I rediscover Shakatak. I am 52 now. What a good songs they made in the eighties 👌
-
wow I can't believe I've been listening to Shakatak for over 40 years
-
Jill Seward had THE best 80s hair (and a great voice too!).
-
First time I had listened to this song in 1985, I had fallen in love with it, and I do still love it!
-
I'm a 90's baby who grew up around 80's tunes and can honestly say nothing can replace the music of the 80's thanks to the likes of Shakatak. Went to watch them in London a few months ago... honestly sensational <3

Went to see them in concert last night (20/02/22) in St Albans. Absolutely brilliant.

Just found out about this song yesterday. I love it
-
I heard this song for the first time just two years ago, it came up on the radio in my car while I was working late at night. I was driving on empty streets during one of the covid lockdowns. It gave me a very special eary feeling and every time I listen to it now I feel it again, but I can't explain what it is. Anyway, I'm happy that I discovered this song.

The Music, the Hair, the Cloth, awsome

Sharp eyed capture of a situation , everybody has experienced. George Anderson again with magic bass sound. How did he manage to play so many great records without failing a single time. To me he is one of a kind.
