- For the week ending May 20 1978, "Dance With Me" reached the #31 position in its twelfth week forty one years ago today.
For the record there were two Peter Browns involved in the disco/dance scene who were each influential and popular throughout the disco era. The first Peter Brown is a New York based producer and songwriter most famous for Musique's "In The Bush", you know the disco porn tune "push push in the bush..." from 1978. The second Peter Brown is a multi-talented musician born July 11, 1953 who found fame on the dancefloor with "Do You Wanna Get Funky With Me" and the stellar "Dance With Me" a #4 Disco and #8 Hot100 hit in 1978. Peter's dad was an electronic engineer who exposed his son to new audio equipment including tape recorders that had more than one track meaning that there could be music on one track and the machine could record more instruments/vocals on the second one. As a teenager he chose the drums as his instrument of choice and included percussion once he heard and fell in love with the music of Santana, Chicago and Earth, Wind & Fire. He began collaborating with Cory Wade who began to teach Brown how to be a producer. Taking demo tracks to the famed TK Records office in Hialeah, Florida they met with Henry Stone who was totally enamored of the demos and wanted to release them as is. Brown felt that the demos needed more work to completely involve his vision of how it should be and held out until Stone agreed to re-record the music. The song was "Do You Wanna Get Funky With Me" and it became the very first Gold 12" single ever making a big wave in the clubs peaking at #9. The follow up was "Dance With Me" radio ready disco pop tune that ruled the summer of 1978. It featured fellow TK recording artist Betty Wright who was part of the innovative promotional music clip. There was a 60 Minutes segment on how the song came to be that you can view here

The accolades followed fast and furiously with Billboard handing Brown the #1 New Male Artist and Top New Male Single Vocalist in 1978. Record World declared Brown the Outstanding New Performer, Top New Male Vocalist and Top Male Vocalist. He was nominated for a Grammy Award for best R&B Vocal Performance for the song "Dance With Me", but lost to George Benson's "On Broadway (Live)" single version. In demand, he recorded songs for movie soundtracks and prepared to release his second LP "Stargazer" but did not hit the top 10 disco until "Can't Be Love - Do It To Me Anyway" in 1980 peaking at #6 as a non album single. "Baby Gets High" reached the same peak. In 1983 his "Overnight Sensation" single tanked at #55 disco, but the next song he released "They Only Come Out At Night" became his most popular disco single ever in 1983 peaking at #1 and was followed up by the #2 charting of (Love Is Just) The Game. Did you know he wrote "Material Girl"? That song became inextricably connected to Madonna who made the song her own and has been unable to shake her image of being the "Material Girl". Sadly Peter left the music business after developing a serious case of tinnitus in the late 80's. After a long hiatus, he returned to the studio in 2018 to record his fifth LP "Boom" in which he did it all on an iMac computer. The man is virtually a music machine! - Hudba
I think of 1977 as an awesome time in my life. Star Wars, KISS, Saturday night live, The Midnight Special, Black Light posters , Pop Rocks, cool muscle cars, KISS bubble gum cards as well as star wars cards. WONDER WOMAN , HULK, Bionic man and woman, CHiPS. What a great time to be alive. I was only 11.
I was 14 in 1977.
It was the best .
Starsky and Hutch, James at 15, 8 is enough, Hardy boys Nancy Drew
Still remember staying awake Friday nights to watch "The Midnight Special". Loved it. Now that was real artsts perfoming then
I was also 11 in 1977,and I remember all those things.
1999 was the Last Dance. That's is Why We Dance Like It's 1999. Prince, R.I.P.
I Liked the Video Showing Betty Wright Singing Background Vocals. May She R.I.P.
Perfect since 1978 when I was thirteen
In 1978 I was 14 years old. In that age I already enjoyed songs like that. I'm Brazilian and in Brazil we celebrate all the disco. It was golden years.
I am only 45 but the older i get i appreciate disco music especially the late 70s. I been on hunt on CZcams seeking how it was in club's around 77 78 79. 😊
This was my hustle side
After all of these years jammin to this song I NEVER knew Betty Wright was on vocal lead. How awesome is that?! I was just listening to it yesterday. Im done. Rest Betty.
Every time I think about it I have to smh. They WORKED IT!!!!!
Same here bro.
I didn't ether, and I remember this playing on the radio as a small child in the late 1970s (showing my age), and the funny thing about this is, this same lady (Betty) on this record I heard back then went on to mentor rappers like Lil Wayne. Very weird to me but she must have been cool like that R.I.P. Betty Wright.
She was an amazing talent. But sang back up not lead, they tripled her vocal in the overdubs.
@@josephvargas7421 Yup. I remember watching a report on 60 Minutes on this specific song, way back in 1978.
Brings back some great memories of clubbing and dancing all night.
We stayed on the floor with this tune! Love❤
This is how we got down back in the late 70's with Peter Brown ( Dance With Me)
1978 saturday night Basement house parties!
OH Man, this is real Funk Music. When I hear this song, I enter the tunnel of time. When this music came out, i was 15 years old. Great times

Oh, how the days have elasped, and time continue passing. Furthermore, I must say that this classic still sounds, new, fresh, original just like it did in 1978. A very unique era, and dynamic sound and experience.

DiscoCat, now you've gone and done it again, and this time, to one of my absolute favorites by the brilliant Peter Brown. You never disappoint and that's one of the many reasons why I am a huge fan of yours. Brilliant remix, DiscoCat...
True dancin sounds
OTTA SIGHT REMIX OF A GREAT DISCO SONG - THANK YOU '' DJDiscoCat '' GOD BLESS ''
The bass riff is sick....
I wonder why music artist these days cannot make music this great? Great pick.
They are lazy
because today's music has no feeling, no emotion....mainly because they say the same 5-10 words over and over...that said, there hasn't been one decent song in the last 10-20 years...that will be remembered as the songs pre1990!!!!
It's simple , because they suck .
@@richardboudeman8372 there have been several great songs in the last 20 years that are great.who pissed in your cornflakes?
really, you cant NAME five...HELL YOU CAN'T NAME ONE!!!!!!
Listening at 2020, february...someone else?
