Ali Thomson - Take A Little Rhythm (1980)

[@ZaneGrey-l3c]

Always. Liked. This. Song. Still. Sounds. Great. Today. Love. The. 80s

[@nikkisanford1233]

One of the greatest tunes of all time - they don't make them like this anymore!!🎶

[@markv3547]

Nope!

[@marshalllancaster2314]

Right, not even close

[@lottoticketlaz893]

No, they make em a lot better!! lol, just kidding, I searched and found it. God the memories flood back huh? KEEP SMILING- Laz

[@johnwilson2456]

I hadn't heard this tune for decades until this past weekend I heard it on the radio. All this time I thought it was Paul McCartney. I love this tune.

[@richardherbst8081]

Awesome to find a tune that was forgotten for many years but after a few notes it all floods back!

[@AnneMarieBibby1966]

Funny how that happens, it can be decades and in a snap we know every word.

[@christopherpope3415]

This was a big A/C hit that played throughout the summer of 1980 and had a fairly strong Top 40 chart cross as well. It just got "lost" from the air though once it peaked and seemed gone for good within a year or so.

[@marshalllancaster2314]

Magical song

[@jamesleone5468]

Memories of summer 1980

[@rogers7116]

It's amazing how certain songs can immediately transport you back to a specific time and place. Summer 1980. I had just graduated from high school. While I was excited to go to college to start the next phase of my life, I also felt deep sadness about saying goodbye to close childhood friends. This song always brings back those feelings so vividly.

[@thomaswoodman9273]

This song brings joy to everyone's heart

[@jeffreybaker100]

His voice almost resembles Paul McCartney a little bit. I remember when this tune first came out in 1980 and I thought it was McCartney singing until I heard it was Ali Thomson. Excellent tune!

[@gazuaman]

Agree.

[@jdsheleg8332]

I was about to write the same! Until just last month I thought this was Paul McCartney and Wings.

[@AndrewVOdom]

Haven’t almost since that year of 1980 Disc jockeys on radio stations like WNBC in New York where I learned it always announced the artist... and Paul had his own big hits that year..

[@ricksuegreen1502]

More Alessi Brothers to me. Even got a little disco bass line thrown in. Such a memorable timeless tune.

[@rdr9999]

Great observation. I’ve always liked this song and I hadn’t realized how much it has a McCartney vibe, right from the start.

[@calfan4life]

A real smile song. Can't help but feel happy when you hear it!

[@silviaadriana4299]

Awwww ❤️ kind of makes me.sad

[@richlitton7862]

This is one of the very best "One hit wonder" songs you will ever hear.............and one of the best overall songs you will ever hear!

[@bobbybishop368]

It's not a one hit wonder.. remember ' LIVE EVERY MINUTE ' ?

[@patriciabove7652]

Haven’t heard this song in a long time,I was 17 years old when this song came out in 1980,love and miss the music of the 80’s.

[@marshalllancaster2314]

On a short list of favorite songs for me. That summer of ‘80 I heard it over and over and that wasn’t enough. Then I went decades without hearing it. He had one more hit shortly after this one.

[@irmapuente1304]

Do you know the name of the song

[@marshalllancaster2314]

It was Live Every Minute.

[@janedowe8403]

HOLY CRAP! I had fogotten about this song! Haven't heard it in *decades*! Thanks for posting it.Damn, I miss the 70's and 80's.

[@paulamiller2433]

i hear ya girl I say we all go back to the 70s and 80s

[@donanger1968]

One of the best songs ever. Ever.

[@rgriggs5218]

Still have the 45 in my collection of the great sounds of the 70’s and 80’s. Great music back in those days. Love to reminisce 🎼🎹🎺🎸

[@Onehappyworlds]

Still a great song. Had this on 45 vinyl back in the day. I wore out 3 copies of it on 45. Miss these kinds of songs. 🎤🎸🎵🎼🎶😀❤️🎙️

[@KK-qb1ve]

Completely forgot this song from my past. Adding it my 2020 playlist. Love 80's music. So much better than today's music.

[@richlitton7862]

This is a great one to find again.

[@mastadonwesley1042]

I got this song on a K-tel album @ Wallgreens back in 1980. I was already a Supertramo fan. Knowing it was their bass players brother made an excellent song even more special.

[@MrTrashcan1]

Forgot this song. Haven't heard it played since 1980.

[@lindaeasley4336]

Almost forgot about this song .It was my favorite song from the year 1980 .Haven't heard it in years

[@angeliquelatimer]

I was iced in out here in West Texas when KBYG AM played this song. I called the station because I LOVE THIS SONG! Joe Popa tracked" it down for me ! Thanks KBYG and a special thanks to All Thompson for such a great song! It has stood the test of time and it is perfect for the mess the world is in right now. Find God my friends.

[@johnlancaster1149]

My favorite song that summer....that and "tired of toeing the line."

[@williamward8715]

Rhythm to the Heart! So sweet and beautiful song!!🥰🙂❤❤❤🌞🌞🌞🌞🌈🌈

Ali Thomson "Take A Little Rhythm" #15, 1980.

[@davidgeoghegan8506]

Only 20 years old what a classic what a Class Act but a great gender of music from 1977 to 88 classic

[@EugeneL1956]

Not heard this for absolute ages. Nice to hear it again.

[@deborahgauwitz1376]

Just heard this song on a yacht rock playlist! I love it!!

[@rockybudgeboa]

Back in 1980, was in Florida on holiday with my parents, heard this ditty on my new transistor radio my parents got me, thought it was Paul McCartney at first. A couple of days later, I accidentally left my radio behind and my tiny purse at the Lincoln Road Mall, came back and it was gone but my little purse was still there. Do not remember if I got another radio or not ;)

[@rodrigoguzmanleroy4915]

great, great song

[@jim2lane]

OMG I had COMPLETELY forgotten about this song! Thanks so much for a memory from one of the best years of my life 😊

[@jjpetrus7614]

This reminds me if The Washington County Fair in 1980. I took my Mom & Dad & my 11 month Nephew. The local paper took a picture of my 63 year old Dad eating an ice cream cone. I also associate this with radio stations AM 1110 WKEG & 1450 WJPA/95.3 K COUNTRY, WYTK, broadcasting from the fair.

[@cherylpellizzari2147]

Wow, brings back such carefree childhood memories at 12 yrs young.

[@user-oe4bh5nc9u]

I was 12 also. Awesome to find it.

[@heidig.296]

An oldie but a goodie!! Thanks for posting!!

[@jessicacorley888]

I heard this song on the "Happy Larry"show this past Sunday. A Paul McCartney soundalike!

[@stormchaser1968]

I was out with my brother the other day cellmapping and heard this song on iHeartradio on a channel with Casey Kasem's Top 40 of 1980 and I had to use Shazam on my phone to see who sung that song since the app on my Cadillac wasn't showing it on the screen. Great song and like others here, I sure miss the 70's & 80's music with the help of Casey Kasem's Top 40 countdowns thanks to that channel on iHeartradio. Casey Kasem Counts Down 70's & 80's Hits

All these years, I thought this tune was Paul McCartney 😂. Don't hear it anymore, but a timeless, peaceful, joyful tune.

También pensaba lo mismo, que era Poul m. Cartney

[@krobschep2110]

The guitar in this song reminds me of the first three minutes of "Dogs" by Pink Floyd.

[@davidgeoghegan8506]

And you don't know which way to go classic

[@ulises9925]

Jajajaja semi-One Hit Wonder,lo debes decir así por el otro gran tema que tuvo Ali Thompson (Live every minute)

[@MrJacMac1968]

Yacht Rock definately

[@RochesterFreeRadio]

Semi one hit wonder?

[@Muzikgirl67]

Rochester FreeRadio Yup! I kind of agree with "Pilot of the airwaves" with that label...many are familiar with Ali's 2nd single to make the charts "Live every minute", which just missed making the Top 40, peaking at #42..thus he's being called a semi-one hit wonder, because he barely missed being a "two-hitter"! Heehee!😂 Both are fantastic songs though for sure! Have a great weekend and Take Care! Ms. Elizabeth📟🎧🎻💿📻🎵

[@michaelfox9613]

Muzikgirl67 for us, one hit wonder is one top 40 hit. Even if they had other hot 100 hits. Mainly because most stations wouldn't have played non top 40 hits.

[@marshalllancaster2314]

I’m one of 5 people on the planet who remembers “ Live Every Minute”...great track. Sounds like Supertramp.

[@iluvpepi]

His brother, Dougie, is (was?) the bassist for Supertramp. 😊

[@marshalllancaster2314]

Anna Maria Delgado he said that was his in back in 79-80. The 2nd hit reminds me of “Dreamer.”

@@garrysnett7688 So was I but it never made it to the Top Ten on the Billboard charts and was off the charts in less than four months. The guy was a flash-in-the-pan and quickly disappeared. Hence my, "Ali who?"
