Orleans, 'Dance With Me', 1975. 'I want to be your partner...'

Men with beards, playing acoustic guitars and singing earnestly. Yes, this is the 1970s and this is Orleans singing “Dance With Me.”

“Dance With Me” first appeared on the L.P. “Orleans II” (which only saw release in Japan and Europe) in 1974. The next year, the song appeared domestically on the album “Let There Be Music.” By October of 1975 it had risen to number 6 on the US Billboard charts. Kick back, pour yourself a Tab with rum and enjoy the mellow sounds. Happy Monday, man.
