Nice clip, thanks for sharing

Time for a song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCjTWYoRTzM

You can just imagine how the producers of TOTP would have had PansPeople dancing to this :D

Sometime in 1980 or early 1981, the dancers on Top of the Pops were dancing to Singing In The Rain recorded by Sheila B. Devotion. I assume it was Legs & Co as I think they had taken over from Pan's People by then. Anyway, they were all wearing semi-see-through plastic macs which were all the rage at the time. I have failed to find a recording of this, I even watched all the editions of TOTP2 showing repeats TOTP between 1979 to 1981 but to no avail. I would love to see it again. Does anyone else remember seeing them ?

I must admit I did not watch top of the pops during that era.

I've tried all the keywords I can think of including Top Pops/ singing in the rain/legs & co/Pans People/Sheila B. Devotion/ Sheila Devotion and so on and so on. I have failed miserably. Perhaps Colleen could do a version in one of her lovely see-though macs. You could be the new Pans People !!
