I’ve found DC peeps are always pleasantly surprised when asked about gogo, like they expect no one else to know about it.
one thing that stood out to me was all 3 DC people I’ve met and asked about it, call it “A Go-Go / the Go-Go” like going to a disco. I don’t know if this is a niche colloquium, they were all late 30s early 40s
It was part of the series they did with the hip hop one too and I think there was one other one but can’t remember what that was on. I think Alan Yentob did them but can’t be sure of that…
Coincidentally the go-go doc was first aired exactly 40 years ago today!

I did find some clips still on youtube but might have the whole thing downloaded somewhere, I will share if I can find it.

Thanks, those are the clips I found but there’s bits missing.
Here’s the whole thing in slightly better quality for anyone interested:
Wicked nice one.
This is on a NY label but the writing / arranging / production team were all members of E.U.
Im sure many of us were here.
My recollection is that it was the hottest and sweatiest gig ever.
Convinced that go-go was going to take over the world until those pesky kids from chicago made us take think again…
