      Same boat. These bands have saved a lot of young lives. Back then being gay meant hate, sadness, and aids related deaths. I count mine among them.
      It also filled the dance floor for decades.

    This came out in '86 the same time I met my husband Gareth. We had 34yrs together. I lost him to pancreatic cancer in 2020 at 58yrs old. This song takes me back there. Love you Gar. Miss you love. He didn't want to leave me this way.......❤❤

    In the 80s My sister was the coolest person I knew. She listened to this song, and introduced me to Rage on ABC tv . We lived in a small town in western Queensland, Australia. This song reminds me of the cherished parts of our otherwise abusive childhood. Set me free!🙂 best song ever! Here we are in 2022

      The same with me, Owen. I grew up with the worst excuse of a father who prefered his gambling and drinking over getting off his BIG lardarse backside to go out to work and provide for his wife and 3x son's. He was always a vile man that as i've become older, wiser and knowing that i've given my 4x son's all the love and respect that they deserve so much and my son's make me and my wife so proud, every single day. My father was violent, abusive and evil in mine and my 2x brothers lives as we grew up but once i turned 16 i was outta there as fast as i could. I took the decision to cut my father and mother right out of my life a long time ago and i'm so glad i did. They don't deserve to see how well my son's have become such amazing young men.

    The Communards - Don’t Leave Me This Way.
    This is such an iconic song. Jimmy has got a great personality and outs his everything in this song.
    It never fails to make me Happy 😃 It’s full of energy. It makes you want to dance 💃 and sing too (in a terrible way) but who’s listening 👂??? anyway.
    Great 👍
    Fantastic, in fact.

    When I bought the album The Age of Consent, I read the album info and was so naïve back then. I was shocked how far behind some countries were. I actually had no idea. Since then the world has moved on (and me too) thank goodness. Jimmy Sommerville has such a great voice and his music is absolutely timeless.

    I listened to this song from a double audio cassette "Now We are 8," pinched from the glove compartment of a VW Passat driven by my father's coworker. Although I am technically a child of the 90s, now nearly 45, this song made such a big impression on me as a 12 year old growing up in Nigeria, without a mum (at that period in my life) nor a sibling, and zero access to music.

    "Don't Leave Me This Way" is a song written by Kenneth Gamble, Leon Huff, and Cary Gilbert. It was originally released in 1975 by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes featuring Teddy Pendergrass, an act signed to Gamble & Huff's Philadelphia International label. "Don't Leave Me This Way" was subsequently covered by American singer Thelma Houston in 1976 and British duo the Communards in 1986, with both versions achieving commercial success.

      Man I miss the 80's and dancing at The Saloon in Minneapolis. The dance floor was always packed and people just sang right along to it!
