      Moroder wrote the music for Number One Song In Heaven, Ron and Russel wrote the lyrics for that one.

    These have got to be two of the greatest falsettos in the industry. Barry Gibb is the only one I can think of that rivals them.
    I'm obsessed with this version of this song.

      You clearly never heard Morten Harket of A-ha nor Marian Gold of Alphaville. And it's amazing what Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran, Andy McCluskey of OMD, and Neil Finn of Crowded House when they want in certain songs. Thing with Jimmy Somerville, he sound like that all the time and he doesn't have the many layers that Russ has, where he can drop his voice real low whenever he wants.

      Yeah. It's my favourite too. I listen to this several times in a row with my earphones on. Makes me feel any thing is possible!

    Jimmy Somerville singing "The Number One Song in Heaven" with Sparks(!) is the greatest musical event that happened at any Pride ever.

    These versions of the songs can be found on Sparks' album Plagiarism. One of my favourite albums ever!

    Hey lightsOutIbiza!! You had a Sparks video named "Sparks - Rock of the 80's" the video was recently taken down by "SME" who claims to own it. Where did that video come from? I want to find it. Thanks!!

    The hand offs to Jimmy were slightly awkward. Russell is soooo used to doing it all by himself.
    When, Jimmy took the mic, it was angelic.
