Communards: Never Can Say Good-Bye

This song was a huge hit in NY clubs sung by Gloria Gaynor in a Tom Moulton mix back in the mid 70s.  When I was in England in the late 80s I was turned on to a group called The Communards featuring the original lead singer/songwriter from Bronski Beat, Jimmy Somerville.  Whose tight falsetto is still hard to copy. This video took me back a few decades to the unleashed fun of dancing for hours at 12West, Flamingo, Truck Stop, Chameleon, and others without a care for the outside world.
We knew it was still there, but our sanctuary was the dance floor, good DJ, and a magician on lights. Turn up the volume on your speakers and enjoy. Unforgettable:
And so it goes.
