Trivia from Pop Culture Trivia
Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard chose the 1984 popular song, Footloose to perform in the 80’s celebration of their Timeless Tour. It was a big hit to the audiences when the stage turned into a fun party, filled with excitement, fun, dancing and, of course, great music.
The song, Footloose was nominated for an Academy Award For Best Music – Original Song…and a Golden Globe in the same category.
I hope you enjoy the video of Clay and Ruben performing…Footloose!
Another performance to make you smile!!!
This was one tour that I didn’t see at all – I am so sorry about that.! Made plans to go but it never worked out. I have enjoyed all of the videos and pictures over the years and I am glad about that. Thank you for this video and pics. Loved Clay talking about Ruben and how they became such wonderful friends! Clay and Ruben should write a book about their story and memories!
I hope Clay and Ruben sing together soon! And yes! I book would be great! Thanks for posting!
