Divine - Shake It Up 1983

The Pet Shop Boys and I got one thing in common - exclusively one thing. We admire the exceptionial productions of Bobby Orlando. You might disagree but "West End Girls" is in in my book the only piece of music these two Brits ever were involved in and it was off course produced by Bobby O.
Divine`s shake it up is not my favourite Orlando production but it shows how visionary this man was in terms of combining a show momentum with his gayish disco hits - ironically he was greatly homophobic.
Born as Harris Glenn Milstead Divine was a famous transvestide starring as an actor in movies like Pink Flamingos where the name Divine was first used.
More Orlando stuff here on chosensperms in the near future for now this track
+ an appearance in Tony Wilsons Hacienda/Manchester who unfortunately passed away just a few weeks ago
+ a tribute to this special man and his vision of a club

RIP Anthony Howard Wilson 20 February 1950 – 10 August 2007
