Lyrics:
I don't want to be the kind to hesitate
Be too shy, wait to late
I don't care what they say other lovers do
I just want to dance with you
I got a feeling that you have a heart like mine,
So let it show, let it shine
Oh, if we have change to make one heart of two
Then I just want to dance with you
I want to dance with you
Twirl you all around the floor
That's what they invented dancing for,
I just want to dance with you
I want to dance with you
Hold you in my arms once more
That's what they invented dancing for,
I just want to dance with you
I caught you lookin' at me when I looked at you
Yes, I did, ain't that true
You won't get embarrassed by the things I do
I just want to dance with you
Oh, the boys are playing softly and the girls are too
So am I, and so are you
If this was a movie then we're right on cue
I just want to dance with you
Ending:
I just want to dance with you
I just want to dance with you
I just want to dance with you
Singer. Songwriter. Poet. Icon.
John Prine was an artist’s artist with a list of admirers and collaborators that cut across musical genres and generations - names like Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Brandi Carlile, George Strait, Kurt Vile, Miranda Lambert, The Everly Brothers, Emmylou Harris, among others.
Though he was born in Maywood, Illinois, in 1946, John declared himself “pure Kentuckian” throughout his life. His parents, Willian and Verna, were natives of Paradise, Kentucky. The family would spend summers there in Muhlenberg County, where John listened to bluegrass music and studied the guitar styles of country music heroes Doc Watson and Merle Travis with his older brother, Dave.
In Maywood, he worked as a postman before being drafted into the army in 1966. It was as a postman that John began to write the songs that would connect with so many. He sang at Chicago folk clubs, where he was introduced to singer-songwriter Kris Kristopherson, who invited John to open for him in New York. It was there that Jerry Wexler, president of Atlantic Records, first heard Prine and offered him a recording contract. His self-titled debut album was released in 1971 and featured a list of songs now regarded as classics, including “Paradise,” “Angel From Montgomery,” “Illegal Smile,” Hello in There,” and “Sam Stone.” Prine received the first of his 13 Grammy nominations in 1972 for Best New Artist. He would record three more albums for Atlantic and another three with Asylum.
His profound impact on American music was amplified in 1981 when John co-founded Oh Boy Records, and independent label where he released most of his subsequent work and which gave voice and respect to so many fellow singers and songwriters.
In his distinguished career, John won four Grammys and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award (2020). He was a three-time recipient of the Artist of the Year Award at the Americana Music Honors & Awards, which also honored him with the Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting. He won the Pen/New England Song Lyrics of Literary Excellence Award (2016) and was enshrined in the Songwriters Hall of Fame (2019). In addition, John was named Honorary Poet Laureate of Illinois (2020).
John Prine passed away on April 7, 2020 due to complications from Covid-19. The outpouring of grief and love from his fan community was staggering. Over 500,000 viewers participated in an online memorial and tribute that raised more than half a million dollars for Covid-related community causes. In 2021, the Prine family created the Hello In There Foundation to honor John’s spirit of generosity towards those in need. Fiona Prine and her sons continue to operate and expand the reach of John’s independent record label, Oh Boy Records.

My wife and I had a band at our wedding, I asked them to learn this song for our first dance and they did, RIP John
30 years ago, this was our "first dance". Glad there are some others dancing into matrimony.
JP died today. And I learned this song tonight. Singing it a crying. Thank you JP.
This truly was "The day the music died!" So sad!
Married my husband in 97. This was our song.
The Heart of Music is broken today 💔 R.I.P. John
Most stars and celebtities do not affect me much. Wife and I had the pleasure of seeing a concert of his about 2 years ago.
When I read of his death I bawled. Great writer and musician and from what I have read a very good guy.
I did not spell the plural of celebrity corrrectly. Sorry
You are Absolutely Right.
...... The Heart of Music is Broken.
@@daraardeshir8774 Disagree, music is better than ever. You just need to search it out and don't listen to commercial radio.
I’ve listened to John for over 40 years. He’s timeless. Amazing man, amazing words. Going to miss you sir. Rest in Paradise #covid19sucks
REST IN LOVE JOHN PRINE!!!!
Johns great friend Philip Donnelly playing those little guitar licks, they passed within months of each other. RIP Both ❤
In a sad way, at 78, I only recently discovered John. Brilliant Mostly Happy songs. Just learning all his words. Loving it….
"You know, sometimes I write happy songs, then sometimes little things go wrong, you know I wish they all could make you smile..." Prine was probably attracted to these lyrics from Blaze Foley because he understood them so well.
@@CaperJake Welcome to the John Prine universe!. Almost nothing can go wrong there, but there's a lot to learn about from John's poetry! Long may your joy continue as a John Prine fan!
John is immortal as long as we love his music.
said VERY WELL!
mankind owes John for his contribution to our world of melodic music, RIP John!
RIP John Prine
I had no idea that he wrote this! Love the song, beautiful performance
So romantic. Didn’t know his music much before he passed but all the tributes & love have opened my eyes -heart, too! A really authentic guy he was!
I've learned SO much about John, Steve Goodman and many others who have written great songs that we think the singing artist wrote but didn't. Just think if Arlo Guthrie had never sang City of New Orleans that Steve Goodman wrote. Johnny Cash turned that one down lol,, Gone but never to be forgotten,!
I’ve known this song for years. I never realised John Prine wrote it. Part of my life. John Mannion. 🤔😎.
Absolutely beeeeeeeutiful. My wife and I danced around living room to JOHN PRINE. can't do that to Dylan....roll back the rug.....MMMMM. M MMMM...one mo gin !
One of my favorite Prine tunes😍❣❣❣ You're the best John!
This is my favourite John Prine song.
Wow, the things we learn AFTER they are gone :(, So many major artist owe so much to writers like John Prine,, Steve Goodman, and so many others,, They sing the songs and WE think, What a great song they just sang and NEVER realizing,, they didn't write it,, someone else did... RIP all you song writers who are NEVER recognized and Thank you!
Five months after losing JP, I still feel the emence loss. RIP and dance off the stage once again!
Talk about catchy tune!...well done John....sleep well.
R.I.P John
Beautiful. Rest in paradise John

Roger Cook and Sam Bush and all... super stuff

John you rule

Co-written with Roger Cook - what a combination!
Ive listened to George Strait sing this and love it. Didn't know John prine had it first. Just discovered JP a couple of years ago. Enjoyed this version too.
did song played on country station before strait version??
john prine and roger cook
tropical too
Who is singing with John? I swear it sounds like Jimmy.
I can’t find the words...
Roger Cook cowriter and vocals
After much research, I'm certain this is Roger Cook and John Prine.
Anyone know who the other vocalist is - I've seen a reference to Alan O'Bryant, and another to Sam Bush on 'harmony vocal'?
@Zack Wolfe Third time lucky. Thanks Zack.
I believe it's Roger Cook who co-wrote this song with John.
It sounds kind of like Buffett
Jimmy Buffett.
@@seanmcdonnell9150 Thanks. I was pretty sure..
Who is trading verses with John?
What’s the other song that’s sounds like the start of this song?
Who is singing with him on this song
🖒
prine could make do this song sound foreign
Jus dants wif yew
tex-mex
song
from prine to strait same melody
The other singer sounds like Jimmy Buffet.
I think it is Roger Cook the cowriter of the song

Who was the other vocalist. Sounds like Jimmy Buffett
The album only lists Alan O'Bryant as the only other Vocalist. Hes a rather famous Banjo player and has a wonderful voice. Doesn't sound like him, but I only know him bluegrass "twang", not smooth voice like this. He cut You are my sunshine for the O Brother, Where Art Thou movie.
Roger Cook I thought
@@keithallen2791 Yep I think you are spot on. I totally forgot he co wrote it with John. Strange they didn't credit him because its a wonderful vocal.
I think it might be Marty Stuart
ua-cam.com/video/nsTwI9FRDUE/v-deo.html
he cooked up the to do it
All I can say is Ww
The tune is reminiscent of The Everly's 'Claudette'.
I can't find it at the moment but I've read before that Claudette was the direct inspiration for this
The f off is mutual
RIP John Prine
