Jimmy Sommerville (formerly of Bronski Beat) has an incredible falsetto, and he sounds great in his lower register as well, but he's famous for his falsetto. This is a remake of a classic song by the Jackson 5, and then as a disco version (which this one covers) by Gloria Gaynor, who had a huge hit with it also as a disco song.

Great reaction!!! Turned 21 in 1982; the best decade to be young and alive. Came home drunk after a night of partying and dancing and saw this video in a haze on MTV and LOVED IT! But, the only thing i could remember was that this was a great song to dance to and the singer had a funny shaped head. (I was in a haze after all) I could never find it anywhere.... BUT I FOUND IT HERE 40 YEARS LATER!!!!!!! I knew it instantly. My life has been made complete.

@lamusiclover2264 Год назад

I don't see anything particularly "queenie" about his dance moves. Yeah, he's openly gay but I just didn't see his performance as "queenie". I'm glad you liked it though. Check out Bronski Beat, his first group. The songs are about gay issues., and his solo albums (which are very hard to find in the US, they are imports) are VERY good. You can stream them though.

The coolest thing about The Communards is that one half of the duo is now not only an openly gay Anglican priest (Reverend Richard Coles), but is also really quite well known on UK TV and radio as a host/contributor. Probably the most famous TV priest in the UK today and an extremely clever and funny guy.

@Jessica_Roth Год назад

Just to clarify, Jimmy is gay, too. (Anybody wondering why they covered a Michael Jackson song is probably reaching, but it's not as if this is the first time someone wondered about Michael…)

@daniellegoldsmith9782 Год назад

Jimmy Sommerville is a vocal icon from two of the top gay bands of the 80s (Communards and Bronski Beat). He was also an icon for the gay community, as he was very open about his homosexuality and refused to hide any aspect of that. You'll note, he says, "I never can say goodbye, boy." This was HUGE back then. So many gay performers, like Elton John and George Michael hid their homosexuality for fear of backlash. (Of course, things were much different for Elton than George Michael, being that he started performing in the early 70s. Obviously, they both eventually came out.) Sommerville kind of paved the way for other gay artists to come out and was a trailblazer in the LGBTQ community in that and many other ways. I have great respect for him. And yeah ... when any Jimmy Sommerville song came on in the club, the dance floor was instantly packed. LOL. Great tune. Listen to more. Just pick anything. They're all great.

@richardhodgson6711 Год назад

Originally written for The Supremes (although sadly not recorded by them), the honour of actually first performing and recording this song went to the Jackson 5 (1971). In 1974, Gloria Gaynor recorded a version which is arguably the best known and most popular, and then in 1987, the Communards came along and covered it, putting their own stamp on it, the result being a staple of late 80s school discos here in the UK

Right, I immediately thought of Gloria Gaynor, but she so owned that song that I forgot The Jackson Five had done it before her.

@SWLinPHX Год назад

Yes, they really need to listen to the Motown hit. This is more of one of those 80's tributes in the same vein as "Lay All Your Love On Me", "Baby I Love Your Way/Freebird", etc. But it is not what I consider an 80's song by any means, just because of the dance beat and synth. "Tainted Love" on the other hand was a huge hit and not as successful originally and Softcell made it their own.

@BadlndsBob Год назад

@@SWLinPHX Yes, they should react to the Jackson 5 version.

I’m loving watching you both listen to songs. Love your smiles and joy. I’m 57 so was there when Jimmy Sommerville of the Communards was doing his thing. This might be one of the weaker of his songs, he’s done so many great ones - check out his earlier work in ‘Bronski Beat’. He was so important in challenging 1980’s homophobia in the UK. Keep the smiles and tunes coming - such a great antidote to a busy day. Thank you ❤

@giuseppesorrenti3172 Год назад

Finally you listened to the wonderful Jimmy Somerville, the lead singer. Keep checking his performances with The Communards and his former group, Bronski Beat, please. Some suggestions: "It ain't necessarily so", "Smalltown boy", "Why?" by Bronski Beat, "Don't leave me this way", "Disenchanted", "Tomorrow", "So cold the night", "For a friend" by The Communards.

@evanbirnholz2803 Год назад

Yes, all of the above. Disenchanted is a must as is Smalltown Boy. For a Friend is a ballad about losing someone to AIDS, which many, myself included, experienced too many times in the 80s. Tomorrow is another very powerful ballad about leaving an abuse relationship. There is a line that sends shivers down my back whenever I hear it "You may break the skin but you can't kill the soul. I've had all I can take."

You guys promote “making someone smile”. I typically try to follow your lead. Today, my husband and I went to Home Depot. Inside we saw a family with their very young son and his golden doodle puppy. The puppy was so excited to experience Home Depot with the family. We smiled. Outside, we passed a man loading wood to a cart. His toddler daughter yelled “I love you Daddy!”. Then she yelled to his partner, “I love you Daddy”! Made my husband and I smile big time!

@kf9346 Год назад

I STRONGLY recommend "Small Town Boy," Bronski Beat. I think it was Jimmy Sommerville's first hit and stamped his voice on the 80s. It is also a pivotal song because it is about a boy growing up gay in a small town who is bullied and has to leave for the city--it was a big deal at the time to sing about this topic openly and not via inuendo and code. A big song and group for the gay liberation movement.

@msbeaverhausen7226 Год назад

Amber is so right-I lived my best life dancing to Jimmy Sommerville’s voice, whether it was him in Bronski Beat or w/The Communards, lots of late nights, sweating up a storm on the dancefloor! This is a remake of a disco song, many disco songs were remade w/new synth versions on them, like the KC & The Sunshine Band’s 70’s version of “That’s The Way I Like It” to the 80’s cover of the same song by Dead or Alive. Those of us who were clubbing in the 80’s, had grown up w/the originals, so it usually was a guaranteed hit when there were new remakes released.

@ellenb2498 Год назад

I had a couple of their cds, I probably still do have them somewhere. A friend came back from a semester in London in 1985 and brought back a cassette of what was on the radio over there, so I was introduced to the Communards. Love their energy and that falsetto! I sang Don't Leave Me This Way at a very early karaoke night, expecting the Thelma Houston version and ended up singing way up with Jimmy Sommerville. It was a challenge! Even that attempt pulled people onto their little dance floor. It's so much fun.

Fact.... Richard Coles (the guy with the metal round rimmed glasses) started life as a chorister. He then moved to London to work as a session musician in theatre. In 1983, Richard joined pop group Bronski Beat as a sax player where he met Jimmy Somerville. The following year, Jimmy and Richard left to form The Communards.

You gotta hear the original by the Jackson 5

One of my favourite bangers from the Eighties. This was HUGE on its release and it filled the dancefloors all over the UK in its heyday. Great video too, a real feel good dance track. Try Don't Leave Me This Way and Jimmy (the lead singer) previous group Bronski Beat. 👍

Jimmy Sommerville! Good musician, great hits and he never hide himself!

@happymethehappyone8300 Год назад

A MUST HEAR classic feel good smooth groove,, The Blackbyrds "Walking In Rhythm"...TRUST ME!!

@steves9905 Год назад

man it was life, the gay clubs of the mid/late 80's and the dancing...an escape from some truly bad things going on for our community back then. it didn't solve any problems, but gave us the ability to recharge to face the next day's problems

I think the next Communards song should be Don't Leave Me This Way

@kevanwillis4571 Год назад

'Don't leave me this way.' is a must!

It is Pride. Small-town Boy and Why.

@scaljas Год назад

I am so happy you guys discovered this song and that you like it. It was one of my faves back in the day - and you’re right - clubland in the 80s was a special place. If singer’s voice intrigued you (Jimmy Somerville) give his other 80s classics a try. I’d suggest “Why?” and “Smalltown Boy,” both with Bronski Beat. Either is a good choice for Pride month, also.

@valyribroder7458 Год назад

I also spent my youth in clubs in the 80s, and I agree! I would also recommend Bronski Beat- Hit That Perfect Beat

@Cindrbell Год назад

This is a 70s song.

@billmittenzwey3021 Год назад

yeah, Hit That Perfect Beat is more what i’d think of from him. for this song, i’d just stick with the Gloria Gaynor version

@annother3350 Год назад

Smalltown Boy is the one for me

As Synth pop is my era growing up i must suggest a few here. Ultravox - Vienna, Visage - Fade to grey, Kraftwerk - The Model, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Maid of Orleans & Enola Gay, Tubeway Army - Are Friends Electric, Gary Numan - I Die You Die & We are Glass, Blancmange - Living on the Ceiling & Blind Vision all of which were massive hits when i was younger.

@Dej24601 Год назад

Love it! Is sort of a combo of Michael Jackson singing it in his high voice when he was young, with Gloria Gaynor’s disco-like version. Is one of those songs that forces you to get up and move!

He also covered I Feel Love, with Marc Almond, which was a bit of a showcase for both their talents. 😊

You two really can chair dance lovely couple god bless from Glasgow Scotland where the lead singer comes from

@davebirch1976 Год назад

The singer, Jimmy Somerville, also did some solo stuff in the late 80s early 90s, "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" from 1989 is amazing, and "To Love Somebody" is another one worth listening to.

I first heard Jimmy Sommerville on the Red, Hot and Blue album for AIDS awareness. This was a great album where various artists did their takes on Cole Porter songs. I loved Jimmy''s version of "From this Moment On" and Erasure's "Too Darn Hot." I highly recommend this album to anyone who hasn't heard it.

J/A, The Jackson 5's version is the best version of this song, followed by the songwriter (Clifton Davis) ! The Jackson 5's original was recorded June1970, released March 1971. Michael was 11 at the time of the recording and his vocals were AMAZING!!!
