My idea of fun dancing is what you saw on "Animal House" at the Delta Tau Delta toga party. That and any type of soul dancing.
We used to do a lot of dancing at our Delta Sigma Phi parties at NIU. We generally played just four albums (yes, albums as that is what we had back 1969-1973). They were: Green River by CCR (our fraternity song was "The Buffalo Song" to the tune of "Lodi"), Sly & the Family Stone's Greatest Hits, Four Tops Greatest Hits and Temptations Greatest Hits.
Play one side of all four, flip them over and do the other side. Repeat as needed.
I dance where the music takes me.

Dead Page: "Respect"-- The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore"
CORNELL DUPREE, JR. 68
Died May 8, 2011. Played guitar on Aretha Franklin's "Respect" along with that opening riff. Also played on Brook Benton's "Rainy Night in Georgia." Toured with Franklin's band in the late 60s and into the 70s.
How do you get better soul than "Respect?" One of my favorites.
JOHN WALKER, 67
Real name John Maus. Died May 7, 2011. Front man of the Walker Brothers who had their biggest hit in the U.S. with "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" which went to #13.
In a case of revers British Invasion, they were Americans who moved to Britain. Their real names were Scott Engel and Gary Leeds, but changed their name to Walker. More popular in England than in the U.S. with ten big hits. In 1964, their "Love Her" was a huge hit there.
He was a friend of Ritchie Valens and was one of his pall bearers. He also helped the late Dennis and Carl Wilson learn how to play the guitar.
