Carrie Lucas: Dance With You

Remarks:

I remember this song, even some of the lyrics! In 1979 it went #27 on the US R&B chart and #70 on the pop chart. It was also on the first record I ever bought: “Winners” (1980), produced by Frankie Crocker, a DJ on WBLS in New York.

I no longer have the record and have not played it since the 1980s, so I have no idea how I know that the song was on it, but so it was:

• A side:
  1. The Jacksons: Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)
  2. The Whispers: And The Beat Goes On
  3. Shalamar: The Second Time Around
  4. Rufus & Chaka Khan: Do You Love What You Feel
  5. Spinners: Working My Way Back To You / Forgive Me Girl
  6. Carrie Lucas: Dance With You
  7. Isaac Hayes: Don’t Let Go
• B side:
  1. Ray, Goodman & Brown: Special Lady
  2. Smokey Robinson: Cruisin’
  3. Commodores: Still
  4. Kool & The Gang: Too Hot
  5. GQ: I Do Love You
  6. Ray Parker Jr. & Raydio: You Can’t Change That
  7. Teddy Pendergrass: Turn Off The Lights
  8. Dionne Warwick: I’ll Never Love This Way Again
