Was happy to pick this single up for less than a £1 in a charity shop recently. (Anything under a £1 is good going in charity shops nowadays it seems - who do they think they are?).<BR/><BR/>(I've been enjoying Minnie - glad Gloria complemented your holiday).Darcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16374469353415719429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-86738884262511699452008-08-24T15:42:00.000+01:002008-08-24T15:42:00.000+01:00Now it must be 30+ years since I even thought of t...Now it must be 30+ years since I even thought of that song.....and I remembere every word of that chorus.<BR/><BR/>Shows how much I listened to the radio even as a nipper....JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090608248723528292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-57951636228194248972008-08-23T19:51:00.000+01:002008-08-23T19:51:00.000+01:00Oh, that's such a great tune.

"Smarty Pants" is another tune, though it took me a while to warm to it. And "Let No Man Put Asunder" from their disco period.<BR/><BR/>Good point by planet mondo with the Three Degrees reference -- both acts were Philly soul representatives, and were a female trio.CTVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775874319624381020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-81038066293397537402008-08-23T11:10:00.000+01:002008-08-23T11:10:00.000+01:00The Collins Gem Book Of Insects!!
