I seem to have a strong and enduring affection for the voice of Scottish 80's diva, Kelly Marie. Her compellingly powerful tones provided 2 major hits in Australia: "Make love to me' and 'Feels like I'm in love'; the latter her biggest hit in the United Kingdom. Both tracks made Top 10 downunder, but Kelly failed to make further inroads despite releasing lots of high energy dance tracks. With disco dying a certain death by 1981 (after her second hit had left the scene), dance music was somewhat underground for the rest of that decade - the main recording years for the singer. Retiring to raise her family, there are a handful of great dance tracks that Kelly lent her considerable talents to, and they continue to delight and motivate me, all these years later. I really like the passion and texture to her voice; combined with the high octane life affirming mantras and she ticks several of my musical boxes.

'Hands up' was released in 1986 & was penned by John Springate. It is kinda locked in time to the era, but i discovered it only recently, and think it is an enjoyable piece of retro dance music.
