    In 1973, when we had a hit with Sherman Kelly's Dancing on the Moonlight, it was unimaginable to think that four generations of listeners around the world would be enjoying the song 20 years into the next century!. Toploader brought Dancing in the Moonlight into the 21st century where it is now firmly established as one of the most successful songs to come out of the 70s. Kudos to them.

    My Dad loved this song and it was played at his funeral service as the last song. And it still manages to make me smile, even though I thought it'd hurt to listen to it afterwards. It's a great song and my Dad had great taste in music.

    I worked on this video. It was a mad shoot. We had to clear out an entire house in New Cross. It was about an 18 hour day if I remember. The video still looks great to this day. I remember the director loved those fairy lights and put them all over the place. I spent a lot of the time encouraging people to dance on the top floor to keep the vibe going :) Those were the days, hanging out with fashion models and going to wild parties - another lifetime :) This is the first time I have actually watched the whole video! I worked on so many back in the day but I remember this one.

It was so beautiful and for once in awhile, I felt like there’s nothing to worry about and I wanted to remember this moment as long as I can.

      This is exactly why it was written in the first place, in fact it's quite a sad story. Writer of the original, Sherman Kelly says; "On a trip to St. Croix in 1969, I was the first victim of a vicious 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."

    song is very special to me. When I was in the fourth grade our school was participating in a field hockey tournament in the next town. I took the transport the school provided, seeing as my family hadn't owned a car at the time. After the tournament was finished me and 2 other of my teammates were the only ones taking the bus home. Our driver the coach took us to McDonald's and told us we could have anything we wanted. On our way back this song came on the radio and we sang and enjoyed ourselves very much.

    In this absurdly hot Italian summer night, I'm listening to this song, chills running through my body, bawling my eyes out because of this song and what it reminds me. When I was a kid, 10 years ago there was a tv ad about an Italian drink called estathè and this song played in the background. Everytime i watched it on tv I used to feel incredibly happy to be alive. It was about the first experiences of a lifetime and pictured the perfect Italian summer with you know vespa, friends, parties at the beach at night and so on. I don't know, it just felt the best time of one's life, it struck me deeply at the point that even today 10 years passed and when I hear this song i immediately remember those times, when being a kid with no trouble, no anxiety and when I lived those awesome moments. This song is so nostalgic that it actually hurts. Too many memories. It's so meaningful and will be my all time favorite summer song for the rest of my life.

    [Lyrics]
    We get it on most every night
    When that moon is big and bright
    It's a supernatural delight
    Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
    Everybody here is out of sight
    They don't bark and they don't bite
    They keep things loose, they keep 'em tight
    Everybody was dancing in the moonlight
    *Dancing in the moonlight*
    *Everybody's feeling warm and bright*
    *It's such a fine and natural sight*
    *Everybody's dancing in the moonlight*
    We like our fun and we never fight
    You can't dance and stay uptight
    It's a supernatural delight
    Everybody was dancing in the moonlight
    *Dancing in the moonlight*
    *Everybody's feeling warm and bright*
    *It's such a fine and natural sight*
    *Everybody's dancing in the moonlight*
    We get in on most every night
    And when that moon is big and bright
    It's a supernatural delight
    Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
    *Dancing in the moonlight*
    *Everybody's feeling warm and bright*
    *It's such a fine and natural sight*
    *Everybody's dancing in the moonlight*
    *(x5)*

    Stay safe everyone :)

    I've always said as a 90s guy that music started to decline after 2001, but this album makes me reconsider. Certainly, part of it is that some of it was created in the 90s and also, a lot of it is from the UK, a place that still managed to maintain some semblance of creativity and originality musically in the 2000s.

      @xXErnestoZedillo1994Xx " Sherman Kelly and some friends were running a nightclub in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, in 1969. One day, they decided to rent a 65-foot yacht and travel to St. Croix for the day. Unbeknownst to him at the time, Kelly was prone to seasickness, and he and his girlfriend got really seasick on the crossing.
      When the group arrived in St. Croix, those onboard took a dingy to shore to look for some dinner. But Kelly and his girlfriend were both still sick and weren’t interested in eating at that point.
      The group got its food and decided to head back to the boat to spend the night. Kelly and his girlfriend looked out into the harbor and saw the boat’s mast swaying back and forth, and instead opted to stay in town overnight rather than risk more seasickness on the boat.
      There was only one problem: Due to his extreme seasickness and disorientation, Kelly had left his wallet on the boat and had no money or credit cards for a hotel. The two went to a small inn, explained the situation to the innkeeper and offered to settle up in the morning when Kelly could return to the boat to retrieve his wallet.
      “And he said, ‘Sure, you can stay here if your girlfriend will sleep with me,’” said Kelly in a telephone interview from his home in the Finger Lakes region of New York.
      After being turned down at a second inn, Kelly’s girlfriend said, “It’s a beautiful night. Why don’t we just stretch out on the beach?”
      “So we did,” said Kelly. “And that’s all I remember very clearly.”
      What happened after that was pieced together through bits of Kelly’s own memory and the recollections of other people. According to those accounts, while sleeping on the beach, Kelly and his girlfriend were the victims of a vicious St. Croix street gang. Kelly was severely beaten by five gang members wielding baseball bats. His girlfriend was raped by the gang leader and the rest were in line. But Kelly’s girlfriend later reported, that Kelly regained consciousness during the attack and fought back, making enough noise to scare off the attackers.
      With Kelly drifting in and out of consciousness, the two managed to follow the lights along the shore, eventually making their way to the only St. Croix hospital. Kelly and his girlfriend were thought to be among the first victims of the notorious Fountain Valley Gang, who in 1972 murdered eight tourists and wounded eight more thereby devastating St. Croix tourism for many years.
      “I woke up to the sound of my hospital roommate screaming in pain. Finally the screaming stopped and I heard two doctors talking about him. ‘That’s it, he’s gone,’ said one doctor about the other patient. ‘What about him, you think he’s gonna make it?’ And the other doctor said, ‘No, I doubt it.” I realized they were talking about me,” said Kelly.
      Kelly did make it, though. He spent several days in the St. Croix hospital, eventually returning to St. Thomas, where he stayed at a friend’s house while he recovered. Eventually he was healthy enough to get back to New York, where doctors at New York Hospital were able to re-break and re-set the bones in his face and address his other injuries.
      Returning to his home in Ithaca, New York, still in pain and with constant headaches, Kelly was in no shape to be in a band. But that didn’t prevent him from writing songs.
      And it was during this period of convalescence that he began to write some verses for a song, verses that would later become the lyrics for “Dancing in the Moonlight.”
      “I envisioned an alternate reality, the dream of a peaceful and joyous celebration of life. It was just me imagining a better world than the one I had just experienced in St. Croix,” said Kelly.
      An unspeakably traumatic experience that almost cost him his life had turned into a beautiful song.
      “It was amazing. People liked the song right from the start. I liked it, but I wouldn’t have predicted that it would become a big hit,” said Kelly. "

      This cover is paint by numbers “make a caucasian hit” by taking something original or groundbreaking from Black culture, e.g., rock & roll/the beatles, the r&b/hiphop into pop of the 90s, and all of jazz, and removing everything of its cultural import until it is en-blanded for the mainstream to somehow find success because record companies promote white artists far more.
      can you identify anything significant this cover did to transform this song other than apply the top pop 100’s styling? every part is worse, stolen, and much more inauthentic.
