The Big Apple Songs: Dancing in the Street

Tweet

Hey, here’s a song that could have been on last month’s list, because it mentions New Orleans. No, that’s not why I chose it for the New York City list. I chose it because it’s a great song, and you’ll all be singing and dancing along. So let’s get moving! Dancing in the Street - Martha and the Vandellas See you tomorrow! Did you know that Marvin Gaye co-wrote this song? He was also the drummer on the song! There’s not a lot to say about this song, because (a) you’re too busy dancing to read anything I say; and, (b) this song speaks for itself. The joy of music making you move is summed up very nicely, thank you, in this marvelous tune. Dance along! Dancing in the Street Written by Marvin Gaye, Ivy Joe Hunter, and Mickey Stevenson Recorded by Martha and the Vandellas From Dancing Party, 1964 NYC LYRICS: In New York City, dancing in the street
