Brilliant well done!

Well I think it's brilliant. If you listen to lots of genres like I do you would know this track is just a masterpiece written by a legend! Not only is the music excellent his voice is just the icing on the cake- I have heard several versions of this track and by far this is the best with no contender- not only is the voice and music great the dance moves, the flamboyance is just phenomenal!

A masterpiece which will echo for decades to come...
