Disco Dessert 11/14/18 - "Get Up And Boogie" from Freddie James...

"Get Up And Boogie" was the biggest hit single for young singer Freddie James, who was only fourteen years old when this record was released. This song climbed to #5 on Billboard magazine's Disco/Dance Tracks chart in 1979. Freddie's mom, Geraldine Hunt, was also a singer, and she topped that same chart a year after her son with "Can't Fake The Feeling". Also, his sister Rosalind was one half of the duo Cheri, who reached the pop top-40 and again topped the dance chart for three weeks with "Murphy's Law" in 1982. "Get Up And Boogie" came from his debut LP of the same name. The track was a bigger hit in Europe, reaching #1 in Belgium, and #3 in the Netherlands, where this TV clip was aired. It never made the American pop chart, but it got to #24 in Canada...
