Music Monday

What group achieved the rare distinction of becoming the first black female singers to perform at the Grand Ole Opry??
~
~Do ya know???~
~
In 1975 What group won a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for "Fairytale" ??
~
~Ya got it figured out?~

You probably won't get it!
I didn't even know it until
I started writing this post.

Harry took me to see my 3rd concert in the Florida Theater in Jacksonville, FL.
We went sometime in the early 1980's.
We had seats in the nose~bleed section!
You know the section of the theater that you need your binoculars to see anything, yeah, those seats!
~
~
"I'm So Excited!"
~
~that was a hint~
~
"That I just can't hide it"
~
~
Do you remember any of these songs:
~
"Yes We Can Can"
~
"He's So Shy"
~
"Jump"
~
"Neutron Dance"
~
"Romeo and Juliet"
~
Well the below video packs in their 7 top ten hits in one 5 minute video.
(I'm not so sure what they call these costumes they are wearing? Just some of that 80's weird stuff.)
~
Now for your viewing and listening pleasure!





Now I dare you not to "Jump"

and get "Excited"

and do your best Disco moves!

Get Moving Monday!!
