Bedtime Music: Orleans - Dance With Me

Although this band actually formed in the Hudson River valley town of Woodstock, New York, several members of the band Orleans had ties to the Finger Lakes region of New York, which I grew up in. So, for me, this was a "local" band that made it big.

Orleans had two huge hits in the mid '70s: Still the One, which was used endlessly by the American broadcast channel ABC, and "Dance With Me," which reached #6 on the pop charts. This video, obviously, is of the latter song.

Orleans' co-founder John Hall is now a Congressman, representing the 19th District of the State of New York.
