Length: 2:21 Matrix No: 7 XCA 26 205 Composer B: Bruce Welch - Hank Marvin Length: 2:32 Matrix No: 7 XCA 26 206 Location: Abbey Road Studios, London Recording Date: 1962-11-21 Musicians: Hank Marvin (lg) Bruce Welch (rg) Brian Locking (bg) Brian Bennett(drms) from: A pocket Guide to Shadow Music - Malcolm Campbell Issued towards the end of 1962 just in time for the Christmas market, DANCE ON! headed the chart by 24 January 1963, thereby becoming the group’s fourth chart-topper. The boys had heard a vocal demo and realised the melody’s potential (Kathy Kirby would record a powerful vocal rendition which charted in August 1963; see further on [74] below). The number was penned by The Avons, who had had a Top 3 hit in 1959 with the novelty number ‘Seven Little Girls Sitting In The Back Seat’ and a trio of minor hits subsequently. It was a hummable, danceable melody nicely underpinned by ‘Licorice’ Locking’s firm but smooth bass playing. The flipside: The Shadows had an encounter with Hellenic culture during the making of the movie ‘Summer Holiday’, entering into the spirit of things by sporting national dress (“... like a cross between a Daz white kilt and a Dior creation” in the words of a dapper Cliff Richard). Here the obligatory bouzoukis are wheeled out. |
