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!!!
I do remember 1984 – and all of the special events that you listed. Footloose was my favorite movie at that time. That video is one of my favorites, too! I always love watching it. As, always love the photos. Clay and Ruben have so much energy and it is very uplifting. Thank you for your choices.
Thank you for the pictures and the video. I love the pictures and the video. Footloose is a great song. Thank you CANN.
