Speaking of Disco, I’ll also discuss perhaps THE favorite musical genre the girls employed during their heyday. Was that a bad call, seeing how it was a temporary fad? Who can say, but, Mie and Kei had made it their own, and I sure loved hearing the kill it. Oh, yeah, since it’s December, that also means it’s time for our annual trip down memory lane and that show which brought Pink Lady’s history to life, something I never tire of watching. Until next month, take care and have a great day!

Welcome to December! So, here we are yet again at the end of another year of fun and frolic here at the website, our 26th to be precise. Wow, where DID the time go? As I type these words of wit(?), we’re looking at chilly temps, quite a change from November when it was warmer than normal, wacky weather.
As you saw on the Contents page, I’ll be reviewing Pink Lady’s one and only U.S. album which had been released in 1979, and, for me, there had been quite the bit of history surrounding it. Allow me to explain. When “Kiss in the Dark” had been released in early spring and made it’s short stay on the Billboard Top 40 in early June, I was in on a U.S. Navy ship that was about to leave Norfolk (Virginia, not England) where I was stationed for a six month cruise in the Mediterranean, while I had bought the single, sadly, I wasn’t able to find the album before setting sail. When I returned to the States in early December and went home for a two week break, the first thing I did was hit every record store (remember those?) in downtown Philly to search for the album, it took some effort, but, I did manage to get my hands on it, and that made me very happy. When I got to listen to the album, it was a real treat to listen to Mie and Kei sing Disco tunes like KITD in English and it was a fun record, one I still have to this day.
