Ska, Motown and New Orleans R&B like Fats Domino Lous Jordan were the choices in West London. I went to a similar party, a racially mixed family, in Putney, not for money, as a 13year old, held by a semi-pro opera singer. I distinctly remember the "funky chicken""

        I’m enjoying this evening’s Disco prom - great orchestra/band sound and good singing from the soloists and backing singers, particularly the female singers.
