"Shadow Dancing" is a disco song performed by English singer-songwriter Andy Gibb. The song was released in April 1978 as the lead single from his second studio album of the same name. The song reached number one for seven weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1978. Albhy Galuten (who also produced this song) arranged the song with Barry Gibb. While Andy Gibb would have three more Top 10 hits in the U.S., this would be his final chart-topping hit in the United States. The song became a platinum record.
The song was written by Andy and his brothers (Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb) in Los Angeles, while the trio of brothers were working on the film "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". "And one night," Andy would recall, "while we were relaxing, we sat down and we had to start getting tracks together for the album" (also titled "Shadow Dancing"). "So we literally sat down and in ten minutes, we had a group going, (singing) the chorus part. As it says underneath the song, we all wrote it, the four of us."
"Shadow Dancing" was included on the album "Hail Satin" released in 2021 by the DEE GEES (an alter ego of the FOO FIGHTERS). Lead vocals on this cover were sung by Taylor Hawkins.
"Hail Satin", the vinyl debut of DEE GEES is out now at participating RSD independent record stores. The Album was recorded live at studio 606. Enjoy today's cover!
