Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone can settle a piece of music trivia that is in dispute between me and some friends.

The question is did Jonathan King's version of "In The Moon" reach the British top 50, and if it did what year and number did it reach?

Thanks,

Paul.

Am I allowed to answer Paul?
And do you mean "In The Mood"?

JK

no JK, you did "Everyone's gone to the Moon".

but I'm not answering until Paul gives permission!

You have my permission Jonathan. lol. I replied to your post yesterday, but it dosen't look like you got it. Yes I did mean "In the mood", haha.

you have my permission

Never got your reply Paul; wonder where it went.
Anyway, the answer is YES...
I had a hit with a Dance/Disco version of In The Mood under the name SOUND 9418; my home phone number at the time was 935 9418!
This was in 1976 and although the record only reached No46 in the charts, it was a big club hit, sold over 200,000 vinyl 7inch copies (these days only 10 hits a year do that!) and paid for an entire Album of instrumentals, many of which I recycled as a tribute to Harry, Ron, Hermione and the Wizards which came out in 1999 to the reaction from dealers of "Who the fuck is Harry Potter?"!

The idea for the multi styled dance treatment came from the late James Hamilton, a lovely gentle giant of a man and a very popular club DJ.
