today i have been putting together a playlist for my birthday drinks. this thirty something and a bit more thirty something is soon to be forty and nothing much else! going through lots of old tunes today has made me really want to get up and dance which hopefully everyone else will want to too! happy nearly birthday to me.

before 1984 i knew nothing about this man

then this song burst onto the screens of top of the pops

i was too young at the time to understand what it meant

what an incredible man
