I have a very close friend who wanted to hear this song the day he dies of Kaposi Sarcoma. He said he wanted to go out with all the memories of the time on the dance floors of the Saint, Badlands, Lost and Found and Limelight. He wanted to go to sleep with great memories dancing in his head. We were playing the 12inch mix when he passed. Still wonderful memories of a time most want to forget. Here's to World AIDS Day!
Not many go in the way they want. Your friend did. Many don't get to go to the memories. Surround by friends and family, music of their youth, and loved. There is worse ways to go, your friend passed, but was made sure they knew they were loved. Hope everyone left is doing okay. Peace.
My mum is now in a care home with dementia, but when this was shown on TOTP'S, she loved the way Jimmy could dance and still remembers this song and video. Thank you Jimmy.
mel jackson I have a PAT dog who loves working with folks who have dementia . To watch him brings tears to an old mans eyes . he can reach the places other humans just cannot come close . I hope you mam gets to have that time with a dog like my Alfie .See the light in her eyes . i wish you and your mam all the best my friend .
Top song Jimmy Somerville has a great voice, it is amazing how manages his two careers, Pop Singer and team captain on Have I Got News For You! Seriously, I would love to see him on Ian Hislop’s team with his former band mate, the now Rev. Richard Coles on Paul Merton’s team!
PS. Gay or not..this tune isn't about being gay...it's just a cool song...I love this tape. Beyonce, Miley Viral, Rihana move over girls, this is real Musik! Beyonce, Miley Viral, Rihana move over girls, this is real Musik!
Honestly, I didn't know about this version of this song until just now. Obviously this song has stood the test of time and has mined gold for anyone who has had the courage to record it.
I was a child, back in the 80's, when I first listened to this song and I loved it from the very first moment of hearing the chorus...thanks for sharing...
Best song of Communards,Dont leave me this way,Heard this on the Radio this evening as well,I said turn it up,Then I was songing along,I know all the words to this song as well,Sung it enough times on Karaokes as well
Yo estaba en high school cuando compre este disco en vinyl y no he parado de escucharlo . Te entiendo Horacio. Nunca te canses de escucharlo. Saludos a ti tambien.
+otisblueswelljr LOVED this way back in high school...even the first time I heard it in 1976 when Thelma Houston did it disco style. Just a great, timeless tune, if I do say so myself.
I was born in the wrong decade! would of loved to of been in my early 20's in the mid 80's! but i was 5!! Love 80's music the clothes.....the films!!! 80's everything!!
I was in my 20's in the 80's and believe me you would've loved it, it was a brilliant decade. Some may disagree but that's the norm, but for me the music was the best. People had social skills and manners.
All of those empty dock buildings in the east end of London in the video are now luxury apartments or offices. You'd have to be rich to live there now.
Learned a few moves from watching this amazing vid. I totally miss the 80's in LA and London. What a great group. Love the extended version. Amazing and unequaled falsetto, in my opinion. Let's dance!
WOW!! I just had the high point of my day! I never knew this version of the song existed until a few minutes ago. How have I never heard of this? I'm not sure I ever even heard of the group. It may be decades late but better late than never! The talent and energy here is spectacular. Thank you for posting this Diamondblade1008. Thank you, Communards, for this brilliant performance in this outstanding video.
Martha es que esta cancion es para tocarla duro full volumen. El bajo, la bateria, los vientos los teclados y las voces de Jimmy Sommervile y de la chica hermosa esta es una combinacion increible. La voy a poner de nuevo!!!! Abrazo y muchas cosas lindas en este nuevo dia. Te puedo recomendar Ameno de un grupo llamado Era. Dime que piensas si es que es nuevo para ti.
I first heard the version of Thelma Houston's rendition as a kid and liked it because it was catchy; I didn't even know this version existed until last year. It is no better or worse than Houston's; I haven't heard the original that featured Teddy Pendergrass but I figure it has to be at least as good, right?
great happiness back 87` so proud of our country that have come to together! # nhs , carers , emergency services & associated staff working their balls off! we salute you..# THANK YOU
My favourite part of Moulin Rouge movie is when Ewan McGregor sang "Don't leave me this way..." Man I really miss the 80s. Uyyyy! Ke padre cancion me recuerda mucho a mi hermano como le gustaba...saludos hermano (Eddie)...
Perhaps I may not be moving on a dance floor to be near me, but this song moves me to do some nice things to other people, as they do not live with me.🙂

This song is better than whole decade of 2010s
Since about 2005 it's been pure rubbish.

MY FAVOURITE VERSION OF THIS SONG IS THELMA HOUSTON'S (CAME OUT IN THE LATE 70'S) BUT THIS VERSION IS ALMOST AS GOOD
this is euro pop...Thelma was more soul-black
I agree! This was a big disco hit for her in 1976, esp. in gay dance clubs.
Uh yeah, I like both. why compare??? Thelma Houston wins hands down but give Sommerville his props!
