Welcome to Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me on Sundays! This week’s theme is in honor of Driller’s upcoming Diamond Jubilee 75th birthday in a couple of week, he wants us to salute November born musicians by sharing some of their songs.
When I originally set this post up I used tomorrow’s date to find my artist. Leif Garrett turns 60 on Monday. I’ll be joining the 60s club next month. I remember Garrett as a TV actor but I couldn’t tell you what shows he was on. I took a glance at the TV series he was cast in and the only show I recall watching regularly in the mid-70s was Family. I don’t think that was the program that he caught my eye but I do recall his appearance in Tiger Beat magazine. I thought he was cute. It was his appearance in the 1975 TV drama Three for the Road which I didn’t watch that sparked the Tiger Beat spread. I think around the time Tiger Beat came out I was aware of Garrett’s singing career but I didn’t own any of his music and I’m not sure I even heard any of it before now. I was surprised to learn from Wiki that Garrett recorded eight albums between 1977-2009. YouTube has these two albums playlists from 1977 and 1979. Today, I’m sharing his entire 1978 Feel the Need album from which is most successful single I Was Made for Dancing peaked #10 in the USA.
Sadly, Leif Garrett’s life took a horrible downward spiral which I was reminded after I the article The Tragic Real-Life Story of Leif Garrett. I don’t know if he has his act together now but I hope so for his sake and for those who love him best. Thanks for going down memory lane with Leif Garrett with me. 😉

This is a mewsic linky party. Every other week we have a suggested mewsic theme (see side menu) to build your song set around and all participants share YouTube or Vimeo videos for our mewsic enthusiasts. Failure to meet this basic guideline puts your URL in danger of being removed or labeled – NO MUSIC.
Calling all 4Mers, I would love to have you as honorary co-host for a month next year. The calendar is beginning to fill. January, February, March, June, July, and December are now booked. If you’d like to pick a month then please email me now so I can hold your spot. That’s a wrap for now. I’m officially on vacation and will do my best to make return visits in a timely fashion. I plan to be back slaying things, hopefully, in Blogosphere once again on November 15. Until then, y’all take care and have a boogietastic week! X💋X💋, Cathy
