Hi-NRG.

I’ve featured this video on the blog before, and it remains one of my favorite tracks of all time. A cover of Gloria Gaynor’s “Never Can Say Goodbye”, which is a disco remake the Jackson-5 track of the same name, this song was quite popular when I first discovered gay clubs in my college years.

From 1987, here’s The Communards with “Never Can Say Goodbye”.

I have to admit I had a crush on keyboardist Richard Coles, who became an ordained priest in 2005.
