Just realised I was mixing them up with Sister Sledge. I had thought sister sledge's Frankie was my introduction to PS. My mistake. Ignore me! My intro to PS must have been Jump or I’m so excited.

That was excellent and much better than Frankie!

A great song and perfect pick.

Wouldn't be right if EC didn't pop up. Nice one, again.

I was so close to picking Kirsten today! Great to see this version.

I thought both were Blondie songs for many years

Brilliant pop. I don't remember this first time around.

So good to hear Roddy and Edwyn together. I was (and still am) a big fan of both their bands. Here they are at Tim Peaks a few years back: youtu.be/ku83Gcg28uU?...

A lovely tune but probably that would probably only work on the album as a great closer.

This is so good. I, unsurprisingly, heard Blondie first, but when I first heard this I loved it!

I do but only because I think you either posted it or directed me to it once. It's fantastic.

I missed them around the first album and came back to it later. I was on my first stint in Japan and then travelling in Asia when they started out so didn't hear them then.

It's one of their best.

Wasn't the first thing I heard but is definitely one of my favourites.

Always good when EC pops up. This sounds familiar because ECs voice is so familiar but I’m not sure I’ve actually heard this before.

Transported straight back to my school days! Great pick.

Hadn’t seen the video before. Stunning album, this.

That Canal + session is wonderful!

I'm fairly sure you're probably right - chances are very much that it is grey and miserable there.

One of those great songs we all know. Love the cheap shark effect in the video!

I was thinking the same - that I have known this song forever and yet didn't know who sang it!.

Well, we have a beautiful sunny morning here but the song still makes an excellent start to the day.

Duran Duran missed out when he left!

Another artist that I really like but somehow passed me by for many years. I didn't really get into him until I was much older - still better late than never. This is a a great song!

I didn't know that - could have used that in the family members in bands challenge!
