It’s a pity they’re miming but this is still bursting with fabulousness, not least of which is how cute PP Arnold looks.

Thought I’d end the week how I started with some sweet soul music.
Shivers up my spine, people. Shivers up my spine.

I’ve never bought into the whole “the only band that mattered” bollocks (who came up with that?) because The Jam mattered more to me than The Clash anyway, but they were still pretty bloody magnificent.

Here’s another raven-haired beauty for you. Haven’t had any Bobbie Gentry here in way too long. An obvious song choice but I’d never seen this clip before and it’s just sublime.

I adore David Bowie when he lets his inner art-school boy run wild and gives us brilliant WTF moments like this.
This rare clip is from 1979 and features our Dave with Klaus Nomi on backing vocals and Jimmy Destri of Blondie on keyboards. Fabulous stuff.

I haven’t bought a Prince record since he was using a squiggly symbol as his name but I still regard the little chap as a genius and I don’t throw that word around lightly, especially when it comes to pop musicians.
So I was more than happy when his new single “Screwdriver” turned out to be something of a return to top form. He even has a band of sexy girls behind him just like in the great old days of Wendy and Lisa and Sheila E.
