At least they game Corinne a little more backup in this 'live' appearance on Top of the Pops. They gave her a backup singer(sic) who I never have seen since (lol), a trumpet player(holder) (sic) who I have never seen since and I think I saw Martin Jackson, the original drummer who exited stage left after 'It's Better to Travel'.
Great fun all in all. Thanks for posting it. To Corinne.......I Surrender.
The STUFF GUN MIX of this song is simply fantastic. It expands the album track! I vividly remember when it was played at a Rio de Janeiro nightclub called ZIIG-ZAAG around 1987 (it was demolished in the early 90's). Although it wasn't a number one, it was a wild number. I wish dance music today was somewhere near close as this.
I like the way Corinne's solo backup singer keeps in sync with her on all her arm movement, quarter turns, dance steps, etc. Great video - thanks for posting!
@OlymPigs2010 Andy Connell was and is the talent in this band...he was in ACR before this (as was Corinne briefly). That's when he must've honed his skills.
@gadzoox1234 - Corinne was and "Is" the "Star" and her vocals define and make SOS the success its been - whereas Andy is easily & quickly "Replacable" - he has No special talents as a keyboardist or in anything else musical! Corinne and O'Duffy were the perfect songwriting pair and Corinne's vocals and her "looks" turned SOS into an international hit!
@OlymPigs2010 I'm afraid you will have to research who actually wrote the songs..I presume (but don't actually know - unlike you seem to) all the songs were written as demos and then produced to the hilt by O'Duffy in the studio. It states that the writers were the band and they have subsequently written other albums without O'Duffy or Martin Jackson so unless Corinne is a musical genius - i oubt it
@gadzoox1234 - so I guess what you're saying is that Corinne could have just stayed home and Andy would have succeeded without her and her vocals in his concerts and in recordings? Not likely! But the reverse of course is completely True - Corinne is SOS and her "image & vocals" are their success - and that is definitely not dependant on some medicore,dime-a-dozen keyboard player!
@OlymPigs2010 OK mate are you Corinne's agent or current boyfriend...did she dump Mr Connell and/or you, lol? I doubt if she contributed much to the actual songs and since when has music been about image or vocals ? Try telling that to Beethoven, Bach, Strauss et al
The 12" Stuff Gun Disco Mix played a lot in a nightclub (Ziig-Zaag) over here in Rio around 1987/88. Fucking awsome piano and trumpet solos and drum fills in that mix! Andy Connel is genius.
Wow... this video is priceless. Thanks for posting. Corine is, as usual, so beautiful.... and Andy is so thin!! This is one of the best 80's disco songs.
amazing amazing SOS for life!

What I wanted to say without being offensive was that the trumpet player looked a bit like Ricky Tomlinson
