Roll up roll up.. last song in my collection... one for al the broken-hearted lovers out there..

Loneliness is a crowded room
Full of open hearts turned to stone
All together all alone
All at once my whole world had changed
70s

See how we planned for saddened eyes
And tears to pave the way
I fought the fever as I knew
My hair returned to gray

Ok some more lyrics to my middle one

Someone taught Me how to dance last night
What a mover he was
And someone taught me how to do it right
What a groover he was
He taught me all the steps to do the rock n roll
I found my sense of rhythm but I lost my self control
When he said ........

Shiny is it Ooh la la la, lets go dancing, ooh la la la, reggae dancing?

shinynewapple2020 · 09/12/2020 23:12

No it's not that honey

SimplySteveRedux · 09/12/2020 23:18

Shiny, I believe the song's called "Dance Little Lady Dance" and was a favourite of my grandmother's (song I think is a similar age to me (77)). No clue who the artist is though.

Honeyroar · 09/12/2020 23:19

Lol, oh well at least I’m trying! I clearly have no idea what it is😄

Yes it is Steve. It's Tina Charles.

I'm feeling old now! I was about 12 when that came out!

SimplySteveRedux · 09/12/2020 23:44

That is I was born in 77, not I am 77! I see it actually came out in '76!

Are you guys on Facebook? Look up a page called New Wave Generation if you are. Some real music memories pop up daily.

@NeedToKnow101 /wave you reminded me how much I enjoy these threads and with a two week cancer precaution referral underway (unlikely, more likely to be MG/MS) I need to distraction and to come steal peoples' precious points!! GrinGrinXmas Grin
