Swing Out Sister
September 18, 2020
I've liked this band ( duo actually ) since the first time I saw this video on the UHF video channel because we didn't have cable. Corinne Drewery is not like today's squeaky singers, she can hit the high notes, and the low ones too - listen. This was their first and biggest hit.
I remember when she sweeps her hand across the screen, the video went from black-and-white to color. This is entirely black-and-white.
No lip-syncing for this one, she hits every note every time, live. With Level 42 as a backup band !!! That's two great jazz-pop outfits that got very little airplay back in the day. Now I hear them at the supermarket. The audio sync is a little off towards the end.
The band's original bass player was the keyboard player's left hand, as the old joke goes. Mark King is much better.
