Van McCoy ft. Pan's People - Do The Hustle 1975

Top Of The Pops was a weekly run-through of the charts on BBC1

In the days before pop videos, many acts, especially overseas ones, couldn't make it for the taping.

One solution was for Pan's People to dance to the song.

When @rexchapman put this on the bird site nearly all of the comments were around the lines of, "Don't know what they're doin' - but it ain't The Hustle!"

OK, so it turned out that Tony Dortie did the "one for the (gran)dads" 30-odd years before the #TOTP repeats got live-followed on social media. #PansPeople
