi-higher!"

[Davies4210]

The girl on TOTP didnt sing on the actual song. The girl on TOTP was in a band called Faith Hope and Charity wihich included a young Dani Behr.

[digimuso]

Get it right m8! The girl in this vid is called Sally Ann Marsh. Yes she was in the group Faith Hope & Charity but she DID do the vocals for this Xpansions track!

[crassybopper]

You were in the studio were you? You got it wrong m8y - she never sang one note on this track.

[digimuso]

No I wasn't but she is a friend of mine and I know more than you, you cock! She did sing it

[crassybopper]

Okay. Here's your starter for 10. What studio did this friend of yours sing it in then? :)

[crackerpot100]

sorry he is right mate. Sally Ann Marsh was the vocalist on this track

[crassybopper]

Sorry to correct you as well, but it's Lizzy D on this track. Marco Cardarelli wrote it and played the instruments and produced and engineered it. The pretty young lady on this excellent TOTP performance then fronted Xpansions. Lizzy D's vocals.

[crassybopper]

Amazed how you those who don't know assume the role of an expert suddenly. You and your misinformed pal were clearly never near the recording sessions, so no one called Sally Ann Marsh was present....

[crassybopper]

... Vocals were recorded by a young girl called Lizzy D from the Basildon area (prolly brought in by Martin Spreckley) who sang this song brilliantly. You can hear her on this track - the guys in this TOTP performance including the girl from the spot tv ad who is prolly your Sally person, is only miming. I'm not saying she is not a singer, but she was NEVER the singer of this track. I hope you understand... that I WAS there!

[kgovey]

crassybopper your right she is miming -

I went to school with Spreckley in Basildon, nice bloke. I remember that Malone got all the credit for the track when Martin wrote most of the song, so he ended up taking Malone and Arista to court to get what he was owed.

I can't remember but I am sure he won the court case. I always wondered what happended to him after that, does anyone know if he went on to record more records or did he just disapear to become yet another one hit wonder?

[crassybopper]

Thanks for posting kgovey. Being there during the court case was a nightmare the time at the studio and it caused alot of problems... all from one person... hope Martin Spreckley didn't get too scarred by the 'music' business. He was a nice chap.

[gilboandco27]

Hi again, Martin Spreckley is a nice guy, I'm still in-touch with him all the time. Jim.

[dukes007]

All about that piano riff!!!

[mcgraphics50]

Well done for capturing this piece of history. So many memories are flooding back!!! Thank you!

[Prototypeuk]

Does anyone know if this is the real girl that sung this song?? I heard the girl who did sing it was only 14 so wasnt allowed to perform on TOTP's to the words 'Move ur Body'

[pokemon169]

hi would you be abe to send me a copy of alll the totp eps you have ?

[gigabyte022]

simply wicked!nowa days no type of these dancin and music cherres from malta....

[mickeytipp]

Cheers for adding this mate. I have tons of TOTP archive stuff on VHS & DVD but can't figure out how to upload it.

[Prototypeuk]

You need an analogue capture card to record it onto your pc and alot of time :)

[insidestoryuk]

ill second that, brings back memories though i was 9!!

[artvandelay1]

Love this performance, great dance moves!
