Love that – wish they made stuff like that today.
How do you decide what artists to put up and why do you decide to omit others, Ele?
Just thinking the post prior to this has Little Eva effectively a one hit wonder then this – an example of one of the great movie pairings of the last century

Andrei, it’s a haphazard process.
I start with birthdays or anniversaries from the history post and go to youTube with the name.
Sometimes I’ve got a favourite in mind, sometimes I find something new, sometimes I can’t find anything I like and don’t do a post, sometimes I miss someone altogether – yesterday I overlooked Richard Rogers’ birthday.
I chose the Locomotion because when I was a student the Phys Ed school at Otago held dancing lessons & that was one of the dances we learned.
Rose Marie got the nod because I remembered going to the Oamaru Operatic Society’s performance of the show when I was a child.

That makes sense, Locomotion is an interesting song of course – a Carole King, Gerry Goffin thing which has had many outings by many different artists over the years.
I wonder whose version you danced to at the Phys Ed school?

It was 1976ish but not sure if it was a version from that time or an earlier one.
