The Martyn Ford Orchestra - Let Your Body Go Downtown Horny
Review by Jon Jolly
The Martyn Ford Orchestra has released their latest album, Let Your Body Go Downtown Horny. The album is a collection of funky and groovy tracks that will make you want to dance all night long. The orchestra has done a great job of blending different genres of music to create a unique sound that is both nostalgic and modern.
The album starts off with "Horny," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. It's a fun and upbeat song that will get your body moving. "Shake It" is another track that will make you want to dance. The horn section is particularly impressive on this track, and the rhythm section keeps the beat going strong.
"Get Down" is a slower track that still manages to be groovy. The orchestra does a great job of building up the tension in the song, and the payoff is worth it. "Downtown" is another standout track that has a great melody and catchy lyrics.

Although certainly better than others, another "homegrown" ruined by the TOTP orchestra!

I remember this single getting plugged a lot on the radio 1 breakdast show. I still have a copy of the single somewhere. It charted at 38 in the top 40. This video was its only appearance on TOTP as a new chart entry. Even at the time I thought it was the poor bbc production of the track including the sceaching backing vocals as the reason it disappeared from the chart by the next week.

The song was written by Lynsey de Paul and Mike Moran, who also wrote the follow-up single "Going to a Disco" which failed to reach the UK chart in the summer of 1977.
