I don't care who else in the world performs Lovin Is Really My Game, Hot Chocolate will ALWAYS ALWAYS be the best!
First saw her do this in 79-80 at Old Plantation in Houston. Just instantly mesmerized by her movement! Love you Larry!

Love me some Hot Chocolate. She performed at Bill's gay bar in Waco, TX 1989. She wore out some Tina Turner and afterwards she came to our home for cocktails. Larry is a very sweet guy. I left Texas in 1992 and I don't know if she's still with us but LOVE HER.

[@MikeTamburrino]

I was there working that night at Illusions! She lit that stage on fire... every inch of those boards. The cleanup afterwards was fun, but worth it. ~Hugs

THAT my dears is what's called a "drag carwash". That dress will wash your car and strip the paint off at the same time.
