I gave Leif Garrett a brief, little bit of a mention in the A to Z of Glam rock thread.He was a bit of a girlie pin up star in his day.Here in the UK ..he is a bit of a forgotten disco star...with only one big hit record to his name.
It was interesting to look him up on Wikipedia to discover his past problems, but saying that it looks impressive how much film /tv work he has achieved.

This song reached an impressive number 4 in the charts here in the UK ! I have never heard it on the radio for years !!

I was made for dancing

he had three top 10 hits here in Australia:

Surfin' USA - #2
Runaround Sue - #8
I Was Made For Dancin' - #2

I remember my sister having the album with "i was made for dancin' " on it, she played it to death, I couldn't stand it...
