Thanks for posting "Five foot two..." Dave! This is one of my favorite diamond discs. I'm still looking for a copy.

That is a great rendition of Five Foot Two. Surely one of best dance music diamond discs. Thanks for sharing it.

Cheers, Bruce

Oh yes, this is a great version. BTW Dave did you post a copy of Manhatten up on the board. I can't seem to find it now?

Richard,

I posted "Manhattan" on Youtube some time ago.

Manhattan is really nice too. And you have a fantastic looking A450. A very uncommon machine.

I never realised that "Manhatten" was so old. I assumed Ella made the original version! I assumed it was current in the 1950's because of the references to the broadway show "My fair lady" in the lyrics. I assume therefore that new lyrics were added to an old tune!
