Re: Shakin Stevens

I loved Shaky and not in the slightest bit ashamed to admit it! I had all of his singles, albums & my bedroom walls were covered (not a millimetre left free) in posters!

I was soooo pleased when he won that reality programme (although, I hate reality tv & can't remember what it was called, although I did vote for him several times!)

I bought his new album much to the disgust of my partner, since were both into rock/heavy metal he was horrified, especially when I played it in the car, with the windows down!! lol

Long live Shaky!!

Amazing how many weird looks you get when you're playing Shaky. Being a fan since the early 80's you do get used to it!!!

Re: Shakin Stevens

When I was in Sainsbury's on Wednesday I noticed that he has a greatest hits album out. I nearly bought it.

Re: Shakin Stevens

My Other half was in to his music before he made it big.
I like the hits, can't judge the early stuff as I've not heard it but he swears it was better.

Re: Shakin Stevens

Anyone else what to own up to being a Shaky fan? Shaky was my 2nd pop hero after David Soul.

You can't deny songs such as the following were 80's classics

This Ole House
green door
oh julie
Its Late
Lipstick Powder and Paint

It's Raining is probably my favourite track, along with I'll Be Satisfied. Sea Cruise, Baby That Is Rock and Roll... I'm going to have to dig out my old cassettes if I still have them.

But onto your other idol, David Soul...

Playing To An Audience of One - hell yeah! Silver Lady, Nobody But A Fool Or A Preacher, Mary's Fancy, Don't Give Up On Us, I Wish I Was (actually performed on Starsky and Hutch with Hutch singing to his ex wife I think it was - then she ended up murdered with Hutch's gun while he was out jogging or shopping)...

Ah it's raining I'm sure I have/had the picture disc of that, will have to go a hunting. I'd completely forgot about that , so cheers



My David Soul vinyl is long gone, I do have Silver Lady and Dont Give Up On Us on my pc, they occasionally get an airing

Re: Shakin Stevens

You can't buy the album I mentioned on CD, but it is on Vodafone's music service. Weird.

Re: Shakin Stevens

I'm 26 and have been a Shaky fan since I was 5. I'm not ashamed to admit it either. I have his entire back catalogue on vinyl and listen to them every weekend when doing the housework.
I was ecstatic when he won Hit Me Baby One More Time the other year. Nothing against the other acts but it was obvious from day one that he would win it.
I've not seen him live since 1991 when he released There's Only Two Kinds of Music...Rock N Roll at Fairfield Halls in Croydon and would really want to go and see him again.
