[Dm]
[Am] Welcome [N] to Flashback Favorites.
I'm Music Mike.
Thanks for joining me again.
If you like the sound of the Eagles, Pure Prairie League, and Poco, then you probably like Orleans.
Formed in 1972 in Woodstock, New York, Orleans released their first album in 1973 on ABC Records.
It didn't do much, but that's okay, because they got a better recording contract in 74 on Asylum Records,
and recorded this classic album.
Released in 75, it gave us one of the biggest songs by Orleans, called Dance With Me.
And their first single, which we're featuring today, they made it up to number 55 in 1975.
You hardly ever get to hear it on the radio.
Let there be music.
This is Orleans on [A] Flashback Favorites.
