Song of the Day: 'Showing Out (Get Fresh for the Weekend)' by Mel & Kim


The very-'80s DJ who warmed up the crowd at Bananarama on Saturday played this gem. How could I have forgotten that there was more to this sister act than "Respectable"? Hard to believe Melanie died of cancer 28 years ago last month.

Couldn't believe when he played this. One of my old faves, I even have it on vinyl. His whole set was 100% on point. Again such a fun show!

This song, a couple of Heinekens and my dancing shoes and I was all set at Studio One. And gosh, whatever happened to American Rag (on La Brea) and ACA Joe's? And Butch Wax records on Sunset and Tommy's on Alvarado? Etc, etc...
