As Ian Levine once said:
The first pioneering record of the whole High Energy scene. Made after four years where I couldn't make a single recording simply because everyone said Disco was dead. Two million sales of this record proved them all wrong. But despite it being number one pop in France and Mexico, and number one in the US on Billboard's dance chart, it never even charted in England, despite selling fifty thousand copies here. Things have certainly changed since then.
Miquel came from Detroit, lived in England, had a small 1970s disco hit called "Symphony Of Love", and was the perfect artist to record my anthem. Her daughter, Sinitta, was Simon Cowell's first ever hit artist.
As Ian Levine wrote:
My first record to cross over in America. Barbara had first signed to Island but our two releases didn't take off like Evelyn Thomas and L.J. Johnson's did, and I was determined to give her a showcase record for her talent. "Twenty Four Hours A Day" started off breaking on the Northern Soul scene, and resulted in Richard Searling being forbidden to play it any more at Wigan. But my mentor Martin Davis signed it to United Artists, and it came out in America and topped the US Disco Charts in Billboard in 1977 for a staggering seven weeks, and people today still tell me it was one of the biggest and most beloved records of the entire Disco era.

The medical establishment and the government must now act, as they have done with female genital mutilation, to protect boys from medically unnecessary religious and cultural genital cutting.
"Bang Shang-A-Lang" was The Archies first single and included on their first album, "The Archies" in 1968. The song hit #22 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was featured in the first episode of the "Archie" Saturday morning TV show.
A huge number of women CAN be convinced to not cut their sons and some can even become intactivists. The modern intactivist movement was started by a woman (Marilyn Milos). For every dumb pro-circ woman who won't listen, there's a "I'm circumcised and fine, I'll cut my son too to make him like me!" moron dude.
BIRTHDAY SURPRISE!!! Aubriel Dinga, a Las Vegas mom, was driving around on her birthday last night, not knowing that Bloodstained Men had a billboard on Las Vegas Blvd. Here's her story!

"Dance Yourself Dizzy" is a 1979 song by Liquid Gold taken from their self-titled album. It was the band's biggest hit in the UK, peaking at number two and being certified silver for sales of 250,000.
Recording
Some of the members of Liquid Gold did not have great belief in the song, such as Syd Twynham; however, lead singer Ellie Hope was more hopeful for its success. Syd Twynham recalled, "We didn't think it really going to happen but we were playing a residency at Caesar's Palace in Luton and the song came on and everyone was dancing so we were really surprised when it took off the way it did".
Reception
Barry Lederer in Billboard was positive: "As with the first hit, this new release is, equally, energetic, uplifting and a step forward for the group."[3]
MYTH: A boy should look like his circumcised father or friends.
FACT: There is no evidence of harm when a boy does not “match” his father, brothers, or peers. Differences are easily explained. A child’s emotional well-being is best supported through good parenting, not cosmetic surgery. Many families with circumcised fathers or older brothers are choosing to keep younger sons whole, without any problems whatsoever.
