OK, firstly apologies for the smutty, Carry On, double entendre, innuendo title for this new feature. But I am talking about the 12-inch single, obviously! This will build into a playlist of my favourite 12-inch singles and remixes, many of which I used to own on vinyl. I am kicking off with an absolute club smash from 1977, “Do What You Wanna Do” by T-Connection. The single, helped by the majestic 12-inch version got to number one in the US Dance Chart and a peak of number 11 in the UK charts. The group majored in a classy funk and disco sound, epitomised by “Do What You Wanna Do”. The band hailed from Nassau in the Bahamas, Funky Nassau indeed! Despite being active from 1975 until 1984 they sadly never reached the heights achieved by this song again. So put on your dancing trousers and cut some rug to the awesome “Do What You Wanna Do”. Dance like nobody’s watching and remember “You gotta be your judge and jury too!”
This series will eventually become a playlist, so keep your ears peeled for that! Also, feel free to recommend your own favourite 12-inch tracks!
