Subject: Who was that Male Pop Performer?
Written By: Cranky Franky on 05/04/15 at 9:56 pm
Who was that Male Pop Performer in the early '80s (late '70s?) that had a video where he was singing away, and had two girls dancing side by side next to him, dressed a little like cheer leaders, well sporty in short skirts and sport tops...at least that's the video we got in Australia....
It was a fairly 'poppy' song from memory.....I'm trying to think of his name, keep getting Rick Astley, but really don't think it was him, at least I can't find that video under his name...
Any clues?...

Can you describe the male singer more? Or maybe he was an Aussie? Rick Springfield? Nik Kershaw?

There's also Tight Fit who had hits with "Fantasy Island" and "Lion Sleeps Tonight"... both in 1982.

Are the two girls bopping up and down on either side of him? ???

....not Tight Fit either.....
....from memory, it was a fairly plain setting (white background?) in a studio, with the male performer to the left of screen with microphone, and both dancers to his left, ie. right of screen....
....from memory the female dancers were wearing sporty type clothing, short sports skirts and sleeveless sports tunics...
....can't remember where the artist was from, but I'm guessing English?....

All I can think of is Toni Basil's "Mickey", that featured cheerleaders, but she is female.
