Score Cue Snapshots! • Drama, Music, Romance, 07-Apr-2021
There is nothing more iconic than Kevin Bacon's journey to overturn a ban on dancing instituted by the efforts of a local minister, especially using Kenny Loggins' iconic tune 'Footloose' to do it. The track itself hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and received 1985 Academy Award nominations for Best Music (Original Song). "Footloose" also received a 1985 Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Original Song for a Motion Picture. Enjoy this blast from the past. We dare you not to get up and dance! ;)
