Rare Watts should have won

You remember the Rare Watts from the days of the 'Win a Car Dance Competition' back in 1990, the three well-built, Maasai-shuka clad guys who could really boogie. I totally loved the way the got down to 'Dirty Cash', 'I've been thinking about you' and Black Box's 'Ride on Time'. The was a way they just ran away with it, or so I thought. Apparently, the judges felt that Jam City in their super-shiny outfits did a better job. Nonetheless, the Rare Watts are indelible in the memories of many Kenyans.

    Brought some good old memories.The 'Rare Watts' were really a pleasant to watch. I remember in the 90's when I was so excited to watch them break the bones. To me they were an evolution to the costume vs the dance.
