Hands up, all of you who remember Tim Curry’s rock recording career in the late 70s. Now those of you who think I’m talking about the Rocky Horror Picture Show put your hands down again. Anyone left?
Don’t worry, I don’t either. I've heard him sing quite a lot in movies but it never crossed my mind to look for an album of his own work. Somehow I ended up with I Do the Rock. At first I didn’t care for it but I love Tim Curry so I put the song on my play list anyway. Every time it pops up I love it a little more. Finally, I’ve decided to see if I could dig up a video.
In truth, had the track not come with his name on it I would not have immediately pegged this as Tim Curry. It reminds me a bit of Plastic Bertrand’s Ça Plane Pour Moi of the same era. It’s very strange to me to think that those bygone days were thirty years ago. I wonder if Mr. Curry could still pull off I Do the Rock. Somehow, I suspect he could.
