Dragon Lady by Geraldine Fibbers
Geraldine Fibbers is not the name of the singer, (that's Carla Bozulich, one of my favorite lesbians). The band's name comes from a character on The Flip Wilson Show, in which Flip, in drag as Geraldine, would tell lots of lies. Carla can say so much, just by raising an eyebrow.
I saw this band at The Horseshoe in Toronto in 1997. The sound was terrible. I had a couple of beers with William, the drummer, before the show. He was just sitting out in the bar before the show started, and I recognized him from the Dragon Lady video. I have a picture sleeve vinyl 45 of the song, purchased at the gig, that's never been played

This video is one of my caps and rips, uploaded by someone else. All of the YouTube music videos I've seen so far that have the City Limits crest are my work, but there may be other ones digitalized by other people that I don't know about.

This second link is from an official source, and is marginally longer, at the beginning and end. It has many fewer page views, but is my preference of the two, because it is complete. The colours are brighter in my cap.

You Little Trustmaker by The Tymes, danced by Pan's People
The Tymes were were one of the many dress-alike black soul vocalist bands that formed in the 1950's, and appeared to be one-hit wonders, when they had hit songs, often decades apart.
Pan's People were a female dance ensemble who performed primarily on Top of the Pops, a weekly music series aired on the BBC in the UK of mimed and lip synched performances by music acts who were on the top 30 chart. They were on the show between 1968 and April, 1976.
When charting acts were not in London for the show's taping, Pan's People would dance to their hits, usually one performance per show. They replaced the Go-Jo's as the TOTP dance troupe, and were later replaced by another all female dance group, Legs & Co., who were followed by Zoo, which included male dancers, in 1981-83.
The TOTP dance groups were eventually made redundant by the music video industry. Pan's People, Legs and Co. and Zoo were all choreographed by Felicity "Flick" Colby, who was a member of Pan's People through 1971, and was by far the most talented dancer in the group. She died of bronchopneumonia in 2011 at age 65, after surviving breast cancer twice. This line-up of Pan's People features Barbara "Babs" Lord, Ruth Pearson, Cherry Gillespie, Patricia "Dee Dee" Wilde, and Sue Menhenick.
Babs, the blonde, later became a world explorer, and is one of the few women to have visited both the North and South Poles. Sue was the only member of Pan's People to also be a member of Legs and Co. Legs and Co. were better dancers than Pan's People, but they lacked the former's charisma, and they are remembered much less fondly today.
This was the first performance of Pan's People I ever saw, in June, 2009, although the episode is from October 4, 1974. Many of the Pan's People performances from 1968-75 are lost forever, because the BBC wiped the original recordings from videotape, in order to reuse the tapes for other broadcasts.
The episode from which this clip was taken will probably not be rebroadcast, because the host of this episode, Jimmy Savile, (with the blonde "Prince Valiant" haircut, at the beginning of the clip), has been the subject of serious long term child abuse allegations following his death, after they were largely ignored by his employers for many years.
Pan's People were not the best of dancers, but they were handicapped by often only having a day or two to prepare their dance routines. They might have worked a few days on dancing to a song that subsequently dropped out of the charts before the taping, and they'd have to start from scratch with something else.
What they may have lacked in skill and coordination, they more than made up for in charm and enthusiasm, and each and every one of them seems like the kind of gal you'd like to see on the other side of the door, when you book a session with an Escort you've never met before.
