Question:
Who is "Dancing In The Moonlight"'s original artist?
Answers:
Dancing in the Moonlight" is the title song on the 1973 King Harvest album. The track was released as a single the same year, and was King Harvest's only hit song. It reached #13 on the Billboard Hot 100. They released other singles but these were never able to match the success of "Dancing in the Moonlight". The track used a Rhodes piano thoroughout.
The song was written by Sherman Kelly in 1968, whose brother, Wells Kelly - King Harvest's drummer in the early 1970s - introduced the song to the band. It was originally recorded in 1970 by the British band: Boffalongo.
The song's first line, "We get it on most every night" is often misheard as "We get it almost every night"
Thin Lizzy's 1977 UK single release - "Dancin' In The Moonlight (It's Caught Me In Its Spotlight)" should not be confused with the King Harvest song, as it is a completely different track.
