SPANDAUISM, DAY 3

This is a slightly significant day in the house (it’s the seventh anniversary of my ordination) so all I have today a link to a cached BBC site wherein you can learn that Spandau Ballet’s biggest hit, ‘True,’ was an attempt to sound more like Al Green or Marvin Gaye.

Really?

  1. Thanks to your link, I discovered that there’s a direct connection between the mid-70s soul classic “Rock Your Baby” and, of all songs, “Dancing Queen.”

    And as I compare the two on iTunes… yeah, they’re frighteningly similar.
