The Gentrys - Keep On Dancing - 1965 45rpm

[Muffy5544]

it sounds more like a late 50s song than a mid 60s song

[wfarrar69]

i.m glad they put the first part of the song again.otherwise this song wouldn't been a big hit for them(#4pop 1965).this song rocks :)

Ahhhhh!!! I used to live two houses down from Jimmy Hart and remember when they used to practice on his side porch. I was about 6 years old at the time. Fell off my bicycle when he waved at me.

[Sids60sSounds]

@hhelyer Great memory! We all love tales like this. Thanks

I remember summer 1986 when me and my friends was cruisin around in a chevy impala and listened to this song ,over and over.

[katherine3486]

This was covered by the Bay City Rollers on one of their albums.

Come to think of it - may've been a single too!

But they had a key change in the middle!

[GeorgeErdel]

I was too young to drive when this was big but on the Skating Rink floor I would skate all out throughout the whole song only to be so tired when it was over. I love this song as it reminds me of beautiful Linda Staphens. Her parents would take me and my sister with their famuily skating several timea per month. Wow times were sure good then.

all of these guys except for one graduated high school with my sister in 1965TreadwellHigh School). I graduated there in 1974, but I remember seeing them at my first concert in 1965 at the Treadwell High Schooll auditorium. LarryRasberry(he's still in the music business). Sand lead and played all guitars. He was often compared to Rick Derringer as Hang on Sloopy by the McCoys came out about the same time. they looked alike and could both play a great guitar.

Summer, 1965........Paragon Park, Nantasket Beach, MA..........listening to this from the WBZ1030-AM remote hosted by the now-legendary disc jockey, Dick Summer........who went on to WABC New York and doing 100's of voiceovers....and still does then today.

[Kevin90028]

This might seem like an odd thing to say in this high-tech-is-better era, but I love the scratchy record sound as part of the listening experience.

True that Jimmy Hart of the WWF was a member of The Gentrys,Plus Larry

Raspberry....They weren't a ONE HIT WONDER.

They had a few more hits,Such as"Cinnamon Girl" & "Brown Paper Sack"

[322buick]

I used to stand on the throttle of my screamin' '56 Chevy whenever this song came on. I don't know why it turned me into a maniac. Stll can't explain it. I loved this song that much!

[retiredscot]

@322buick My Mom used to have a 1962 Buick LeSabre with a 322 Engine. Fastest car I ever drove--unlimited top-end as long as you had a straight road. DynaFlow Trans was NOT for Drag racing though.

[casyjones01]

@322buick i know how you feel i got a 69 el camino malibu that i do the same way when this song comes on

[slideshowfilms]
