Sloopy Girl Smile
Steven Smith, who has helped me with my videos, was going through some pictures one day. He found a photo of me from 2010 and he said my smile was identical to the way I looked in the Sloopy Girl video. He believes that smile alone, no need for photo recognition, was all the evidence anyone needed to realize I was the Sloopy Girl. I think he’s right!
I performed my now famous "Sloopy Girl" dance in 1975. At the time, Rick Derringer, previously the front man for the McCoys who'd had the hit with the tune, was re-releasing "Hang On Sloopy" ten years after it had topped the pop charts. It was nearly 40 years later that by happenstance I finally saw my dance appear on YouTube. Since it has been on social media, the Sloopy dance video has been viewed more than 200 million times. I live in Tennessee these days and I look forward to communicating with my friends and fans by way of this website and at my "Sloopy Girl" YouTube channel.
Since you won the dance championship in 1974 at Gazzarri’s were you ever a member of the Gazzarri’s dance troupe or any other dance troupe? Also, were you familiar with any of the dance troupes on Great Britain’s BBC’s Top of the Pops?
Gary, danced a lot at Gazzarri’s in high school and after. The Gazzarri dance troupe had been disbanded a few years before I got to Gazzarris. I heard about it after the fact. I saw some of the British dancers on TV. That was all. Thanks for asking.
Still a beautiful smile and women.
I second that emotion.
That is a really nice smile. No doubt about you being the sloopy dancer.
