You guys are still fantastic!! You sound the same as before. Brings back a lot of good and bad memories, but still love this song!!❤❤

[@CBELLA952]

I LOVE THIS SONG ! I can’t stop listening over and over again, louder each time. Brings back feelings of innocence, memories. This was a good era in music. The harmony back then was perfection. I’m really emotional right now. I want to be back in that place, in that time.

This song always brings tears to my eyes wondering why the message in this song can't be embraced by all of humanity

[@Nitromessiah]

you do know it was written because of a massive brutal attack and rape, right?? THAT is your humanity.

@@froggysandwich1373 Literally in the singer/writer’s bio and interviews about the creation of this song years ago. They story of how this song came about is actually horrible for the writer/singer and his girlfriend, but his fight to recover from severe injuries led to him writing this and a wish that this was how the world was instead. Be chill, love and enjoy life. His interview about this kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHe5hohph5aUibM

[@willreaver2294]

“Sherman Kelly wrote the song in 1969.While recovering from a vicious attack by a gang, he "envisioned an alternate reality, the dream of a peaceful and joyful celebration of life".Kelly wrote:” “On a trip to St. Croix in 1969, I was the first victim of a vicious St. Croix gang who eventually murdered 8 American tourists. At that time, I suffered multiple facial fractures and wounds and was left for dead. While I was recovering, I wrote "Dancin In The Moonlight" in which I envisioned an alternate reality, the dream of a peaceful and joyful celebration of life. The song became a huge hit and was recorded by many musicians worldwide. "Dancin In The Moonlight" continues to be popular to this day.” “He recorded it singing lead with his band Boffalongo, who were active from 1968 to 1971, being the band's final single.”

[@ZL1Dnero]

I don't usually like covers, besides a few exceptions but wow this was amazing. You're all so talented

[@sprague49]

A cover? Technically perhaps but lets drill down a bit. "Dancing in the Moonlight" was written by Sherman Kelly, brother of Orleans founding member, Wells Kelly, who was also in King Harvest. Before Harvest had their hit, the song was recorded by the band Boffalongo, of which Orlean's lead singer Larry Hoppen was a founding member. IMO Orleans has as much a claim to "Dancing in the Moonlight" as King Harvest.

[@ZL1Dnero]

@@sprague49 cool

[@Hark815]

“Yep” to what sprague49 wrote - I heard Orleans version first and while I always liked the King Harvest release, I’ve always thought of their version as the cover. (I hadn’t heard Buffalongo’s version before Orleans so...)

Love, love, love this song!!!!

[@Hark815]

Well, this reminds me of Larry, and the early days of Orleans as a trio. Orleans’ version was the first I heard of this song and it rocked. But you can’t keep a good song down; Sherman Kelly got the hit via King Harvest (I love it when songwriters get paid!) and the song lives on with Orleans. RIP Larry Hoppen and Wells Kelly; long live John Hall & Lance Hoppen. Let there be music!

[@sprague49]

I love this arrangement. Lance handling the opening verse, with John taking over on the second. Then Dennis joins in on the chorus for that classic Orleans vocal blend. After the musical break, Lane's raspy tenor brings it all home on the third. I could almost see Larry, rest his soul, smiling down in approval and eager to join in on those glorious harmonies.
