King Harvest - Dancing in the Moonlight (2023 Stereo Remaster)
“Dancing in the Moonlight“ is a song written by Sherman Kelly, originally recorded in 1970 by Kelly’s band Boffalongo, and then a hit single by King Harvest in 1972, reaching number 5 in Canada and number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Sherman Kelly wrote the song in 1969. While recovering from a vicious assault by a gang, he “envisioned an alternate reality, the dream of a peaceful and joyful celebration of life.“ Kelly wrote:
“On a trip to St. Croix in 1969, I was the first victim of a vicious St. Croix gang who eventually murdered 8 American tourists. At that time, I suffered multiple facial fractures and wounds and was left for dead. While I was recovering, I wrote “Dancin in the Moonlight“ in which I envisioned an alternate reality, the dream of a peaceful and joyful celebration of life. The song became a huge hit and was recorded by many musicians worldwide. “Dancin In The Moonlight“ continues to be popular to this day.“
He recorded it singing lead with his band Boffalongo, who were active from 1968 to 1971; they included it on their album Beyond Your Head, it was their final single. The song was also recorded by High Broom and released in 1970 on Island Records. It failed to reach the UK Singles Chart.
Sherman Kelly’s brother Wells Kelly introduced the song to the Paris-based band King Harvest in which he was drummer, and former Boffalongo member Dave “Doc“ Robinson was lead vocalist, bassist, and keyboardist. King Harvest recorded and released “Dancing in the Moonlight,“ featuring a prominent keyboard countermelody, as a single with “Lady, Come On Home“ on the B-side in 1972. Steve Cutler, a jazz drummer from New York City (standing on the base of the pole in the cover picture), played drums on the tracks and toured France and the UK with the band. The group disbanded after six months and the single languished for a year until it was bought and released worldwide by Perception Records. In Canada, the song reached number 5 on the weekly charts and number 71 on the year-end chart for 1973. It peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States the weeks of February 24 and March 3, 1973.
Remaster of the original stereo mix. I contemplated replacing the intro with the mono mix due to distortion, but I opted to keep the distorted intro.
