I feel like dancing today, even though the sun is barely up, I would like to start off my day with a *BANG!*
Featured song: "Dancing in the Street" by Martha and The Vandellas [1964] (Motown)
The first time I came across this song was in Whoopi Goldberg's movie, Sister Act 2. Although I heard the altered version first, I love the original one a wee bit more.
The song is known as the signature song of Martha and The Vandellas, and has been covered by many famous artists such as Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Dusty Springfield, The Kinks, Grateful Dead, Human Nature, and more. Even Van Halen and Little Richard has their own version of the song, which is really cool because it has survived many decades, and is still awesome to listen to.
Whose version have you heard? I have not listened to all of the versions of this song, but I am very content with it. Did you know that some people thought this song was "a call to riot"? LOL well, they had their reasons.
Now shall we dance?
