Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich - Staying With It

Rare 1983 single from the successful 1960's pop group. This song was a revelation when I first heard it, I couldn't believe my ears. I have a TV performance of this track, I think it's on The Keith Harris Show on DVD but my technical capabilities have prevented me from uploading!

Thanks for uploading this. This was their unsuccessful attempt for a come back in 1983. Nevertheless, I really love this FM rock sound they have adopted for this song, and I cant understand why this didnt work for them, since radios were playing this kind of music at that time.

@Stasi78 I can't believe that most DDDBM&T fans don't know this track.

@aliveinsound The funny thing is that, in my case, I came to know the band's 60s career by listening to this song first. I have it on a "Best of 80s" compilation that i bought many many years ago.

@Stasi78 That's not so strange because I'm not actually into their 60's output and this is the only one that caught my attention.

Never heard this before. Amazing that it wasn't a hit given all the other similar stuff around at the time. I like this sound anyway so to hear DDBMT singing it is a revelation! Loved their 60s music, began my pop education with them. RIP DD xx

@Stasi78 Yes, I also prefer this song rather than their 60s stuff. Have you listened to the original by Firefall?
