Everybody's Free was HUGE during my first Gay Pride after moving to NYC. So much so that my friends and I saw Rozalla perform the song at least three times at various clubs over that weekend. It seemed as if every time we turned around, Rozalla would appear and start singing. After so many cocktails we couldn't tell if we were seeing her live or having a flashback from the night before...
Thanks! I needed an afternoon dance break!
ReplyDeleteb/c i was born in 1980, i was not old enough to properly appreciate this as an original, but the remake featured on the "romeo + juliet" soundrack was my song!
ReplyDeleteuggg... I didn't like it then, and I don't like it now
ReplyDeleteI was a lot more into the techno sound at that time of my life.
"James Brown IS dead" was my preference.
BUT, Roz sums up the feel of the challenge.
I'm fairly certain that this was the final song played at the April 1993 March on Washington. (It's the last song I heard, anyway!) It stil brings back memories of an incredible day!
