Ooh this song brings back memories from the good old 70's!

This song makes me smile, something I really needed about now!!!

The first song I bought with my own money, I was about nine years old. I saw it on TV and was mesmerised. True story. Thanks for posting. Paully xxx

When I was buying the album this song was on, it turned out the girl behind the counter selling it to me was the niece of the lead singer :)

Świetna muzyka... Dla takiej muzyki warto żyć... Pozdrawiam...

[@justinneill5003]

This was their best song by a mile. ‘Some Girls Do’ seems to be better known but this one, which I think was their first hit, is far better in my opinion. In fact, if they re-released it now I think it could easily be a hit all over again with a whole new audience, it’s such a feel good party song.

[@edmundpower1250]

Totally agree. But

Great memories of these beautiful times of music. Best music years ever. I was born in 1962 and very happy that I was able to experience these years when it was noh beautiful music with content. 60s 70s and 80s best years.

[@peasantinthepalace1641]

Who said the 80s was the best music 😂🎵

[@ellieidolfan]

Well, almost 1980s. Late 1970s, 1978, 1979. This song was released November 1978, and on radio the 1st and 2nd quarter, 1st half of 1979, too, till approximately June 1979.

When I read the biographies, I see Richard Blake and Matt Venn as Pete Miller's replacement. Who was it really?

[@SupermanJ.R]

Think First Single of Racey

[@katewright2445]

First chart topper but first single was Chris Norman and Pete Spencer's Baby Its You, as good as Smokie. Rudd was a B side written by Richard Gower, loved those harmonies, so reminiscent of Beach Boys,Fleetwood Mac, Little River Band

[@scented-leafpelargonium3366]

As an English word, "racy" is spelt without an "e," as in "smoky," bony," spiny" etc., but often an "e" appears in these words without many people noticing. Super pop sound from the 80's though!
