He was born Thomas Charles Bruce, in Stepney, London. Both his parents died when he was a child and he grew up in an orphanage, later working as a van driver in Covent Garden Market before undertaking National Service in Belgium.
Returning to London in 1959, and working again as a market porter, he became a friend of his neighbour, songwriter Barry Mason. Mason suggested he record a version of the song "Ain't Misbehavin'", written by Fats Waller, in a style similar to "Chantilly Lace", a recent hit single by the Big Bopper. Produced by Norrie Paramor and released on Columbia Records, Bruce's recording rose to number 3 in the UK Singles Chart in 1960. He had no musical training, and described his own "sandpaper and gravel" singing voice with a strong London accent as "diabolical".
The Mission Snipers are a professional roller hockey team based out of New York who competes in Pro tournaments across North America.
2015:
The summer started in Detroit, MI at Torhs Nationals. The Snipers added another Championship to their resume with a win over the Alkali Assault in the Championship. The team went undefeated during the tournament and Shane Fox really showed the roller hockey world why he is one of the top players in the sport. Fox and Sigmund played lights out all tournament and Troy Redmann proved once again to be the best goaltender the US has to offer. The Snipers were also $12,000 richer!
After TORHS was over a lot of the players went over to Finland for the IIHF Inline World Championships in Tampere. PJ Kavaya, Shane Fox, David Makowski, Nathan Sigmund, Greg Thompson, Pat Cannone, and Troy Redmann all represented the United States.
However, the tournament of the year was State Wars 11. State Wars Hockey had the best Pro Division the sport has seen in a long long time. The Pama Pro Invitational was very unique and only allowed teams who were invited to play at the tournament. The Snipers had a tough round robin but squeaked into the playoffs as a 6th seed, taking down every team that go in their way! First the Bauer Bordercats, then the Pama Cyclones. In the finals the Snipers took down Alkali RPD and were awarded $20,000 and the right to call themselves the best team in the US.
"Two Left Feet" is the first single from the North London indie group The Holloways. It debuted at #33 in the UK charts. It has been included in The Holloways' debut album, So, this is Great Britain?. It has been re-released on 24 September 2007 but it was only to chart at #74 that time.
Track listing
"Two Left Feet"
"London Town"
"Sound of the Sunshine"
Other songs on different versions of the single are:
"Aspirin"
"Hallelujah I Love Her So"
A limited press of the 7" vinyl single were signed by all members of the band before release
Based on David Stuart Leslie's novel, Two Left Feet is a story about Alan Crabbe (Michael Crawford) a callow youth desperate for a date with any girl who can offer him the experience he lacks. Every time Alan tries a manful stride into the jungle of sex, his two left feet turn the attempt into a trip-and-stumble. Then he meets Eileen (Nyree Dawn Porter), the new waitress at the corner cafe, and some sparks begin to fly.
Behind the scenes
At the time of its cinema release it was given an X Certificate (and given a 15 Rating when released on video in 1994).
Baker's expectations were high, hoping to attract a wide popularity on the basis of the film being aimed at a young audience, with most the film's leading players being under 21 years of age, but his hopes were dashed because of difficulties obtaining a release - none of the actors at the time were stars, the film received an X Certificate, and it was eventually released on a poorly promoted Double bill, after a delay of two years being left on the shelf.

The Boys Does Nothing - Alesha Dixon - w/lyrics
I got a man with two left feet
And when he dances down to the beat
I really think that he should know
That his rhythms go go go
I got a man with two left feet
And when he dances down to the beat
I really think that he should know
That his rhythms go go go
CHORUS
Does he wash up? Never wash up
Does he clean up? No, he never cleans up
Does he brush up? Never brushed up
He does nothing the boy does nothing
(Repeat chorus)
Hey boy how you been?
I got a thousand lines
Where do I begin?
And II been here, been there
Traveling
I saw you at the corner
My vibe kicked in
And
Two fields
I clock you
Wearing tight jeans
A real nice suit
He was smiling like you
Was just seventeen
I asked him for a dance
He said 'yes please'
Take a sip of dancing juice
Everybody's onto you
Through the left and to the...

I got a man with two left feet
And when he dances down to the beat
I really think that he should know
That his rhythms go go go
I got a man with two left feet
...
I got a man with two left feet
And when he dances down to the beat
I really think that he should know
That his rhythms go go go
I got a man with two left feet
And when he dances down to the beat
I really think that he should know
That his rhythms go go go

Does he wash up? Never wash up
Does he clean up? No, he never cleans up
Does he brush up? Never brushed up
He does nothing the boy does nothing

Was just seventeen
I asked him for a dance
He said 'yes please'
Take a sip of dancing juice
Everybody's onto you
Through the left and to the right
Everybody hit the rhythm
It's on tonight
I'm gonna feel the heat within my soul
I need a man to take control
Let the melody blow you all away
CHORUS
Does he wash up? Never wash up
Does he clean up? No, he never cleans up
Does he brush up? Never brushed up
He does nothing the boy does nothing
(Repeat chorus)
Work it out now
Work it, Work it out now
Do the mumbo
Shake it all around now
Everybody on the floor
Let me see you clap your hands
I wanna see you work
I wanna see you move your body in turn
I wanna see you shake your hips and learn
I wanna see you work it, work it, work it out now
I wanna see you work
I wanna see you move your body in turn
I wanna see you shake your hips and learn
I wanna see you work it, work it, work it out now
CHORUS
Does he wash up? Never wash up
Does he clean up? No, he never cleans up
Does he brush up? Never brushed up
He does nothing the boy does nothing
(Repeat chorus)
And if the man can't dance, he gets no second chance
I got a man with two left feet
And when he dances down to the beat
I really think that he should know
That his rhythms go go go
I got a man with two left feet
And when he dances down to the beat
I really think that he should know
That his rhythms go go go
