I love Orleans, always have, always will. Their harmonies are a hallmark of their music. You should really check out Still The One, it’s another huge hit of theirs. Great harmonies there also.❤🎼
This was a beautiful song and yes, everybody got on the Dance floor with a partner their biggest hit was still the one I believe it was NBC television that this was there advertising jingle
These guys sang their butts off! Stylistically this song is almost in a class by itself. There are elements of folk, country/ bluegrass (acoustic guitars, mandolins) and even R&B (What an incredible bass line!) Even compositionally, they didn't opt for the (uncreative) board fade, but concluded the song with a memorable ending. So glad to see the two of you digging this!
You should dig into some Seals and Crofts they did some really beautiful music! "Summer Breeze" I just love that song! Watch the official video from (1972) it's all about summer 😊
The opening motif, "Dance With Me" is very similar to the hook from "Dancing Queen" by ABBA with identical rhythm, tempo, notes and groove. Plus they are both feel good songs. That's where they part. It just means you've got a good ear to hear those similarities right off the bat...
yes indeed! this was one of the catchiest songs of the early to mid 70's! most of the tracks coming out of america had that west coast feel to them! eagles, america, doobies, isley bros version of summer breeze, steely dan & csn & y, etc!!!!
I mean no offense but there are no dots to connect. The two songs are very different. Are there snippets of the songs that sound a lot alike? Probably, but that's true for many songs.
As others have mentioned, their two other hits are "Still The One" and "Love Takes Time." This tune is off of their album "Let There Be Music" of which the title track is a hidden gem in my opinion, with a vibe similar to early Doobie Brothers.
I dug Orleans as soon as this came out - huge hit back then. Still the One is another sincere track - though it’s more uptempo - and as always their vocals are impeccable! …Love Takes Time is another uptempo hit. Larry Hoppen was the lead singer, and John Hall was the lead guitar and great harmony vocals.
That was the short (radio) version, the other version has a two measure solo and the bass is killer. One of the most difficult tunes I ever learned on the bass. Great pick!
@@robhansen6370 Interesting....and embarrassing, seeing as how I used to play a bit of melodica, back in the day. I thought it was a harmonica played on the higher notes.
If it does sound like dancing Queen it's not their fault because they produce this song and 75 dancing Queen come out by Abba in 1976 so maybe they are to look into this
This song along with Love Takes Time and Still The One were big hits for them in the 70's

I had a hard time choosing between this one & Still The One...great song!

It is such a comforting song and it never gets old no matter how many times I hear it! So glad seeing this reacted too and GREAT JOB!
This is the music I grew up on! Simply a fantastic song!!
Love this song! Next by Orleans - ‘Still the one’ ❤
Kids on't stop what you're doing. Your smile on faces and I just loving watching your reactions. Thanks for being a Channel
Dance with Me came out in 1974. Dancing Queen came out in 1976. You can connect the dots. LOL.

Thanks for that, was wondering who came first. Waaaaay too close to be coincidence on this one 😮
even the beatles copied other writers songs!!@@TheSuperSnake313

My God guy's I haven't heard this song in literally years! 😊
If you like their sound try Still The One also!
I have always loved this song. ❤️ And yes, it makes you want to dance under the stars. 💖

Morning y'all! I haven't heard this song in years, thanks for the memory 💞

I haven't heard this in 40+ years. Thanks
There's a LIVE vid of this that you should watch
I love the flow of this song
This is one of my soundtracks of life.
Recommending Kenny Loggins, song This is It. (1979) Michael McDonald is back up on LP. Kenny is an awesome live performer. :)
Fantastic Song!!! Still the One!! Also great!
One of the ones that lift you up and makes you move.
Orleans, is a town in New York state.
This was released in 75 Abba came out with dancing queen in 76.. I get what you're saying It's a similar beat at times
I knew this song, but I never knew who the artist was.
I love the song! Back from my first year in college. Ahhhhh!
Check out "Sailing" by Christopher Cross.
Staying on the subject of Orleans, I recommend "New Orleans Ladies" by LaRoux. Really great soft song from 1978.
Omg, @Connie Kat always picks the best tunes!❤
So sweet...thank you!
Lovely bit of harmonica in this song.
It's not a harmonica, the instrument used is called a melodica.

Omg im in the dentists office....the noise the noise 😂😂😂
Haven't seen a whole lot of reaction to New Orleans Ladies by Louisiana's LeRoux I really think you two would be a great reaction to it.
Atlanta rhythm section so into you
Love this song!!!

Such a smooth pronounced bass
