Jimmy's videos

Finally, the double CD and DVD of singer Jimmy Somerville's singles and pop promos with Bronski Beat and The Communards - the groups he fronted in the 80s and 90s, and also his solo work. I loved his versin of "Hurts So Good" in 1995 and had both CD singles, including the Sly & Robbie mixes, funky or what! The UK video (below) has him in muscle mary mode. Then there is the original "Smalltown Boy" which we related to back in 1985 - and that 2014 stripped down new version, where the older Jimmy, still with that piercing voice, gets one all over again. He is still here !  I must dig out that album of his "Dare to Love". Good too to see him and Boy George working together this year, as per previous post- music label.
