Sparks - La Dolce Vita

[@eastend59]

How cute are Ron and Russell on this vid? They are miming but those who have been to see them live will attest tojhow good they are live, myself included. Viva le Sparks!

[@54spiritedwill54]

They both look so adorable.

[@jlsutton4819]

Ron is so adorable here I will love Sparks until my dying day x. ❤

[@angellacanfora]

Ron... be still my ❤️

[@blempo]

1979 trance, a change from the earlier Sparks which featured a sort of 1930s flavored rock! This song is cool!

[@Onlyoneofoldeurope]

Heard sparks first at the beginning of the eighties here in germany and still love their music today. The period they were produced by Giorgio Moroder is one of their famous` times. Just No. 1 in all ....

[@xlilxvampirex]

after a bloody bad day, I just HAVE to listen to sparks. This band just makes me forget how annoying life can be lol !!!!!

[@snpok524]

Classic Sparks from an album that was ground-breaking, remember great times. listening to this in Berlin nightclubs.

[@voteforgoat]

I don't know enough about the Gratuitous Sax era, but they've also had a huge revival with their past few albums. Sold out shows and great reviews from the critics. They are not one band to rest on their laurels.

[@scotsguy7]

I totally agree with mazzarge about the album "Number 1 in Heaven" being one of the best of all time. Mainly overlooked by the masses bakc in 1979, but I wonder what kind of reaction they would get, if the album were to be released now. I guess the music press would laud them to, metaphorically-speaking, HEAVEN!

[@speakuponetime]

This era is so good for Ron

[@PhyllisJay]

Rons best hair era.

[@jrmarrero96]

Both of the Moroder produced albums are permanently in my ipod. I would love to own the Japanese remastered No 1 Song In Heaven but it is so hard to find and expensive.

[@LivingDeadEnby]

1:12 is so cute :)

[@fatley]

your right mate,its a cracking and under rated record

[@Finnsnor]

this was one of the first 5 singles i bought in 79

[@snufcat]

love the guys dance

[@TIWICI]

...Well Donna Summer can BITE ME! Love this video!♥ Ron's skin is always so flawless, and his facial expressions are priceless! So, how DID you get so sexy, Russell?♥♥♥♥

[@SloreTactician]

I want Russell's outfit!

[@RebirthRadio2023]

Absolutely groundbreaking. This is drum&bass, happy hardcore, psy-trance, hard trance all rolled into one, 20 years before any of those genres existed. The whole Number One In Heaven album is astounding, and the full-length version of La Dolce Vita my personal fave track off the whole album.

[@wonderfool1234]

the number one band in heaven... *sigh*

[@joezava8257]

The Sound NRG & Synhtpop of Giorgio⚡Moroder pionner of EDM (1977)

[@paulfogarty7724]

Produced by Giorgio Moroder, himself a musical genius. However, Ron Mael is the "Nicola Tesla" here. Hardly ever getting credit in the Utube comments for composing & writing the lyrics of Sparks music. " Looks like Hitler " ( which he doesn't) is all most people can say about him. So here's to Ron ! - musical genius.

[@EricMontreal22]

Donna Summer never said anything about them--but I doubt she cared one way or another. Great GREAT moroder album

[@mollyscot1563]

My reproductive organs thank Russell Mael.

[@Twirlyhead]

"Live on German TV" - well they're not dead but as for playing live ....

[@sieurduroue]

tremendiouss !

[@jrmarrero96]

Don't forget about the Terminal Jive album. It was also produced by Moroder and is underated even by Sparks fans. I personally think it's a slightly better album than No 1 but that's just my opinion.

[@peterogr]

well picked

[@jmedia1102]

Hey, why not;-)?

[@4Dsign]

Giorgio Moroder seems to be behind this music.

[@eastend59]

Don't stand so close to me.

[@jmedia1102]

Ah, THAT's why, ok;-)

[@caseygtr]

weird fucking band, but I guess its awesome

[@kunoichi09]

I have a very serious question. "Sparks" as well as "The Darkness" have an uncanny resemblance. Are they the same people? This is bothering me. =/

[@MackerelCat]

it's just a moustache....charlie chaplin had one........

[@Twirlyhead]

Giorgio Moroder.

[@lasfinisimas]

offensive is the interpretation that several low minded people tendo to do

[@bj70117]

Donna Summer hated them.

[@howlsfish]

not their best tune - but great footage - well done
