OMG I too have finally found it too, I thought it was anita ward, then I thought it was anita baker, jesus what was i thinking ! thanks for posting, but what was on the "B" side it was justa as good as this ...
always liked the song from the days but i always thoguht it called 'take it to the top'..It is let down by all that instrumental piece which is not needed, but great tune anyway.
This is such a superb song. Never get tired of listening to it. It probably ranks amongst my top 10 best songs of all time!!! I actually remember this performance from (Uk's) Top of the Pops way back when. Thanks for posting such a beautiful song and bringing back such lovely memories xxx
yeah,.this is my first time also to watch her though i have already heard her voice..she's good and beautiful..a good rendition of friends by mike francis and her song of knock on wood..nothing beats 80's and 90's...
remember this performance really well. always a great joy to see a natural performer gettin up there and obviously enjoying herself . good mover even if she's never gonna win a dance - off with michael jackson it's still good to watch. i'm betting she's just as beatiful today as she was 20yrs ago
I used to--and I think I still do--get this confused with Mike Francis' "Let Me In". Anyway, I sprained my ankle to this song out of over excitement, courtesy of the Mulatto band playing the song's intro when they were at Hard Rock Cafe Makati, Phils....some 12 years ago.
Certo che un ricordo a questo artista a Sanremo potevano anche farglielo !
Se ciò è avvenuto mi scuso con tutti ma se non fosse accaduto beh.. allora .........chissenefraga !
La sua musica mi ricorderà sempre fantastici momenti di allegra serenità ed i miei anni'80- nessun attimo della mia vita è invece abbinabile con ricordi a Sanremo!!
un miracolo questa canzone. quando la mettevano in disco per alcuni minuti sembrava di volare letteralmente nella pista sospesi a mezza'aria tra quelle stupende note. grazie mitico Mike. hai reso i miei anni 80 indimenticabili!
Ecco un'altra delle cose sbagliate che fa il Creatore, ha portato via un uomo che era la GIOIA di vivere e la raffinatezza, ancora negli anni più floridi...
La vita è fatta di immagini. Vedo me a ventanni felice che parlo in un microfono e mi sembra di parlare con il mondo. Sul piatto sfuma un pezzo di Mike Francis. Stasera ci siamo tutti, proprio tutti. Si va a ballare alla Ventiresima la discotecca più in del 1984 a Milano. E' un momento di felicità giovinezza vitalità ottimismo anche grazie alla tua bella musica. Addio e continua a suonare il pianoforte e a comporre in un'altra parte dell'universo
che bella canzone ciao francesco riposa in pace....cazzo non è giusto ci dobbiamo subire dei personaggi di merda fino a 100 anni e quelli che meritano se ne vanno subito
ti quoto in pieno. non avrai saputo esprimermi meglio.
Chissà forse i migliorei se ne vanno prima perchè meritano di vivere in un mondo migliore......lassù dove spero ci sia sempre una bellissima melodia!!!!
16 anni e un cagiva 125, la prima estate in discoteca di sera sino all'una, i primi amori, la spensieratezza e l'entusiasmo dell'adolescenza, degli anni più belli... sono trascorsi un mucchio di anni da allora, tanta vita è passata e tanti sogni sono svaniti ma le tue note desteranno sempre in me un fiume di ricordi riportandomi a quel periodo felice e spensierato. Grazie Francesco di vero cuore
This record went to number 1 in Italy if this is film there...more than likely the week she preformed the song it was in 17th position so it was more than likely moving up the charts. It also peaked at number 12 in the UK...
Its a shame. No matter how much money, investment, puplicity, MTV coverage that masquarade as music these days, they possesses no soul and imagination as this classic. We live in music poverty
I mean this as a compliment...she lip synchs very well here. You could almost feel she was singing :) Someone said the dance moves are strange, I don't think they are that unusual. There's something a little different mixed in with the usual swaying body moves, I like that individuality. She engages with the camera very well in this too. An example of this is the sudden sad look in her eyes with the sad harmony near the end as the camera moves away.
From an 80's perspective, this is superb. Always loved the song and the singer - She is ever inch the beautiful woman.
