  1. Easily the most beautiful track with most poetic, heart wrenching lyrics is “For A Friend”. All these years later, still can’t listen to it without becoming emotional.

  2. my absolute favourite of Jimmy’s is as it goes the first I heard of him – “Coming”, performed in the final of “Orlando”. this song is just amazing – rythmic, soothing and epic. love it!

  3. Favourite?? So hard to choose!!

    Fave Bronski Beat: Ain’t Necessarily So
    Great take on this standard. Makes it uniquely Jimmy!

    Fave Communards: Dont Leave Me This Way!
    Everything about this!! Takes me back to dancefloor heaven, punching the air with Jimmy singing aaaah BABY! Then that amazing piano break. Stellar.

    Fave Jimmy solo: Read My Lips
    Impossible not to dance to :) Love it, and indeed the rest of that album!

    Fave Prize? Why, oddly enough, it would be this 2CD/DVD Jimmy/Bronski/Communards dance and rarities set! :)

    Thanks!

  4. I feel love / Johnny Remember Me – great track with Mark Almond. Remember being shown the 12″ at a house party. Been looking for it on CD ever since….

  5. DISENCHANTED – As a young gay boy in the early 80’s, I cried and cried and cried listening to this song. It’s message helped me immeasurably. I could even say it saved my life. I will be forever grateful.

  6. Don’t Leave Me This Way. Driving to the south of France with my parents and brother in the late 80s with two cassettes in the cassette player: Paul Simon’s Graceland and a compilation tape that started with Don’t Leave Me This Way. Whenever I hear that song it takes me back to that wonderful holiday.

  7. Smalltown Boy will be THE classic forever but Bronski Beat’s version of It Ain’t Necessarily So is my fave for this season. Each year. Still.

  8. I am a rocker at heart but there is no denying the man’s talent, catchy grooves with such songs as Bronski Beat’s Smalltown Boy and Don’t leave me this way. Also one of the first openly homosexual singer/songwriter/artist to be out there performing. It must not have been easy for this man at that time. Power to him. And yes, I would certainly appreciate this CD/DVD.

  9. Although I really like “Smalltown Boy”, my favorite is “It Ain’t Necessarily So”. If Gershwin was alive, I’m sure he would appreciate Jimmy’s version.

  10. Favourite Jimmy! Where do I start? Bronski has to be Smalltown Boy, Communards is Tomorrow and solo is To Love Somebody.
    Tomorrow is fave if I have to pick one.
    Great site!

  11. Jimmy Somerville You Are My World……well not really, but I do like that song , and I also know that it was sung by the Communards and not Jimmy on his own.

  12. “Puit d’Amour” is my favorite vocal by Jimmy, “Infatuation/Memories” my favorite song(s) other than his signature, “Smalltown Boy”.
