SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME

[bpantz]

I'M NEW HERE, AND THIS HAS PROBABLY BEEN ANSWERED BEFORE, BUT I'VE BEEN DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR THE MALE ARTIST WHO PERFORMED THIS DISCO TUNE. I'VE HAD A RATTY OLD TAPE OF THE SONG FOR YEARS AND WANT TO UPDATE MY COLLECTION....CAN ANYONE HELP?

Dear bpantz!
Originally "Save The Last Dance For Me"
is from MORT SHUMAN, who sang it also too.
But also watch for the cover-versions from
IKE & TINA TURNER, PATTI LaBELLE and even
RAMONA WULF.
Cosmic Love & Kisses From SIRIUS & DARKTUNES

Just for the record, so to speak.....

Dolly Parton did a dance version in 1983, on RCA, produced by Val Garay.

late 1980 published Vanguard Records:
Free Expression - "Save The Last Dance For Me" as B-Side from "Chill Out" 12"-Single

THANKS! I'M FOLLOWING UP ON THE MORT SHUMAN AND "FREE EXPRESSION" LEADS, BUT HOW WILL I KNOW WHICH IS THE RIGHT VERSION? IS THERE A VENUE WHERE I MIGHT SAMPLE EITHER SONG SO I KNOW WHICH ONE I WANT TO BUY?

Try CDNow or Amazon.com... the German version of Amazon has tons more of sample audio files.

OKAY, THIS THING IS DRIVING ME A LITTLE NUTS...WENT TO THE GERMAN AMAZON SITE AND SAMPLED ABOUT 7O SONGS..NO LUCK. IT'S NOT MORT SHUMAN THATS FOR SURE. A MECO-STAR-WARS LIKE INTRO, PLAYING AT ABOUT 134 BPM, MULTIPLE MALE VOCALS LIKE THE DRIFTERS, WITH ONE GUY SINGING BASS ON ONE OF THE HOOKS... SOME HORNS AND BACKGROUND FEMALES-KICKASS HI-NRG RECORDING, BUT IT'S NOT SO NEW, I'VE HAD THE TAPE FOR 15 YRS, I THINK....HELP. HAVENT FOUND A SAMPLE OF THE 'FREE EXPRESSION' COVER, DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYONE WHO HAS A DIGITAL SAMPLE?
