Three Degrees deserve way more credit. They seem to be mostly forgotten nowadays which is a criminal injustice.

Sheila Ferguson, definitely one of the women who made the 70s wonderful, beautiful and memorable.

Yep I'm here because Prince Charles said it makes him get up and dance. The power of social media 😀😀

One of my favorite songs since 1978. Prince Charles has great taste. And Giorgio Moroder is a great musician and composer. I really like his music.
