Michael Henderson- Wide Receiver 1981 (Funk/Dance Music)

Anyone else remember this? I used to fall out on the dance floor to this one. Widely played in Chicago's gay clubs in the early eighties, I recall it was sometimes paired up with the earworm "Super Bowl Shuffle" in 1985.

The 12 inch single is somewhere in my garage.

*There you go, Myrna!*

You've provided proper documentation and end notes, sir. Yowza, I can smell the poppers from here.

I won an early Checker 45 of this song at a bingo game in the Happy Room of LaRabida on the lake.
