Ben E. King - Dance With Me Lyrics

It was a great teenager movie "there goes my baby "

This song is so timelessly beautiful...
Made in an era when music meant something.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏ANTHEM ❤❤❤❤❤😊

Me and my sister used to dance to this song when we were really young..Memories

I can’t believe that I don’t have this song on my playlist. It’s off to the iTunes Store to rectify this oversight. I love everything that Ben E. King sings.

Qual o gênerodessas músicas?

The guy on this song playing the drums is kicking

We’re no longer strangers but now we’re more than friends.

POETRY

Dance With Me"

Dance with me...
Dance with me...
Dance with me...
Dance with me...

Dance with me
Oh...hold me closer, closer and closer
Much closer
While the music plays
Mmm...darling dance with me
Oh..hold me tighter tighter and tighter
Much tighter while the rhythm sways

Mmm...put your lips to mine
While the music plays
We're no longer strangers
Now we're more them friends

Dance with me, dance with me
Closer, closer and closer
And maybe we'll be lovers
When the music ends

Dance with me, dance with me
Closer, closer and closer
And maybe we'll be lovers
When the music ends
Darling won't you please
Darling won't you please
Darling won't you please

Fantastic....

Musica muito bonita.The driftets com Ben E. King é simplismente fenomenal. BEN um cantor grandioso que está entre os grandes da música.

So sad to see another legend as left our planet such a shame the best gone no match to replace ben e king r i p

Finally, Ben E. King made the cover!! Love me some Ben E. King! A voice that makes the song! From NC too! One of the best ever!! So was Clyde McPhatter. Great singers from the past!

What a stunning voice! I sung it when it came out years ago. It's still Beautiful as ever! Thank you. I love this!!!

Who could refuse an invitation to twirl around the dance floor while the Drifters weave their magic words to glide us effortlessly in a dance of sheer, delightful pleasure!

Still playing in 2018

MarcieLuzMusic. You said it! A fabulous song , one of The Drifter’s finest efforts without a doubt.

best of '59

On this day in 1959 {December 3rd} the Drifters performed "Dance With Me" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV weekday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'...
At the time "Dance With Me" was at #15 on Billboard's Top 100, that would also be it's peak position on the chart, and it also spent fifteen weeks on the Top 100...
It peaked at #2 {for 2 weeks} on November 9th, 1959 on Billboard's Hot R&B Sides chart, the two records that kept it out of the top spot were "So Many Ways" by Brook Benton and "Don't You Know" by Della Reese...
And on the same 'Bandstand' show they also performed "Dance With Me's" B-side, "(If You Cry)True Love, True Love", it reached #5 on the Hot R&B Sides chart and #33 on the Top 100 chart...
Between 1954 and 1966 the NYC-based group had thirty-six Top 100 records; five made the Top 10 with one reaching #1, "Save the Last Dance for Me", for three weeks in 1960...
Besides "Save the Last Dance for Me", their four other Top 10 records were "There Goes My Baby" {#2* for 1 week in 1959}, "Up On The Roof" {#5 in 1963}, "On Broadway" {#9 in 1963}, and "Under The Boardwalk" {#4 in 1964}...
* The week "There Goes My Baby" peaked at #2, the #1 record for that week was "A Big Hunk O Love" by Elvis...

Ben Nelson legacy started this version into being a distance version from the first group.

Darling, won't you please? Oh yeah!

BEN E KING MISS YOUR MUSIC , CAN I GET A WITNESS ?

De zanger van het songfestival van Nederland.

I would Dearly want Angela to Dance with Me to this song as it does tell me how much I am in love with her and I always will be until the end of time

Very pretty song!

I saw the Drifters at Hammersmith Paris, what a fantastic group.

what can you say the drifters made such great music and fantastic lead singers and this is one them

Love this song!!!!!

Me to...love this

Incredible sound.Love it.Johnny Lee Williams on first tenor.He also sang lead on True Love,True Love.These 5 guys were the Crowns.

gracias por esta gran reproducción :)

Simply brilliant!!💗The Best.Bar None!!x

Dance with me in this moment of our time and into all of tomorrows ever to come we will have been,

I cannot decide if I like this or Amor better, but Ben E. King sure could sing. Amazing. there's no doubt about that!

+g bridgman whatever makes ya ears happy, ya heart, ya soul, ya all. anyway take care be good but most of all, be Happy

This is a nice, typical Drifters tune, but IMHO, it doesn't compare to "Amor", which is one of his great solo renditions, recorded after he drifted away from The Drifters.

@Egbert Souce Ben E King's recording of Amor is fabulous. I love it.

Amor is fabulous. And "Young boy blues"

What a voice, even now 56 later this song is still amazing and holding the test of time.

the best lead singer the Drifters could have Ben E. King

Rudy Lewis was awesome also.

Clyde Mcphatter the founder, had such a distinctive voice.

great music

Kitty I love you stew

Ben E. King. 'Nuff said. RIP, Singer. Thanks for the post. Blessings

Best 'Voice' of the '60s!

Its like losing a friend that I grew up with.RIP

Lula Jackson r in case union officials

Ben E. King, what can I say. One of the lead singers of the Drifters. What a voice. One of my favorite songs back in 1959. R.I.P. Benny...

There's is no comparison between the music of today and the music of yesterday... FOREVER LIVE DOO WOP.

Goodbye Ben E. King,  :  (

May you r.i.p mr king thanks for the music

RIP to the great Ben E King.

Heute ist Ben E. King verstorben. Ruhe in Frieden. wieder ein toller Musiker, der jetzt im Himmel mit den Chören singt. R.I.P

Carlos Ivan...you know your music. Bravo

The Heartache of breaking up....

CLASSIC! The Driters and Ben E King, Leiber&Stoller, Atlantic-Atco Records Ertegun&Abramson, NY's Premiere R&B Record Company, The Sound of NY 1959, Highbridge the Bronx 4th grade

"maybe we'll be lovers when the music ends" as a kid I used to dream of love to come to such lyrics

Does someboby by any chance have this song performed by Vonda Sephard?(song was in Ally McBeal and I cant find it...:) so just asking...

Wish I had a girl to dance with.

A top voice of the 50's & 60's. One hit after another

THAT IS THE YEAR I GOT MARRIED.

THAT IS THE 50S THE BEST

My Father claims to have written this song in the 50s. He said that he recorded song at a local  radio station in the Caribbean and the next thing he knows is the Drifters singing the song on the radio. I have  seen a copy of his lyrics which says "Do Do Dance with me"." Do Do" in Caribbean Island talk means sweet heart. The Drifters lyrics says Dit dit dit dit dit .

Tried to make sense out of your comment but difficult to follow?   The Drifters at their best!       "Dance With Me"

+Abdon Ramdass I do want to believe you, not that I don't. Blame the white executives for the theft.

i heard it was written by a friend of the group who was disabled. He wrote it for his wife.

Fabulous.... I just had to hear this one right now!!  A classic for certain***** Thanks!

very nice

@mohamed ahmed  Thank you so much! 

A Classic , I saw them at a Murray the K Show in NYC in the 60's . It seemed every time they came back for a show they had a new lead singer ???

What great music cramped into 3 minutes due to the technology of the day.  The Drifters with Ben E. King made great music.  To bad they were limited to the short time per the media to perform.

...Everybody...join in on the WEXF radio festivities...57 years on the air

another one of my fav's (besides all his songs ^.^ ) would be "Stand by me" OMG love these songs :( wish he still had live shows i would love to see him 

the best music ever was sung in the 50's

Where are they now
I have never heard good songs like this one before and believe or not this song make me love music from western part

I haven't heard this in years.Great tune.We used to hear it when it came out.Does that make me old?

Played my 1967 high school frat dance, post-Diner days in Baltimore took band member for cigarettes at break! Wow.

I like the drifters this magic momet

I had the good fortune to see The Drifters when I was 14. What a show!

if we could only return to this era, everything was cool and singers could REALLY sing

Music made sense. Made you feel happy!

Someone who has no sense of r&b/soul, and who probably would take Herman's Hermits over Ben E. King & the Drifters!@#@

Mamauana chhakchhuak ditto.... It's such a great feeling....brings back wonderful memories.....

When i hear this song..the feeling i get is so amazing that i cant hardly understand and cant describes in words..close my eyes and feel the rhythm..and take me to that place where im in Peace and in Love...

Favourite Drifters song

The rest of the world, well the UK anyway held the Drifters in high esteem, they appeared in Liverpool clubs during the 70's and 80's on a regular basis, I should imagine other cities were hosts to them too.

I was lucky to attend a concert and dance of the "Drifters" in Albuquerque in 1960! Wow those were fun times! I'm glad to see that younger people are enjoying this music!

This video has a dislike????? Someone needs a shot of rhythm and blues and a swift kick is the ass.

Im going 29, and love to listen to 50-70'ies music, since I grew up with that playing on my parents LP-player!

How can anyone NOT feel like dancing when they hear this!!

Wow! My Dad used to dance to this all by himself'; then he taught me to dance. Memories.

Love this music can understand what is being said. Old school will last forever.

I knew aboutthe Drifters in my early 20s and really liked them but when I heard this song it brought a whole new meaning to my life. I cannot express what this song does to me. Possibly greatest drifters song ever. Thanks for posting I just love it!

1 person does not have a boo to dance with !!

I love Ben E. king and the drifters this music is the best the melody is great combined with his voice and the harmony is sensational. I wish that they still wrote music like this. @chip10289 I love susie q it's one of my favorite disney movies I have'nt seen it in years. whoever dislikes this song does'nt know shit from shinola.

CAN'T GET NO BETTER!

my favorite Drifters song. great harmonies.

Simply beautiful... ♫♪♥♫♪

Conjure-up the image of that "special someone" from long ago, from another time. Let your memory take you back... and there you are. Entwine your arms around your one-and-only, as you glide through the crowd... you're there again, and the Drifters are singing -- everything that was perfect is just so again!

Wow I remember dancing to this song in the early 60's!!

WOW PLAY THIS ON THE RADIO PLEASE!

100th person to like this! (:

Wonderful memories !

0 dislikes. That's what I like to see.

They were the first doo wop group to record with a symphony orchestra , I remember Ben E. King saying that in an interview , no other doo wop group sounded like them and their sound really stood out

my favorite group of all times.

@SoloPilot6 mm you're absitively right. perhaps I meant - and should've said - "my favourite of their hits" ^^


and btw the Drifters totally own the Platters

@schwarzfalk No. They don't have a best hit. They have best hitS, they were masters and you can't pick a single best, only the ten best.

LEGEND

by far their best hit, imo

memories...
