Tony Foster Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Just for fun!!! A few months ago I was doing a bit of reminiscing with my old mate Shute and we started to talk about what you thought it was? That is when you first heard the record and thought that's good, I want one of them and went searching for that elusive 45 without knowing the correct title or the artist and just going on the chorous line of the record. I'll start you off with a couple, now don't be shy as this is just for fun IKE & TINA TURNER - BRUSH MY ROOM COOPERETTES - SHAKE A LEG Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
