London's Gay Men's Chorus Sings!

Well, it is Sunday morning, and I am [fingers crossed] on my way to Washington, DC, to be an extra in Tom Goss' latest video for the song It's All Over from his new album, Turn It Around. So I thought I would leave you all in the capable and warm hands of London's Gay Men's Chorus.



It's true, I can't seem to escape the pull the Men's Chorus' have on me, but I don't think that is a problem. I will just listen to some more.And I will start with London's Chorus singing It's A Sin by the Pet Shop Boys, perfect for any and all Sunday mornings, right?



And how could you not love a large group of gay men singing one of Jane Russell's songs from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes? I mean, the scene in the movie with Dorothy singing with the men's gymnastics team is almost as gay as the chorus, right? Well, here they are singing Ain't There Anyone Here For Love?



So visit the London Gay Men's Chorus at their official website here. They even have an area where you can shop some of their music, which you can also find on iTunes. I purchased From The Ritz To The Anchor & Crown here, and just love the musical selections!

Friday Night Blogiversary Party

Top: Paul Lekakis & Magnus Carlsson. Middle: Erasure. Bottom: Pet Shop Boys and Janet Jackson.

OK, to continue the fun, it is time to celebrate Friday night with a collection of great music that makes me want to get up and dance, and I hope you feel the same! So I have compiled a group of artists who have all been on the blog before, and who might very well be on it again sometime soon. The first song is My House by Paul Lekakis, who was just on the blog the other day. I still love his music, so I am good to listen to it any time I can. I really did love this song off the 1990 album, Tattoo It. My God, he looks so young in this video!



Swedish stunner Magnus Carlsson shows off his exceptional pipes is a cover of the great Erasure song, A Little Respect. The song was part of the 2010 album Pop Galaxy, which I just love. Aside from Magnus' dreamy good looks, voice and upbeat personality always win me over.



You don't think I could let Magnus cover them, and not include one of my favorite songs in this great mix of songs, right? Andy Bell shows why few cold ever match him in the vocals department, and Vince Clarke is there to deliver some top-notch musicianship. Together, they are Erasure singing one of my favorites, Chains Of Love. The single was released in 1988, off the album, The Innocents.



In 1987, Thee Pet Shop Boys went to the top of the charts with the infectious It's A Sin. Off the album Actually, the song is a classic example of Neil Tennant's and Chris Lowe's work, with complex music that came across on first listen as simple.



In 2001, Miss Janet Jackson scored a worldwide hit with the song All For You from the album of the same name. This came 15 years after her first trip up the charts with the music of the sensational Control. Crank up the volume and enjoy a bit of Miss Jackson.



Have a great night and weekend!
