Keep On Dancing (The Gentrys Song)
"Keep On Dancing" is a rock song written by Allen A. Jones, Andrew Love and Richard Shann, originally recorded by the U.S. R&B group, The Avantis (not to be confused with the surf rock band with the same name) on Argo Records in 1963. The Gentrys cover In 1965, the song was covered by The Gentrys. The Gentrys' version was first released on Youngstown 601 in 1965, but was soon nationally distributed by MGM Records. "Keep On Dancing" is notable for the fact that it is actually one short recording repeated in order to stretch the record out to the length of the typical pop single of its day. The second part of the song (after the false fade, beginning with Gentrys drummer Larry Wall's drum fill) is the same as the first. Although the Gentrys usually had Jimmy Hart and Bruce Bowles as singers, the band's guitarist, Larry Raspberry, sang lead vocals on the song. Chart performance and sales "Keep On Dancing" reached No. 4 in 1965 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart on October 30. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Songs About Dancing
A song is a musical composition performed by the human voice. The voice often carries the melody (a series of distinct and fixed pitches) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs have a structure, such as the common ABA form, and are usually made of sections that are repeated or performed with variation later. A song without instruments is said to be a cappella. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in the classical tradition, it is called an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally by ear are often referred to as folk songs. Songs composed for the mass market, designed to be sung by professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows, are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are o ...

List Of One-hit Wonders In The United States
A one-hit wonder is a musical artist who is successful with one hit song, but without a comparable subsequent hit. The term may also be applied to an artist who is remembered for only one hit despite other successes. This article contains artists known primarily for one hit song in the United States, who are regarded as one-hit wonders by at least two sources in media even though the artist may have had multiple hits abroad. Criteria Music reviewers and journalists sometimes describe a musical artist as a one-hit wonder, based on their professional assessment of chart success, sales figures, and fame. For the purpose of his 2008 book ''One-Hit Wonders'', music journalist Wayne Jancik defines a one-hit wonder as "an act that has won a position on ''Billboard''s national, pop, Top 40 just once." In his definition of an "act", Jancik distinguishes between a solo performer and a group performance (thus, for example, Roger Daltrey's " Without Your Love" is counted despite Daltrey's ...
